Dole's reconfiguration of that task began about four weeks ago while he was refurbishing his tan at his Florida retreat. It was there he resolved that he needed to shake things up dramatically, perhaps make a clean break with the Senate. When he returned to Washington, he discussed in a vague way the pros and cons of such a move with campaign chief Scott Reed. Then on April 23, the day of a desultory telephone conference call to the G.O.P.'s "Team 100" fund raisers, Dole sat in the sun outside his office with novelist and Wall Street Journal...
