While Lugar stressed that he was "running a positive campaign," he blasted opponents Sen. Robert J. Dole (R-Kan.) and millionaire publisher Malcom S. "Steve" Forbes Jr. for "[polarizing] the electorate" with "deliberate distortions of the truth...
After a long year of gritting his teeth and strumming the pro-life, family-values chords that are supposed to win Republican primaries, Dole now has to watch Steve Forbes, a pro-choice libertarian who favors rhythm and blues and Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy toward gays in the military, become the darling of primary voters in the space of four months.

...there it was: Steve Forbes, blanketing the airwaves in Arizona, beguiling crowds in Iowa three times the size of Dole's, leading by nine points in a poll of New Hampshire voters.

Forbes' Princeton friend Chris Leach recalls the day in 1970 when he borrowed Forbes' brand-new, bright orange Mercury Cougar XR-7 to make a pizza run--and totaled it. When Steve found out, Leach recalls, "he just looked at me and said, 'Uh-huh.' And he called his father, and his father came down from Far Hills, and they were really nice about it. First thing Malcolm asked me if I was O.K., and then he said, 'What the hell...
