Those southern boys sure do have the gift of gab. Every time GEORGE BUSH turns around, Bill Clinton or Ross Perot is chatting amiably with Arsenio, Larry King or some other TV talk-show host, and it's driving him crazy.

Perot takes great umbrage when anyone tries to get him to explain how he would attack it. Does he favor higher taxes? No . . . Well, yes . . . Well, maybe.
