The centerpiece of Coats' proposal is a $500-per-person tax credit for donations to charitable organizations that fight poverty.

"A presidential candidate who can speak on these issues in a compelling, morally serious way will have a powerful tool in the 1996 election...
...that end, Coats has taken Dole aside and offered him some tender-hearted advice: Reminisce about the old days in Russell, Kansas.

Nonetheless, says Bradley, "what I'm doing is not about candidacy. The book is something I had to do for my soul." That may be all it's good for, notes TIME's John Elson. "Bradley writes about his Senate colleagues so blandly that even North Carolina's Jesse Helms, a bitter ideological foe, gets praised for being 'courtly.'"
