...sources close to Bradley tell TIME that their man has been in discussions with New Jersey trial lawyer Ted Wells, a major Democratic fund raiser and former Bradley finance chairman, to plan what a clean-but-effective fund-raising operation might look like. Campaign money is a ticklish subject for Bradley, who was criticized for raising a Goliath-like $12 million before his 1990 Senate race against Christine Todd Whitman, which he just barely won.

If there's anything this overheated issue does not need, it's more touchy-feely rhetoric and posturing from Washington. There are no subjects that we debate more incessantly--and pointlessly--than race relations, unless it's sports and politics. Toss the three together on cable TV in an attempt to grab a big audience of sports-addicted males, and the result can be vacuity on an Olympian scale...
