...Flores, a Republican. "If we could change the nominee . . . well, I regret it all." The same polls that showed Bush pulling even with, or slightly ahead of, Michael Dukakis also indicated skepticism about Quayle. An NBC/Wall Street Journal survey last week found that, by 2 to 1, voters preferred Lloyd Bentsen over Quayle as President...
After his Senate loss to Lloyd Bentsen in 1970, Bush saw all the upward paths to elective office blocked in Texas, and decided to risk his future with Nixon and diplomacy. Secret notes in the Nixon archives show that Bush admitted, after serving in the U.N., that he could hardly go back and run for office in the state where he had begun his career by denouncing the U.N.

They live with their three daughters in Santa Monica and on a ranch in Montana. "What's so terrific about our marriage is Susan's support of my work," Bridges says. "Her name should be up in the credits along with mine." After Tucker, Susan may be demanding an even bigger screen credit. The movies' most reliable leading man is about to become a white...
