...JULY 1993, DEPUTY WHITE HOUSE counsel Vincent Foster wrote an anguished lament: "I was not meant for the job or the spotlight of public life in Washington. Here ruining people is considered sport." Nine days later, Foster was dead.

His gimmicky campaign of plaid shirts and long walks has suffered not just from want of attention but also from an abundance of contradictions. He is yet another former Nixon staff member posing as an outsider, a man who boasts about his plans to abolish the Education Department he once headed, a man who rails against insiders but seems to have profited handsomely from being one; a man who complains of mudslinging but was the first in the field to use a negative ad, against Pete Wilson last...
