Gephardt decided to make the 1988 race even before the 1984 one was over, as he watched Gary Hart surge against Walter Mondale in the Iowa caucuses. Since then, Gephardt has practically moved to Iowa; in 1986 and '87 he spent 97 days in the state. But his personal dedication and his tailor-made stances have been able to carry him only so far. He rose quickly to become one of the front runners following Gary Hart's demise last spring, but he has since stalled while Paul Simon and Michael Dukakis have moved ahead of him in recent Iowa...
...been a season of unprecedented questioning, which began when Gary Hart was asked in a press conference, "Have you ever committed adultery?" Soon reporters were talking about who else would be asked the A question. And then the M question. Few candidates summoned the nerve to rebel, as Alexander Haig did on a CNN interview when asked why he was "touchy" about the pot issue. "I'm not touchy about it at all," he replied with a Haigian glare. "But if you ask me if I ((used marijuana)), I'm going to tell you it's none of your damn...
That is exactly the response proposed by the Miami Herald's Tom Fiedler, who was the lead reporter in the stakeout that broke the Gary Hart-Donna Rice story. Last week Fiedler wrote in a column that the "character issue" was now being carried to "absurd" lengths.

Integrity is certainly the most important of a public servant's requisite virtues, and strictly speaking Ginsburg and Hart failed on this account. The fundamental question raised by the Ginsburg and Hart affairs, however, is not truthfulness versus untruthfuless. It goes much deeper, asking whether any person or agency has the right to ask about entirely private matters in the first place. For if such probing is inappropriate, the ultimate truthfulness of Ginsburg's--or any other candidate's--response must be seen as entirely irrelevant. A public figure has, in essence, the right to lie about or fudge questions...
