Lehder, said prosecuting U.S. Attorney Robert Merkle, "was to cocaine transportation what Henry Ford was to automobiles." As part of the notorious Medellin Cartel, he and his partners allegedly controlled 80% of the U.S. coke trade. Extradited to Florida last February, Lehder is specifically accused of shipping 3.3 tons of cocaine into the U.S. The trial, which should last three months, will include testimony from some 200 witnesses presented to an anonymous jury...

...crafty insider. Political Analyst Kevin Phillips complains, "The image you get is that he drinks milk shakes one day and bourbon the next." Though his Senate record sustains his claims of being sensitive to the needy, he is still haunted by the image he earned as Gerald Ford's hatchet-wielding running mate in 1976. Even New Hampshire voters, whose closest encounter with Dole is a handshake at a Rotary Club luncheon, refer knowingly to Dole's "dark side...
