...Gulfport, Miss. Jim Vandenberg, manager of the Catfish Shak restaurant, pours the last quart of pickle relish into the industrial-size tub of tartar sauce for the catfish later that morning in Biloxi. The Bush campaign originally wanted a crayfish boil, but wiser heads counseled that crayfish are a Louisiana dish; catfish are regarded as Mississippian...
...explorer and soldier in the legendary tradition of Sir Richard Burton and T.E. Lawrence are recorded in his books Arabian Sands (1959), The Marsh Arabs (1964) and The Last Nomad (1980).

There is an unmistakable I-told-you-so relish to his voice as he belittles Reagan's foreign policy mistakes. His contempt for George Bush is genuine. Haig's most important effect on the 1988 campaign may come from his search- and-destroy missions against Bush during the debates. Even if Haig's barbs don't cost Bush the nomination, they will serve as ammunition for a Democratic challenger in the fall...
