...stream of donations into a raging river. When Bush announced last week that he had raked in $36.25 million, the news instantly transformed the 2000 campaign. He had not only outraised his nearest G.O.P. rival, John McCain, 9 to 1, but raised double the $18.2 million collected by Al Gore, the sitting Vice President and Democratic heir apparent. And Bush is just getting started. On Friday, a top adviser confidently told TIME that the campaign's new fund-raising goal is $70 million by January--meaning that Bush will refuse federal matching funds and thereby be free from the state...
Bush wasn't last week's only winner of the money-expectations game. Bill Bradley, Gore's sole Democratic opponent, reported a surprisingly high $11.5 million in donations, enough to ensure he'll have the resources to challenge the Vice President deep into the primary season. That means the 2000 campaign could turn into a replay of '96, except this time it could be the Democrat who depletes his money fighting a pesky primary opponent and then gasps his way through a long, hot summer. If Bush wins the nomination while hoarding his money, he'll be in a position...

...tragic events is America's dependence on oil. Will a former oilman from Texas, George W. Bush [CAMPAIGN 2000, June 21], lead America to a future of alternative fuels? Where does his allegiance lie? In all likelihood the presidential election in 2000 will be a showdown between Bush and Gore, and the emphasis placed on environmental policy will be a clear way to distinguish between the two candidates. Is the public informed and mature enough to understand the importance of moving away from fossil fuels and making it a key election issue? If the answer is yes, Bush will lose...
...Hill regard Freeh's move as a taunt at Reno, who's resented by senior FBI executives as too solicitous of the White House. There's speculation that the LaBella award is a classic Freeh maneuver, a signal to the G.O.P. majority in Congress that Freeh is no Clinton-Gore lackey and would be a good fit in, say, a George W. Bush Administration. "Freeh is widely seen by the Democrats as grandstanding and being far too political for that job," says a congressional Democratic staff member. But Freeh associates insist he has no ulterior motive. "He's just giving...
