While Berman has been collecting material on Dole for a year, the Dole campaign has only one researcher on staff--it fired its other one a few weeks ago--and now must rely on a Republican National Committee search operation that Dole officials say, in their most generous tones, could be much better. Much of the research on Clinton, says a top Dole official, is either inaccessible or does not exist. That doesn't help a team whose members often complain that they are not sure what the candidate will be doing or saying on any given...

At just over 200 pages, The Flaming Corsage contains more dramatic events, bright dialogue and strong characters than most novels twice its length.

...paying for it, we might as well prescribe something," Crumley says. "This will make people think before acting." Some doctors warn that this is a step toward managed care that would eventually lead to reduced services for patients. Crumley disputes that contention. "The system won't be as generous, but it can't be," Crumley says. "It will however be generous by American standards. The quality of care won't be affected.
