...President Reagan came up here when Howard Baker was leader, and Howard showed him the view," says Dole, sweeping aside the curtains behind his desk and revealing through repairmen's scaffolding the marbled city below with its great avenues running toward the White House.

The nicest thing many Democrats could find to say last week about their chairman, Howard Dean, was that he still had a lot to learn. Practically every nationally known Democrat from House minority leader Nancy Pelosi to 2004 vice-presidential nominee John Edwards seemed to be distancing themselves from Dean and his incendiary comments--asserting that many Republicans "never made an honest living in their lives" and that the G.O.P. is "pretty much a white, Christian party...
