Dole didn't get everything he asked for, but he got enough. Four days later, last Wednesday, he stood basking in the sun in the White House Rose Garden as praise for his decision to support GATT washed over him in waves.

He has reported that story for TIME and other publications over the past eight years, and in 1990 he published January Sun, a book chronicling a day in the lives of three families in a Transvaal town.
