...heart of Wilson's problems is a scabrous disunity among his chief lieutenants amounting to a civil war. It pits a former George Bush operative against a tight inner circle of long-standing Wilson loyalists and, more precisely, political manager against political strategist. On one side is Craig Fuller, a former tobacco-company executive and chief of staff to then Vice President Bush. On the other is George Gorton, a longtime Wilson political consultant who has shaped the strategy for all Wilson's campaigns with a talent for crystallizing hot issues, from three-strikes-you're-out to illegal immigration...
...aides have clashed from the outset. When Wilson named Fuller his campaign chairman in June, Gorton, who has a penchant for Far East spirituality, went off to Thailand in a huff. But he returned to do battle. Soon Fuller found himself up against Gorton's vision: to squeeze Wilson's name onto the Dole-controlled ballot in the high-visibility New York primary, even at the price of $750,000 in signature gathering plus legal costs.

A law requiring those who design Internet mail systems to implement secure parental control would allow parents and teachers fuller control of what children have access to, and would satisfy everyone except those who object to such control.

...APPROXIMATELY 25 WOMEN EVERY day who are 50 or older. The difference between women on long-term hormone-replacement therapy and those who are not on it is generally quite striking. If selected properly for family history and certain other cancer risks, patients on HRT can expect a much fuller, happier and healthier life. Those who say menopause is "natural" are entirely misinformed. It is much more natural to take hormones. As for the contention that there are financial incentives for doctors prescribing hormones, this is utter bunk. BRIAN PECK, M.D. Waterbury, Connecticut...
