...Told Re "10 Questions for Bob Dole" [Jan. 26]: At the end of the interview, the retired Senate majority leader said he might write a book, and he added, "I probably won't run for anything again, so I can tell the truth now." He put his finger on just the thing that is turning off American voters. You can't believe anything a politician says, especially those running for higher office.

Graham is infuriated by Bush's refusal to release 21 pages of the Senate's investigation into the 9/11 attacks-allegedly the section dealing with Saudi involvement-and by the Administration's reluctance to cooperate with...
...comes to his own party, Latham does not travel with the baggage of being an insider or power broker - or as a front for other interests. How much will the party be prepared to bend to Latham's command? That will depend - as it did for Whitlam and Bob Hawke - on how quickly Latham can pull in the voters. There isn't a great deal of time for Labor. It has squandered the past two years, perhaps five. Howard has gained stature through his political mastery and his handling of national security and the economy. He senses a fight...
