...forced Bush to flee never-never land on the tax issue. That, along with the soaring costs of the S&L scandal and other problems, is beginning to eat into Bush's standing in the polls and will echo over the next two years. Says Ed Rollins, a Republican strategist: "Whether we or the Democrats like it or not, politics has moved into the '92 presidential cycle...
...have come -- or fallen. The struggle over Robert Bork turned court nominations into a savage political battleground. "Every faction wants its own little government in the court," sighed one White House strategist last week. The Democratic Congress, so long denied Executive power, and the Republican White House, so long thwarted in Legislative matters, both seek the balance of power through the Supreme Court. Washington has 55,000 lawyers, 7,000 lobbyists, 20,000 congressional staff members and some 10,000 journalists. Most of them are self-appointed experts on the court.

Andrew's only connection is that he served as an attorney for a group of shareholders trying to take over a struggling...
Already this year three managers have been asked to seek challenges elsewhere in the private sector. And just last Friday master strategist Whitey Herzog suddenly quit after eleven years as skipper of the St. Louis Cardinals. Earlier in the season Davey Johnson, who led the New York Mets to a World Championship in 1986, was terminated despite a career winning percentage of .593. Bucky Dent was the latest casualty of the mercurial reign of New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who must believe that God loves Yankee managers since he made so many of them. And in Atlanta's answer...
