...Bush Administration has assigned DAN QUAYLE the task of leading the counterattack on the pit-bull candidacy of PAT BUCHANAN. The Vice President will visit New Hampshire three times before the Feb. 18 primary in an effort to convince voters that his boss hasn't abandoned the conservative creed. Secret Service agents will scout out bowling alleys and shopping malls where Quayle plans to make "spontaneous" stops to assert that the President understands the fears of middle-class Americans. Besides Buchanan, Quayle faces another nemesis: himself. A new poll indicates that 77% of New Hampshire Republicans would rather vote...
...true for all his Democratic rivals. Clinton has shown a little foreign policy leg on trade missions abroad, and he was the only Democratic candidate to support the Persian Gulf war unequivocally. He thinks the isolationism and protectionism being thumped by several Democrats as well as Republican Pat Buchanan are shortsighted. He prefers to move the discussion back to domestic policy as quickly as Bush gets onto a plane to avoid it. Economic growth, Clinton argues, is the solution.

Excessive is the word for director Barbra Streisand's movie -- and not an entirely pejorative one either. It is adapted -- by Pat Conroy and Becky Johnston -- from Conroy's romantic, sentimental and gothic novel, which has attracted a passionate following precisely because, in an age when most serious fiction has a pinched quality, his work is so gloriously unbuttoned...
...declaring his long-shot challenge to George Bush for the Republican presidential nomination, conservative columnist Pat Buchanan toned down some of his reactionary ideas. But he retained enough traces of xenophobia to sound like a flashback from the isolationist 1930s. Launching his campaign in New Hampshire, where the first 1992 presidential primary is only nine weeks away, Buchanan demanded no less than America's retreat from the world at flank speed...
