Forbes also became a noisy promoter of building a $300 million radio transmitter in Israel's Negev Desert. Warren Rudman, a budget hawk and former chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee that oversaw Forbes' agency (and a Dole supporter), praises Forbes as "full of energy," but adds that "the Negev project was just a total failure, because Democrats and Republicans alike could see that there was no need for it. But Forbes just had no hesitancy in asking for huge amounts of money it would have cost. It was fairly typical behavior for a Washington insider fighting for his project...
...status for their change of heart. "He's not looking over his shoulder at what somebody thinks about him," says Richard Riley, a retired geologist in Columbus, Ohio, and former Dole supporter.

"I asked them to move their forces away from that little island and find a diplomatic solution," Clinton told reporters. For now, they have. Says TIME's Mark Thompson: "I think they got in trouble and were looking for someone...
...campaign insiders--even the speechwriters and the imagemakers--could boast the writing talent to pull off a work of fiction that is the best aide's-eye view of politics since Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men, published in 1946. Narrated in the voice of Stephanopoulos-clone Henry Burton (a tip of the hat to Warren's Jack Burden?), the novel captures with eerie precision the psychological bonds between the Clintonesque candidate (hyperambitious Southern Governor Jack Stanton) and his most indispensable adviser. Here is Burton, who is portrayed as the grandson of a Martin Luther King-like...
