...amiable prophet, a genial man with a heartfelt belief that if America's entrepreneurial energies are unleashed, its families protected and its politicians chastened, everything will turn out O.K. This may be his most surprising contribution to the race: after a year in which Republicans like Pete Wilson, Pat Buchanan and Phil Gramm tried to outworry each other on affirmative action, immigration and crime, along comes Forbes, who wipes the polarizing issues off the table. In their place is the Reaganesque liturgy of hope and opportunity: "You don't have to bash immigrants," says Forbes' former media adviser Sal Russo...

Though he may seem like a political neophyte, Forbes actually got his start early, when he and his Bedminster, New Jersey, neighbor Christie Todd (now the Governor of his home state) were chosen to present dolls to Pat Nixon for Tricia and Julie during the 1952 campaign.

And Forbes thinks Dole could co-opt him by stealing his tax-reform ideas, as Gramm and Pat Buchanan have done. Dole's problem, says Forbes, is that "he only responds to his In box. No initiative, no ideas of his own. Everything he's done for 35 years has been exactly the wrong training for the Oval Office. I shouldn't offer him advice," he continues, but Dole could "learn from Alfred P. Sloan...

...history of success are taken into consideration. He weathered a similar down period with the Dolphins in the late '80s, only to rebuild them into a perennial play-off team. This time around, though, Shula had two things working against him: the ascendancy of new Miami Heat basketball coach Pat Riley, who has turned the N.B.A. team around, and the rabid nature of sports talk radio, which has been feeding the frenzy against Shula and for Johnson. When Shula's resignation was announced during halftime of a Heat game on Thursday night, the fans actually cheered. "After...
