...Gephardt was back. "I do think it would be possible," he said, "now that Mike has modified his trade stance, and if the convention desires . . ." His voice trailed off. The director ordered a close-up of Dukakis, silently doing the math once more; Gephardt, even if he could sway all his delegates, could not assure the nomination. "Forgive me, Ted," Dukakis said, "but really this is not the forum to be holding such conversations.

One likely casualty is a controversial amendment proposed by Representative Richard Gephardt of Missouri to take action against countries that run chronic surpluses with the U.S. and engage in unfair trade practices. It would require the President to impose trade sanctions on those nations that would reduce the surpluses by 10% a year. Gephardt has made trade the central issue of his presidential campaign, but enthusiasm in Washington for his measure has almost disappeared since...
