...past six months, tall, white-haired Republican Congressman John Anderson of Illinois has spent much of his time careering around his home state in a battered, red Pontiac station wagon. His mission: to discover whether he had enough support to enter the presidential race. Last week his hopeful answer appeared inevitable when his wife Keke bought him a new, dark blue suit. Proudly wearing it, Anderson, 57, the chairman of the House Republican Conference and thus third-ranking member in the leadership, became the seventh G.O.P. candidate.* Said the ten-term Congressman: "I have been in the leadership...

They are disunited among themselves, and were unable even to settle on common support for the European parliamentary election. The French and Italian parties are wracked by internal struggles that have halted or even reversed their vaunted process of "democratization." And both appear mired in a quandary about what to do next; the two big parties' troubles have left the smaller Spanish party somewhat isolated...
