...against one another. And as he comes under close scrutiny for the first time outside Arkansas, Clinton may well be vulnerable on a variety of issues. One of them is his penchant for offering what sounds like detailed programs that on examination sometimes turn out to be distressingly vague. Nebraska Senator Robert Kerrey has already assailed the imprecision of Clinton's stand on health care, which is emerging as one of the hottest issues of the campaign.

Massachusetts' Paul Tsongas will probably be considered a regional candidate even if he wins the Feb. 18 primary in next-door New Hampshire. Jerry Brown is still orbiting a distant planet. Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey has been tarnished by conflict-of-interest reports, his failure to flesh out a specific message beyond a comprehensive national health-care plan, and an emerging perception that he is little more than a biography in a suit. And then there is Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, whose embodiment of Rooseveltian notions...
