...convention-spurred bounce that puts the Dole ticket only 10 or 12 points behind Clinton's campaign. But President Clinton will get his chance to widen that lead when the Democratic convention begins in Chicago August 26. Some of the campaign battle lines are already manifest in the nationwide thrust-parry-counterthrust of TV campaign commercials. A new Clinton ad timed for the end of the Republican convention says Dole would cut Medicare by $270 million, and let toxic polluters "off the hook."

Unfortunately, the essential Dole--a candidate too often disengaged even from his own policy prescriptions--re-emerged at an unscripted education forum outside Detroit. At one point, Dole missed a questioner's thrust entirely but smiled goofily as Michigan Governor John Engler preposterously declared Dole's response "right on."

His famous remark about seeking in nature "the cylinder...
