...Information Age economy could well be the defining issue of the next generation. Pat Buchanan's candidacy raises the possibility of a party realignment that would unite those who hold a dim view of the new world (like the supporters of Buchanan, Ross Perot, Jesse Jackson and Ralph Nader) against forward-looking optimists like Bill Clinton and Jack Kemp. Far-fetched? Perhaps, but when Pat Buchanan's economics are to the "left" of Ted Kennedy's, American politics is ripe for a change...
...Forbes too virulently. The core of his support comes not so much from flat taxers and supply siders but rather from a growing army of weakly aligned Republicans and independents who dislike politics and the political parties and see in Forbes the fresh, unrehearsed and unretouched reincarnation of Ross Perot.

But never before have so many new issues rocketed to such high prices on the basis of hope rather than proven results. Take Netscape, for example. While the company managed...
George Stephanopoulos, President Clinton's senior policy adviser, gave the keynote address. He then participated on a panel which included Clayton Mulford, a former aide to H. Ross Perot, and Joseph Malone '78, the Massachusetts state treasurer, both of whom gave speeches of their own last night...
