Gramm's biggest problem in Iowa is Forbes, whose smiling visage and upbeat message of tax cuts and prosperity are an appealing contrast to the scowling Texan. The publishing tycoon is also a one-man Iowa economic boom. He has lavished $1.1 million to spread his message, more than double the combined media expenditures of his rivals. A few weeks ago, neither the Gramm nor Dole camps believed Forbes could turn out significant numbers of supporters at the time-consuming caucuses. Now they are not so sure.

But now Magellan is steered by Jeffrey Vinik, 36, who is managing a fund that is five times the size of the one Lynch left behind. And Vinik is doing boffo, posting...
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IS BOTH THE PRICE America pays [COVER STORIES, Nov. 27] and the benefit Americans derive from our affluence, our size and our strength. Worldwide hunger and poverty, the spread of nuclear weapons and the proliferation of violent conflicts harm us all. Economic development, better education, better control of arms, cooperation among nations and the peaceful resolution of conflicts help Americans enjoy greater prosperity and peace.
