...shucks attitude or praeteritio, as Dole practiced it in the first debate: "I've never discussed Whitewater, as I've told you personally. I'm not discussing Whitewater now."

...while last week the candidate sounded like someone who had chosen Death with Dignity, who wanted, before leaving public life, to erase his public image as a growling hatchet man and put on display for the history books the kind of senatorial courtesy he has been known for in his 35 years on Capitol Hill. Asked by Koppel whether he'd rather "lose as a gentleman or win rough," Dole replied, "Well, I'd like to win, but there are certain limits. I can't see myself getting into the mud here in the last three weeks...Whatever happens...
