"He phones his Spetsnaz contact and asks for four or five guys. They take time off from their units and stand behind the boss, fully armed, while he talks to his rival. The other side sees they are serious kids and is impressed." For a couple of hours' work, they make $200 each, Alexei says. If there is any shooting, their fee goes up to $500.

And Bush is just getting started. On Friday, a top adviser confidently told TIME that the campaign's new fund-raising goal is $70 million by January...
...depletes his money fighting a pesky primary opponent and then gasps his way through a long, hot summer. If Bush wins the nomination while hoarding his money, he'll be in a position to do to Gore or Bradley what Clinton did to Dole--pin his cash-poor rival to the ground with a steady barrage of attack...
