Dole's public demeanor is so folksy that it is jarring to hear him privately revert to his more acerbic Washington self. "People out there know I'm working," Dole snaps when asked if his Senate duties detract from his campaign. "They know Bush doesn't have to." Tired, Dole lets his affability slip. "Bush hasn't said word one since the market crashed," he says angrily. "He has nothing to worry about; he can just go out on Air Force Two, using dozens of federal employees, at a cost of millions . . ." Dole's voice trails off, his flare...

Public, media and congressional pressures together with the Tower Panel's scrutiny make it all but certain the NSC staff will have no alternative but to revert to its more traditional limited function. Hiring individuals for the staff who understand and accept this is obviously central. Legislating formal, explicit constraints should be avoided. Just as hard cases tend to make bad law, so specific abuses of public trust ought not necessarily prompt reactions either draconian or permanent...
