Show Sunday, April 2, Special Correspondent - WASHINGTON In the e cdnpaign for Repub lican endorsements for the White House. Sen. Bob Dole is the Landslide leader. The last challenger with so many preseason hackers was Edmund S. big-nam- Muskie. The political history Lesson is that endorsements can help, but they don't win. When Muskie slumped from Democratic in to also-ra- n 1972, his early allies couldn't do a thing for him. Dole knows that record. He's seen 35 years of national campaigns, is running in his fourth, three for presidential nominations, one as nominee. What really counts comes after the endorsement show, when it's time to follow up public support with organizational backing, networking frsnit-runn- er ial a&d fund-raisin- g help. Doie. the Senate majority leader, is the favorite in the polls, the man with the contacts, the former party chairman, the figure in the growing GOP field. He's collecting endorsements one after another as he nears the ceremonial sendoff of his third bid for the Republican presidential nomination on April 10, when he announces in Topeka, Kan., what everyone already knows. He wants to challenge President Clinton in : best-know- n 19. Sen. Phil Gramm has his share of endorsements, collected even earlier, three senators and two governors among them so far. The others in the field will have their allies, too. For example, former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander may well get a boost from Michigan DEAR FINDERS: I wish to locate a beautiful lady I met last in 1971. It was a very chance meeting at the home of a friend's relative. Gov. John Engler. Gov. Pete Wilson of California is trying to line up colleagues like Gov. William Weld of Massachusetts and Gov. Christine Whitman of New Jersey to help him. But there's a certain skepticism about the value of all those names, even from one of them, Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, latest party figure to declare his support for Dole. "My view of endorsements is that they are of marginal value," Gregg said in an interview. In New Hampshire, where the opening presidential primary will be held next Feb. 20, Gregg said voters- want to see and hear candidates before choosing one. and support is M Findet 8 Suits 272 816 Auto !(!!

One romantic evening while dancing, she hesitantly asked me if I were a married man. This woman had become so special to me that I couldn't bring myself to mislead her even to hold on to her. I never saw or heard from her again. My wife and I separated almost immediately and then divorced. I have shared in two very special and relationships since my divorce but never remained. Diane has always held a special place in my thoughts and, I guess. I'd like to thank her for all those fond memories. Should she desire contacting me, I'd love to hear from her.

One scene remains especially strong in my memory. The brash young brother of the girl being pursued by a rich man is in the suitor's home, and he encounters a butler. He asks the butler, "What do you or so." he said. Those notices will be faded clippings when the primary voting begins next winter.
