...last week that the Times had not distinguished between what is public and what is private. Earlier, a Jackson aide had attempted to rally fellow Democratic candidates to reject the Times's request.

...remaining candidates, but TV talk-show hosts and newspaper reporters came close enough by demanding to know whether the inquiry was a legitimate campaign issue.

Babbitt's status as an obscure ex-Governor and outsider reminds the galleries of Jimmy Carter's standing in the spring of 1975. Carter -- like Babbitt, Gephardt and most of the others today -- bet everything on Iowa and rode that success through New Hampshire. The 1988 race resembles the one in 1976 in a number of ways.
