I heard a rumor that Falwell is considering running for
President in 1986. Any confermations, or is this just rumor?
The question then posed is: Do I want my foreign policy decided
by someone who expects Armeggedon in another 15 years?
Very Worried,

It seems that if Robertson runs, he plans to run as a Republican. The paper quoted some unnamed Republican politician to the effect that now his party can have the 1984 Democratic race in reverse, with Howard Baker playing Walter Mondale, Jack Kemp playing Gary Hart, and Pat Robertson playing Jesse Jackson. That gets deeper the longer you look at it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "That we have made a hero of Howard Hughes tells us ... that the secret point of money and power in America is neither the things that money can buy nor power for power's sake ..., but absolute personal freedom, mobility, privacy." -- Joan Didion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Bennet @ U of MD Comp Sci Dept | ..!ihnp4!seismo!umcp-cs!gymble!bennet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They might do better in a year with an election, like 1988, but even then I wouldn't give them a very good chance. Scott McEwan {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!mcewan "Analysis, Spock?" "Very bad poetry, sir."
