South primaries loom as Robertson targets South Carolina
As New Hampshire heads to votes, Pat Robertson presses for a South Carolina victory to boost his Southern appeal. Bush leads the region but risks if New Hampshire falters, while Gephardt duels Gore for the South's moderates with Dukakis still in the mix. Dole and Kemp also contend in early southern contests.

Nixon urges Kennedy draft on character strength for 1988 bid
Former President Richard Nixon told the Sunday Times that Edward Kennedy should run for president this year, arguing his character would be his greatest asset. He warned that a recession could help Democrats win, but a nonrecession would favor a charismatic Kennedy or Mario Cuomo. Nixon noted Kennedy’s name value could unite a demoralized party despite Chappaquiddick concerns.
