Bush trumpeted his vice-presidential selection process as a model by which his fitness for the White House should be judged. But the behind-the-scenes portrait of the troubled Bush campaign last week was one of repeated misjudgments and miscalculations. Bush should shoulder most of the adverse political consequences, stemming from both faulty staff work and his deep concern with secrecy, which kept politically experienced aides from participating in and learning much about Quayle's background check...
Although the tests on animals revealed no toxic effects, scientists point to possible complications involving the immune system. In a healthy individual, natural CD4 plays a regular role in fighting disease. It is unclear whether a flood of synthetic CD4 will interfere with that process. Another concern was raised by AIDS Researcher William Haseltine, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, at the Fourth International Conference on AIDS in Stockholm last June.

...reward for his service under fire, Bush hoped that President Ford would give him the job dangled as part of Nixon's original wooing process, the vice presidency. But that went to Nelson Rockefeller, and Bush -- ironically, given his denunciation of the People's Republic when he was at the U.N. -- became America's envoy to China...
