Deaver's prosecutor, Whitney North Seymour Jr., also refused the parallel appointment. Noting that last week's decision had invalidated the court appointment that is Seymour's sole source of authority, Deaver's lawyers quickly filed a motion to vacate the jury verdict and throw out the charges against their client, who faces a possible 15-year prison sentence.

Trailing far behind Bush and Dole in name recognition, money, organization, poll support and credibility, these "flanking" candidates have little chance unless one of them becomes the sole darling of the G.O.P.'s right wing. Du Pont, a onetime moderate who is now a born-again right-winger, got a boost in this direction last week from the endorsement of the conservative Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader...
