...last week -- in fact, several things. He replaced unpopular White House chief of staff John Sununu with Transportation Secretary Samuel Skinner, a likable moderate who has emerged as one of the Administration's smoothest troubleshooters. He appointed a trio of pragmatic political strategists -- Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher, pollster Robert Teeter and Republican businessman Fred Malek -- to lead his re-election campaign. Yet before the week ended, two of Bush's advisers publicly disagreed about the wisdom of cutting taxes for the middle class, once again underscoring the divisions within the President's inner circle about how much should be done...

And hard-hitting political adman Roger Ailes, who has been coaching Bush on his TV appearances throughout the gulf crisis, is expected to return as image adviser...
...shock; imports have doubled since then, and last year accounted for more than half the trade deficit. Though last fall's budget deliberations did produce a token 5 cents-per-gal. increase in federal gasoline taxes, the possibility of further levies may have been scuttled when Republican pollster Robert Teeter found that Reagan Democrats were the idea's fiercest opponents...
