"Everyone expected this contest to be played out in November when the more moderate Republicans, like Nancy Kassebaum and Mark Hatfield, who are not seeking reelection would have left." Two other Senator might be candidates for the position. Senator Don Nickles of Oklahoma, who might forego the opportunity to be majority leader and seek the position of majority whip and Senator Pete Domenici of New Mexico, a longtime friend of Bob Dole.

His departure announcement was full of self-pity, and as he disembarked from the plane at his second retreat in St. Louis, Missouri, he was reading an open Bible. Unfortunately, there's no place for citizens to seek "physical and spiritual renewal." We're stuck here with the mayor's memorable words to those who didn't vote for him in 1994: "Get over it." We're trying. If only there were a 12-step program...
