...News, which is owned by the Gannett Company, and the Detroit Free Press, which belongs to Knight-Ridder, continue to run separate news operations but have maintained joint business operations since 1989. Though their combined circulation has decreased by 24 percent (according to the companies) and they expect to lose over $100 million because of the strike, Gannett and Knight-Ridder won't give in to settlement even by arbitration. These are national newspaper chains; they are dedicated to serving up a profit-making product, much as McDonald's dishes out greased buns. People love it, but they...
...result, suggestions that he is cool to a bid spread like wildfire through Republican circles last week, which had to come as a bitter comfort to Bob Dole. Here is a man who, if the polls are right, could lose the job he wants so much to a man not sure he wants it at all. The whole Powell drama has been one long nightmare for Dole, especially as leader of a party that is rarely inclined to flirt with renegades or derail front runners.

And without Powell, and barring any surprise entries, the nomination will surely go to Dole, who most certainly will lose to Clinton in a two-way race. But even with the advantages of Powell as standard-bearer, many Republicans are hoping the general chooses continued retirement...
...Perot can capture 20 per-cent of the vote, Powell's good for at least 35 percent provided he doesn't self-destruct in public, like Muskie or McGovern, or run a terrible campaign and lose momentum, like Dukakis. His splendid performances during Desert Storm press briefings and his recent book tour show that he has the charisma and skill to campaign across America. Thirty-five percent in a three-way race would mean either victory or the election being sent to the House of Representatives...
