Show Page A2 THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, 18, 1992 Tuesday, August CRACKS: Poaplo Newton files for bankruptcy By The Associated Press RENO, Nev. Wayne Newton, one of the biggest acts on the Vegas Strip, has filed for bankruptcy protection over debts his lawyer put at $20 million. The lawyer, Gerald Gordon, said Monday that the singer's assets haven't been appraised yet. They include his Arabian horse ranch, his mansion on the outskirts of Las Vegas and a Lake Tahoe property. Newton makes millions as a headliner in Las Vegas, but some such as those in Indian gambling parlors of his investments have run into trouble. In February, the Internal Revenue Service dunned him for $34 1,000 in back taxes. GOP: (Continued from Page Al) (Continued from Page Al) Republicans did not ignore though, of course, they did not broadcast it was that the party was never able to duplicate its presidential success on other political levels. It's been a while since Republican leader bragged about an impending "realignment," which would make theirs the majority party in Congress and in the state houses and county seats. It didn't happen. There was a party "dealignment," as many people abandoned their commitment to either party, or even to voting. This was a small net gain for the GOP because more abandoned the Democrats. But away from the White House, more U.S. officeholders are Democrats than Republicans, a situation that seems unlikely to The president interrupted work on his acceptance speech today to attend a karate exhibition as part of a school "kick-drugprogram. He declared his convention "off to a pretty good start." Party chairman Rich Bond was more effusive: "We started out on a roll." But with Bush trailing in the polls and yet to define a second-teragenda, there was more work to be done. "What we need now is a good cavalry charge and that's what we've got to begin at this convention," said Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas, who promised that tonight's keynote address would take apart Clinton's economic plan. "We've got to pull out our sabers, spur our horses and head out for the wagon train hoping we get there on time. I believe we're going to." Democrats wasted no time responding to the barrage of attacks. Clinton tolvy mocked the GOP's opening night message, saying it added up to: '"We will discover sort America in our fourth term' of a Columbus theory of politics. 'We had to do all this other stuff, but give us a fourth term and we'll discover America.'" And Democrats also unveiled two new television ads suggesting the Republicans weren't worth believing, both ending with the refrain, "Those are the facts, back to the show." The ads, to air beginning today in Houston and Washington during the convention, contrasted the economic records of Bush and Clinton, reminding voters of Bush's broken "no new taxes" promise and the anemic job growth during his presidency. Bush arrived Monday for his second coronation as Republican standard-beare- r and immediately the chorus. joined At a welcoming rally, he rebuked the Democratic leadership as the "sultans of the status quo." In the cavernous Astrodome, the delegates' refrain was "Clean the House" as Ronald Reagan sought to rally conservatives to Bush's side and convince voters the change they need is on Capitol Hill not at the White House. Chants of "Four More Years" were designed to reinforce that point. "We cannot afford to take a chance" on Clinton, Reagan said in his convention return. It was a folksy, vintage Reagan speech in which he endorsed his former vice president "warmly, genuinely, wholeheartedly." Republicans previewed fall campaign lines aimed at reversing lead in the Clinton's double-digpolls. They portrayed Bush as an unparalleled world leader now ready to turn his energy homeward and the Democratic nominee as a poor governor, closet liberal and Vietnam draft evader. "Where was Bill?" the delegates bellowed when conservative Patrick Buchanan recalled Bush's World War II service.

This is more than an ideological split. The mainstream itself includes moderates and conservatives who disagree about taxes, the budget deficit and other issues. But these are political disagreements, the kind that can be compromised, split down the middle or papered over. The deeper Republican split is cultural and moral, be- -' tween people who are convinced that they possess absolute truth about the nature of life and those who are not. The latter comprise the majority, in both the party and the country, but they often allow the minory affairs. ity to dominate "The hard core conservative faction was never really the majority," said Paul Green, a political scientist at Governors State University in University Park., 111. "But they've been the best organized and the most aggressive faction, and they've all but held the rest of the party hostage. ' ' That captivity was most apparent in the dispute over the platform plank on abortion, which was more restrictive even than Bush's position. But it was also without evident, dispute, in the decision to grant a visible spot on the podium to Pat Robertson, whose new book alleges that the Gulf War was part of a Satanist plot. "They looked at the polls and saw that they only votes they were getting were from Evangelical Christians, so they decided to placate them even more by kowtowing to a guy who's wacky about the president's greatest accomplishment," said one Republican strategist, himself a conservative. The decision to accommodate Robertson was tactical. Political parties always make tactical decisions, but the Republicans these days seem to make nothing else, perhaps because the party is dominated by tacticians more than any American political party ever has been. intra-part- anti-aborti- s" m ss it Eyre makes the most of convention opportunities team wouldn't be a Triple-bad thing to have happen in Utah, but I think this is a pure, unadulterated media gimmick on Richard's part."

While Eyre is a delegate to the convention and he's attending all of the caucus meetings, official sessions, parties and receptions, the Salt Lake City Republican is also trying to drum up a little business for Utah and get better acquainted with some of the top GOP officials.

"That's change all right," Buchanan said. "But it is not the kind of change America wants. It is not the kind of change America needs." The morning after his harsh words, Buchanan praised Clinton as "a tough customer; he takes a beating and he comes back." And he said, in an interview on ABC-Tthat Clinton "is making a real reach for those Reagan Democrats ing night's proceedings. "I don't care what my critics say," Quayle said.

'See, they are hitting me,'" a diplomat said. "Look, the street respects the guy. Some (Arab) government people do, too. He's a survivor," he said. "People are scratching their heads and wondering, 'How can we knock him down?' Arabs have always respected strength." Although still angry at Saddam for his adventurism two years ago in Kuwait, many Arabs are similarly angry about the continued U.N. sanctions against Baghdad. As they see it, the Iraqi masses, not Saddam and his ruling Tikriti clan, are being forced to suffer under the sanctions because Bush has been so far unable to find a formula to overthrow Saddam. iMIOVfllOVfl MO03-071-7 The Daily Herald a member of the Associated Press, and ' the Audit Bureau ot Circulation Copyright: Scripps League Newspapers, inc., 1992 " |
