...made the pilgrimage to Austin has any doubt: George W. Bush is running for President. And last week he began sharing the news with the public. After months of coy political theater--feigned reticence meant to stoke interest, with allies circulating wholly unnecessary draft-Bush petitions--he finally stood still long enough to announce the formation of a presidential exploratory committee. The 10-member committee was put together with symbolism in mind. By making former Secretary of State George Shultz a committee member, Bush, 52, showed fealty not to his father's Administration but to Ronald Reagan's--a message...

...subject. Why pass up the free money? To compete with STEVE FORBES and his unlimited wallet, say Bush supporters who are quick to recount that the publisher's spending spree nearly crippled BOB DOLE in the last election. And after last week's orchestrated endorsements by fellow Governors--a draft-Bush campaign for a candidate who seems reluctant mostly for show--supporters are boasting that Bush will be able to raise more than the spending caps would allow...
