...pull as many all-nighters as Republican front runner George W. Bush. Trump does know the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia, but some of his writing reminds one a bit of the hawkish general played by George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove. "I would let Pyongyang know in no uncertain terms that it can either get out of the nuclear arms race or expect a rebuke similar to the one Ronald Reagan delivered to Muammar Gaddafi in 1986," he wrote two weeks ago in the Wall Street Journal. Bombs away! No, he demurs in an interview. He just wants...

After all, Ventura has managed to become the party's leading officeholder while being a free trader--something that puts him at odds with a central tenet of the party's platform. Although the winner remains uncertain, so do the candidates. Beatty is said to favor running for the Democratic nomination; Weicker will decide in the next few weeks, but he told TIME, "There's so much on my agenda"; Perot has stepped back for now, yet no one can predict the moves of the mercurial Texan...
