...decided early on in his campaign to go for a positive, "Why I'm qualified to be governor" campaign line, but let's not be too purist, Frank. It didn't work out that way. All three debates this fall boiled down to name-calling matches between Hatch and King, with the press spurring it on. Finally, Hatch admitted he would be damn scared to see King be governor of the state for four years, while King came back saying that Hatch is just a rich incompetent, totally unqualified to run a state government...

Both Washington and Jerusalem want negotiations on the future of the West Bank and Gaza to include Jordan's King Hussein?a prospect the West Bankers view with mixed feelings. Many moderates believe that Jordanian rule over the territory between 1949 and 1967 was fully as objectionable as the Israeli occupation. Last month, when King Hussein voiced his own skepticism over the Camp David proposals for Palestinian autonomy, objecting...
