Washington bureau chief Carl P Leubsdorf notes Bob Dole, after clinching the GOP nomination, presents a centrist face influenced by Eisenhower and Nixon. Dole dropped hardline positions on assault weapons and affirmative action, embraces tax cuts with balanced-budget aims, and may align with Jack Kemp’s minority outreach while facing pressure from a conservative House and platform dynamics.
