...next generation. Pat Buchanan's candidacy raises the possibility of a party realignment that would unite those who hold a dim view of the new world (like the supporters of Buchanan, Ross Perot, Jesse Jackson and Ralph Nader) against forward-looking optimists like Bill Clinton and Jack Kemp. Far-fetched? Perhaps, but when Pat Buchanan's economics are to the "left" of Ted Kennedy's, American politics is ripe for a change...
...opposite direction. Forbes is in some ways a harder enemy to tackle, and not just because his wealth gives him running room. By targeting the messenger, Dole is threatening to sink the message, which is getting him into trouble with others who share Forbes' supply-side devotion. Jack Kemp, aware of how Dole lusts for his endorsement, weighed in with aid and comfort to Forbes.

"He was Mr. Inside, and I was Mr. Outside." The two have kept a cordial distance, but the rivalry turned poisonous...
...cuff links to the faithful. Reed's political godfather was consultant Roger Stone, who saw his charge's talent as an organizer and engineered his rise to deputy regional political director for the Reagan-Bush re-election in 1984. Four years later Reed became a shining star in Jack Kemp's undistinguished presidential campaign and later Kemp's chief of staff. Next stop: the Republican National Committee, where he was executive director, leaving it in strong financial shape. The hallmarks of Reed's style are simple: organization, organization, organization...
