Bath's penchant for secrecy has been frustrated by a feud with a former business partner, Bill White, who claims that Bath was a front man for CIA business operations. White contends that Bath has used his connections to the Bush family and Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen to cloak the development of a lucrative array of offshore companies designed to move money and airplanes between the Middle East and Texas. White, an Annapolis graduate and former Navy fighter pilot, claims it was Bentsen's son Lan who suggested that White go into the real estate development business with Bath...

A tinge of idealism, a little poetry and some biting humor can disarm one's most vociferous opponents. Unfortunately, it's clear that Rudenstine (to quote Sen. Lloyd Bentsen) is no Jack Kennedy...

"People are going to be deeply concerned," says Bentsen, if the economy shambles feebly into 1992. "They're going to be worried about their pocketbooks and not be so concerned about 21-gun salutes." Bush has the advantage of starting with a large credit line of goodwill among voters. "The economy will have to take a real nose-dive for him to lose the election," says Larry Sabato, a professor of political science at the University of Virginia. But he also contends that...
