Just how tricky that blend will be is evident in the results of the latest TIME/CNN Election Monitor, a poll that returns periodically to the same large sample of registered voters to map the shifts in their mood. If Bob Dole is right that the primaries this year are a battle for the heart and soul of the party, what he's likely to find is a detectable pulse in several far-separated points on the ideological spectrum. Is there a way to mix contented executives with angry workers? And to mix ardent pro-lifers with libertarians? If there...
...Buchanan has that know-how. In the TIME/CNN Election Monitor, he's the G.O.P. candidate with the largest share of supporters, 31%, in the $20,000-to-$35,000 income range. The same group comprises just 21% of Dole's backers, 19% of Alexander's and 14% of Forbes'. Mario Abruzzini, 37, is a bricklayer in Concord, California, who likes Buchanan because he's concerned about immigration but also because he bares his fangs at the business elite.

...line with other polls, what the Election Monitor points to is a race in which different constituencies within the party--not all of them compatible ones--each have a clear and present candidate. For the radically discontented, Buchanan. For the upscale suburbanite whose main concern is tax relief, Forbes. That leaves Dole and Alexander to divide between them the Republican center. "More than in most races one can imagine the prototypical Dole, Buchanan and Forbes voters," says Republican strategist William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard. "You can imagine them living very different lives and not liking each other very...
...terrible fear on the part of those who would regulate an increasingly intangible entity. There is nothing stopping any one of us from cutting and pasting a few thousand e-mail addresses into our e-mail programs and sending messages off. No one has the resources to monitor potential violations of mass e-mailings. There is much legal ambiguity in FAS policy, especially in what "indiscriminately" means (after all, the Opportunes' message was not 'indiscriminate' so far as I can tell: it was targeted at a very specific audience of potential concert-goers...
