...than $300,000 a year in salary and pensions, vows he will not quietly leave the union he built and ran for 54 years. He says he bought the weapons for use in strikes. But his critics--most of whom say they are afraid to be quoted by name--tell a different story. They say that Morris, who traces his roots and tactics back to the Molly Maguires, the fierce coal miners who waged violent battles against mineowners in the 1870s, has become increasingly erratic and violent over the past few years.

But even if the other candidates follow suit, offering their own medical, financial and psychological reports for public perusal, will anyone really know who's best suited to be president...
Maybe Steve Forbes had a colonoscopy recently, and perhaps Bill Bradley gave a charitable donation to the World Wildlife Fund in 1978. It's very possible that all the presidential candidates are judged by their family physicians to be in excellent physical and mental health. What does that tell the public? That it's unlikely George W. Bush will keel over during his term? That Al and Tipper Gore are, according to a private analyst, "happily married...
