...Chinese press frequently runs cautionary tales of cozened brats. A cartoon in Chinese Youth, for example, depicts an obese child lying in a bed littered with toys, stuffing himself with cakes and milk served by Mother, while Father stands ready to dress him. In his column in the China Daily, Xu Yihe writes disapprovingly of Jiajia, a friend's pampered daughter who barely budges to prepare for school in the morning. While Jiajia sits on her bed, says Xu, "her mother combs her hair, her grandmother feeds her breakfast, her grandfather is under the table putting her shoes...

Always witty, Dole has been working overtime to keep the sting out of his quips. But the down-to-earth manner of the new, improved Dole does not always mesh with that of the crafty insider. Political Analyst Kevin Phillips complains, "The image you get is that he drinks milk shakes one day and bourbon the next." Though his Senate record sustains his claims of being sensitive to the needy, he is still haunted by the image he earned as Gerald Ford's hatchet-wielding running mate in 1976. Even New Hampshire voters, whose closest encounter with Dole...
