...what if Dole finally does win it all? What kind of President would he be? Gingrich, of course, has his own view. "I bring clarity and a long-range focus to a broad set of conservative principles Dole has been fighting for his whole life," the Speaker says. Reaching for a military analogy to envision the "partnership" he expects if Dole makes it to the White House, Gingrich fastens onto the relationship between two World War II generals, George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower. "I'm Marshall," says Gingrich. "Not in the sense that I'm the one who doesn...

Later, Gingrich sought to downplay the incident as just one of many factors blocking consensus. But TIME's Viveca Novak notes the Speaker's recent outbursts...
Responding to a rough letter from Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich, President Clinton wrote Tuesday: "There will be no peace without America's engagement. If we turn our backs on this responsibility the damage to America's ability to lead, not just in NATO but in pursuit around the world of our interests in peace and prosperity, would be profound." He added: "If the negotiations fail and the war resumes, as it in all probability would, there is a very real risk that it could spread beyond Bosnia, and involve Europe's new democracies as well as our NATO allies...
