Kemp the supply-side tax cutter and Dole the dogged budget balancer have been ideological enemies for almost two decades. At some point the political antagonism tilted into the personal. Kemp was partly responsible for the single most painful political betrayal in Dole's life.

Others gathered on street corners, talking about what they had seen, reflecting on their narrow escape from death. There were few tears. It was too soon for anger.
