There is probably no one more loyal to Dole than Washington lawyer and lobbyist Robert Lighthizer, but not everybody fully knows why--and that tale is a classic of Washington back scratching.

He is the Scout who goes ahead, prowling the unexplored bushes of public opinion. He is the Whipping Boy who takes the blame whenever anything goes wrong. He is the Janitor who sweeps up the floor (usually using some victim as the broom). He is the Public Executioner, the Court Poisoner and the Bouncer...
