...President's Associates" receive all those prizes plus dinner with Rudenstine, often on the eve of the Yale game. Members of the "President's Council" ($25,000) also get a dinner...
Sharply criticized in the press, and even by some prominent Republicans, Bush promptly backed off his unsubstantiated criticisms of the Moscow trip. But he redoubled his attacks on the Democrat's antiwar record.

Yet the campaign's opening phase, the seven weeks from the end of the conventions to the eve of the debates, was mostly motion, without progress. In seven polls released shortly before the debate, Clinton's lead continued in double digits, averaging 12 points; President Bush's support averaged only 35%. Ross Perot was at 10%, though his sharp and engaging debate performance may improve his standing...
