Bush had a giant basket of names to start with--from Texas, from his father, from his work in Major League Baseball, from Yale, Harvard and Andover. He and Rove appealed to the old hands in a new way: he actually asked for their opinions before he asked for their money. He questioned them about the political landscape, about the other candidates' strengths and weaknesses, about policy--the kind of intellectual stroking that fund raisers don't normally get.

Already there are private physician labor unions in about half the states, and some American Medical Association delegates want the national organization to study the possibilities and take a stand. There are major hurdles. First, of course, not all doctors agree. And second, there are some questions of definition.
