...Dole may be forced to choose between yielding some speaking time at the Republican National Convention to Pat Buchanan or watching Buchanan bolt the party to run at the top of an independent ticket. At least that's what Buchanan would have him believe. Three weeks ago, conservative organizer Howard Phillips courted Buchanan during a four-hour dinner to join his U.S. Taxpayers Party, and Buchanan seemed only slightly interested. But Buchanan aides are giving that option a much closer look since Dole began watering down the G.O.P.'s antiabortion plank. Phillips tells TIME he was contacted last week...
Dmitry Valery Podkopaev--known as "Dima" to his friends--was born in a small village in the Ukraine called Vinnitsa. His family was poor; he was raised in a house with no electricity. Academics were his ticket out of poverty.

At the top of the ticket are two politicians moving to the middle who will try to depict the Other Guy as a closet extremist. Such is the situation in many states, including New Jersey, where Democratic Representative Bob Torricelli is trying to tar Representative Dick Zimmer with the Gingrich brush while Zimmer is dismissing Torricelli...
...this writing, the going rate for those tickets is $80 each. Selling just one ticket could pay for a whole week of activities; it's tempting to tell your little brother to watch the morning exercises on the simulcast in Sanders Theatre. This market effectively sends the message, "The more Commencement means to you, the more you pay." Unfortunately, how much Commencement means to you might not be directly proportional to your means...
