...whose job he sought. As Senate majority leader, Dole had been asked to join a high-level, bipartisan delegation assembled by Bill Clinton to attend the funeral of Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister assassinated only hours earlier. Dole had barely known Rabin but viewed him as a soul mate nonetheless--a "no-nonsense kind of guy," he told me as we flew toward Washington--someone "who knew how to get things done."

The choice was to be announced in a half-hour infomercial scheduled to air on CBS at 8 p.m. EDT tonight, Reform Party sources tell The Associated Press. Choate is a protectionist and was a strong Perot ally in opposing NAFTA. He co-authored a book with Perot after the Texas billionaire's unsuccessful 1992 presidential run. Choate recently has traveled the country promoting Perot...
