...Florida retreat. It was there he resolved that he needed to shake things up dramatically, perhaps make a clean break with the Senate. When he returned to Washington, he discussed in a vague way the pros and cons of such a move with campaign chief Scott Reed. Then on April 23, the day of a desultory telephone conference call to the G.O.P.'s "Team 100" fund raisers, Dole sat in the sun outside his office with novelist and Wall Street Journal contributor Mark Helprin, whose writings on Dole had made an impression on the Senator. Helprin broached the idea...

He's also one of six top aides profiled in Birnbaum's book Madhouse: The Private Turmoil of Working for the President, published this week by Times Books. As Birnbaum reports in this issue of TIME, Sperling and Bruce Reed (also profiled in his book), have been tying Bob Dole's campaign in knots by instantly counterpunching his every initiative. Birnbaum was one of the first to realize how high campaign counterattack was on the Clinton agenda. "The White House is always a madhouse," he says. "But when Sperling cleans...
