...Pete Wilson's decision to drop out of the Iowa caucus has rival GOP campaigns dismissing his candidacy, but it may be too early to count him out. West Coast bureau chief Jordan Bonfante notes that, given the $14 million it takes to run in the early round of caucuses and primaries starting with Iowa and New Hampshire, every candidate except Bob Dole will be forced to skip at least one. "You can put a price tag on Wilson's decision: $1.1 million. That's what it would cost to launch an effective grassroots campaign in Iowa, and Wilson...
...first major swipe at Bob Dole, Pete Wilson today declared the GOP frontrunner soft on welfare reform. "The compromises being cut in the Senate raise serious doubts as to whether the Senate Republican leader really understands the mandate the voters gave us last November to make dramatic change," Wilson told the Heritage Foundation in Washington. Los Angeles bureau chief Jordan Bonfante says it's the opening gambit in the California governor's plan to "portray himself as taking action as governor on these very issues that Dole is just talking about and compromising on in the Senate.

Is this not the very thing that all the Republican presidential candidates, and sundry moral scolds upholding the alleged "true meaning" of civil rights, have been clamoring to denounce? Where is Pete Wilson while this woman proposes to travesty the principles of racial equality that our country holds dear? Why is Pat Buchanan not out there on the stump denouncing this elitist exercise in anti-white social engineering...
...Pete's sake, have fun! Paul Rudnick lives to be giddy . Court jester of the Plague Years, the gay playwright-essayist has brought his romantic comedy about aids (you'll have to take our word for it) pretty successfully to the screen. Jeffrey faces its antsy audience head on: when two men kiss, we see a shot of two movie-house couples, the guys gagging, the girls enthralled. Under Christopher Ashley's direction, Steven Weber is beguiling as a '90s Candide. He gets suave support from Patrick Stewart and a scene stolen from under him by Nathan Lane...
