...cause was aided by the timely deep-sixing of his mainstream rivals, Lamar Alexander and Richard Lugar, who graciously endorsed Dole last week as they departed the scene. Steve Forbes too was disappearing, only more slowly and clumsily. The Dole campaign's brush with Forbes still staggers Reed. "They very nearly got us," he marvels of the Forbes camp. "They came very close." As for Pat Buchanan, he was, if anything, growing more belligerent as he grew less threatening. "We're going to fight until hell freezes over," he vowed last week, "and then we're going to fight...
...film--which has not much at all to do with Fargo, North Dakota--is about the difficulty real folks have pulling off crimes that always go smoothly in fiction. Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) needs a lot of cash, so he hires two thugs (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife for the ransom money. But these guys aren't smooth criminals; they go nuts trying to put on a galosh or scrape the ice off their windshield. Two incompetent murders later, police chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) commences her investigation. And the bad guys get the frozen...
...MONTHS I WATCHED THE EVER changing definition of "negativity" in the primary coverage. First there was hand wringing over negative ads by Steve Forbes.

Well, for one thing, when tassel-loafered ad buyers climb the gangway of the Highlander, the Forbes Inc. yacht, they will probably think they're hobnobbing not with the shy, bespectacled son of a legendary hot-air-balloon-flying publisher but with a once and perhaps future presidential candidate. Forbes made the Oedipal analogy himself last week when he said, with a smile, that if he won the Connecticut primary, "I wouldn...
...poor contender Pat Buchanan "a commentator, not a candidate," and dismissed Buchanan's accusations that Dole has no new ideas. Buchanan Thursday kept speculation alive that he might start a third-party movement if the Republican party takes a "sharp turn to the left." Dole had kinder words for Steve Forbes, whom he said brought a useful message to the campaign in his flat tax proposal. Forbes withdrew from the race after a dismal performance on Super Tuesday, endorsing Dole and offering to help his campaign any way he could. Campaigning Friday in Columbus, Dole highlighted developing Republican unity...
