...concluded by reading an excerpt from the preface to her current project, a collection of essays reflecting on her former residence in Hawaii...
Political consultant Ed Rollins, in his account, Bare Knuckles and Back Rooms, of Ross Perot's 1992 presidential campaign [BOOK EXCERPT, Aug. 12], still seems not to appreciate how acceptable (and cost-effective) Perot's departure from "normal" campaigning was. And Perot's approach was so in tune with his assaults on wasteful government spending that he appeared to be setting the right example of how to run for President without spending exorbitant sums. Perot's political instincts were probably correct when he refused a Rollins-recommended campaign that would have cost $147 million. In view of Perot's military...
Only about 25% of what Ed Rollins said about me in your excerpt of his book is true, and that's about par for his course.

And, remember, send your check care of the D.S.C.C...
...Republic. Since taking over the neoliberal weekly in October 1991, Sullivan has kept it roiling with controversy, running such cover stories as a 1994 attack on Clinton's health-care plan by Betsy McCaughey (which many credit with turning the political tide against the plan) and a lengthy excerpt from The Bell Curve, the book by Charles Murray and Richard J. Herrnstein, linking IQ with race. Last week, after 4 1/2 years at the helm, Sullivan resigned as editor and found himself at the center of another controversy. The question: Did he quit, or was he fired...
