...general election. Gerald R. Ford, bruised and battered from a tough campaign against Ronald Reagan, could not hold on to the presidency in 1976. The winner of that race, Jimmy Carter, met the same fate four years later, when Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54-'56 made another foray into presidential politics...
Much of the resentment, of course, is fueled by the seemingly endless recession. Bush's Tokyo foray, in which the enduring -- and symbolic -- image was of the American President collapsing into the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister, intensified American feelings of anger and humiliation. Pat Buchanan, whose New Hampshire stump speech includes numerous nods to his isolationist "America First" economic platform, fans the flames. "We're on a wave of Japan bashing that is much more serious than in previous years," concludes I.M. Destler, a visiting fellow at the Institute for International Economics in Washington...
...someone from a small state who isn't well known, the big deal is having people become comfortable with someone who's just come into their lives." But it is obvious that Clinton can't wait.

After seeing Bush's answer to a question about extending unemployment benefits ("If a frog had wings, he wouldn't hit his tail on the ground -- too hypothetical"), Clinton said, "Oh it'll be fun. Sometimes I have...
Last week the dogged challenger was out stumping on Christmas Eve. At a J.C. Penney in Bedford, he bought five pairs of socks, pointing out that when Bush made a symbolic shopping-mall foray recently it was in distant Maryland -- and that the President bought only four pairs. Despite his pluck and energy, Buchanan has severe handicaps: low budget, frail organization and an obsession with ideology that may confine his appeal to the right wing. If Buchanan concentrates his fire on Bush as an uncaring patrician whose feckless policies devastated New Hampshire's economy, he could attract some moderates...
...Chile's foray into "capitalism" on the neo-liberal model began in 1973, when the democratically-elected left-wing government of Salvador Allende fell at the hand of a supposedly pro-free-market junta. The Soviet Union began its "market reforms" under Gorbachev in the mid-1980s. In the late 1980s, Boris Yeltsin and the mayor of Moscow supposedly endorsed and put into motion more radically free-market reforms...
