He was 62 when his wife and longtime partner Gracie Allen retired, but his career was barely past its midpoint. He went on to even greater success in nightclubs, television and movies.

...convention. Dickerson notes: "Unlike Buchanan, who has a different core support, the Forbes constituency is likely to melt back into the Republican electorate." Also, don't expect to see Forbes, whose challenge drained the Dole campaign coffers, out on the hustings with Dole. All of this marginalizes supply- sider Jack Kemp, who endorsed Forbes after Dole's convincing sweep of "Junior Tuesday" last week.
