...gearing up for an assault against reform on the logical assumption that they might have to pay more in taxes. Indeed, the realization is dawning that millions of Americans will have to pay more under any reform plan that could be passed by Congress. Even Indiana Republican Senator Richard Lugar contended that the President "misspoke" in declaring that no one would pay more. A common estimate is that nearly a third of all taxpayers will end up losers in the complicated game of whose tax break should be protected and whose taken away...

...Dole is the front-runner, Indiana Senator Richard G. Lugar is hot on his trail. Though he lacks the seniority of his competitors (Lugar first entered the Senate in 1976), he enjoys a velvety smooth relationship with the Reagan Administration and is well-liked for his conciliatory approach in the legislature. Moreover, Lugar chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which has dispersed more than $8 million so far to support 1984 Republican senatorial contenders.

...hard? Because he remembers 1972 and the last G.O.P. landslide. "I went through the McGovern year," he says of his initial, unsuccessful run for Governor. "The coattail effect this year, the potential for a Reagan victory, is something I have to factor in." Indeed, last week Indiana Senator Richard Lugar, head of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, declared the West Virginia seat one of three he believes might be taken from the Democratic column...

Republicans, however, seem sure that the President's high standing in the polls will prove a boon for other Republican candidates. Senator Richard Lugar, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, calls Reagan's margin in the polls "the best single indicator in any state" of overall G.O.P. electoral chances. Reagan is taking every opportunity to tie his candidacy to those of other G.O.P. office seekers. Says a key House Republican campaign aide: "Should Ronald Reagan win in a landslide, but we fail to add to our numbers in the House, the Reagan revolution is over...
