...point in the uproar that led to his withdrawal from the 1988 presidential campaign had Gary Hart given way to contrition and remorse, as he did during last week's lull after the storm. "I take full responsibility for what I did and the big mistakes I made," he said. Although Hart had quit the race "angry and defiant" over headlines about the weekend he spent with Miami Model Donna Rice, he was now less willing to shift the blame: "The news media made mistakes, but it was wrong of me to make it seem like it was all their...
...Hart's remarks were more meaningful because they were uttered not for the benefit of the press but for 15 senior staffers at his Denver headquarters. "I realize that I've hurt people and let all of you down, and I apologize," he told his aides during a two-hour farewell meeting in the cramped corner office of Campaign Manager William Dixon. "There are a lot of idealistic 23-year-old kids out there that I have hurt, and I want you to tell them that I'm sorry and that they should not get discouraged and should keep working...

Said Dixon: "Like the rest of us, he can't afford to interrupt that income stream. He can't just take a year off and write novels." The author of two novels already, Hart does hope to start another one in his spare time...
...shuttered campaign ignore its financial problems. It still owes $1.2 million from the 1984 presidential race. (Although nearly $2 million had been raised for the 1988 race, only a small surplus is expected to remain after bills are paid.) Hart's organization has asked the Federal Election Commission for permission to pay down the old debt with an estimated $1.1 million in federal matching funds that Hart will request for the 1988 effort. But he may no longer qualify for this money: the agency is supposed to allot matching funds only to candidates actively seeking the presidency...
