...that with all this good news for Perot the prospects for him and his Reform Party seem to be growing dimmer? In a TIME/CNN poll last week, more than twice as many registered voters said Clinton and Dole have what it takes to be a good President compared with those who liked Perot. (Only 22% feel that way about the Texan now, down from 35% in May 1992.) In a three-way race, just 13% said they would vote for Perot, a slide from 19% last September. The major-party candidates seem to have concluded that the American public...
...Neal, a recording and movie star in his spare time, to more easily pursue these other endeavours. While Laker fans are excited about the addition of a new megastar to the Los Angeles scene, the reaction in Orlando may not be as negative as one would expect. In a poll in the Orlando Sentinel earlier this week, 90 percent of respondents said O'Neal was not worth the $115 million the Magic was offerring. Apparently the Lakers didn't agree. The signing caps a stunning seven-day stretch of megadeals that begs the question how much is too much? Chicago...

Americans today have either lost their moral judgement or relegated it to the lowest position on the hierarchy of issues upon which they choose their political candidates...
Most political pundits subscribe to the latter rationale. Their proverbial argument amounts to proclaiming that Dole's advanced age and inability to communicate account for Clinton's lead in election polls. The same U.S. News and World Report poll substantiates this analysis. Fifty-four percent of Americans would vote for a candidate with serious concerns about his character but with a similar political bent, while only 31 percent would vote for the individual whose character they respect but whose opinions they do not favor...
