President Clinton was not the only politician facing a Cuban crisis last week. So was Steve Forbes. The Republican presidential aspirant continued to come under fire from conservative Cuban-American quarters in Congress for the "repugnant activities" of one of his top political boosters, economic consultant Jude Wanniski. In 1994 Wanniski made a friendly port of call to Havana in a private effort to market his famed supply-side capitalist remedies to top Cuban officials.

In the meantime, "he's having the time of his life," says writer Peggy Noonan, a friend who also helped polish Forbes' announcement speech. But his 18-hour days on the campaign trail are anything but a holiday. At a Burger King in Iowa City recently (Forbes is keen on the French fries), he was approached by a woman holding a baby...
