...could call him the John Sununu of Poland. He's a college dropout and part- time taxi driver who followed LECH WALESA out of the Gdansk shipyards to become his personal bodyguard and chauffeur. Today MIECZYSLAW WACHOWSKI is sitting pretty in Warsaw's Belvedere Palace running the President's private office. He apparently sees himself at the center of Walesa's inner circle of advisers, but his colleagues regard him as boorish, arrogant and power hungry.

The last thing they want is for abortion to become the campaign issue that tears the electorate apart; they've got enough trouble with the economy. Most observers believe the court will wait, but even if reconsidering Roe is put off until 1993, Bush will...
...February 1990, California Republicans were feeling so scorned and abused that Bush set out to repair the rift. That spring, Sununu and the late Lee Atwater mended fences with several dozen big-dollar fund raisers at the Orange County home of developer Donald Bren. More recently, Wilson invited Sununu to Sacramento for his swearing...
