Then one day I put into print a glaring error about Perot. I was holding forth on one of the more devastating imbecilities of the Reagan era, the abolition of the progressive income tax in favor of a two-tier flat tax rate.

That is the metaphysical quest that guides this right-wing crusader. Though he claims he has not yet thought about seeking the presidency in 1996, this year's campaign has thrust him into the top tier of contenders, along with Dan Quayle, Jack Kemp and Texas Senator Phil Gramm.

With the cold war over, the G.O.P. is awakening to the fact that the new world order may threaten the quarter- century Republican domination of the White House...
