■ Buchanan campaign manager Bay Buchanan calls Ted Koppel “two-faced, anti-Catholic bigot” for report on Buchanan’s family background which the campaign interpreted as an attack on his father and his faith. Koppel erroneously reported that Buchanan pére had been regular listener to Father Coughlin’s radio broadcasts. . . . David Duke takes credit for Buchanan’s Louisiana win: “I helped him win the caucuses here in Louisiana. I think that gave him a lot of momentum. [But] I guess he figures it’s best not to be associated with me directly.” After Buchanan rejected more unwanted support—from Russian ultra-nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky—Zhirinovsky accused him of behaving “like Clinton and other corrupt politicians.” . . . Former New York Mayor Ed Koch compares Buchanan to Hitler: “He doesn’t have the bully boys yet of 1922. What he’s doing is appealing to those deep-rooted, horrible sentiments that exist in so many people in every country in the world.” Bill Bennett, who is national chairman of Lamar Alexander’s campaign, and Bill Kristol said they could not support Buchanan if he won the nomination. . . . Meanwhile, Buchanan campaign begins to conduct stringent background checks on new campaign staff to avoid taking on anyone with embarrassing backgrounds. . . . Buchanan on the former South Carolina governor who helped push Dole over the top: “Carroll Campbell is a very popular governor and he deserves every penny of that $ 1 million he’s getting as a lobbyist up in Washington, D.C.” . . . After comic Joan Rivers, a Steve Forbes volunteer and long-time friend, called Buchanan “anti-Semitic, antiblack, [and] anti-gay” on Phoenix radio station she was pulled from campaigning. . . . Republican strategist Mary Matalin, on the party’s reaction to Buchanan: “The name-calling is bad. The name-calling is wrong. The name-calling is the game the liberals play.” . . . The Los Angeles Times finds a letter from Steve Forbes to Lamar Alexander in 1985 praising Alexander as “one of those rare individuals who knows how to get things done, even if they’re out of the ordinary.” Despite nothing better than third-place finishes Alexander continued to pull in $100,000 to $200,000 a day in contributions. Said fundraiser Mel Sembler: “We have the candidate, and we have the money. Now all we need is some delegates.” . . . Alan Keyes, excluded from South Carolina debate, began a hunger strike in protest. Excluded from Georgia debate, he was arrested for trying to break into the TV studio. Keyes says of National Right to Life Committee’s suggestion that he’s not a major contender: “That’s a code word for ‘He’s black and can’t win.’ ” . . . National Right to Life PAC runs ads in South Carolina newspapers concluding “Say YES to Life. Say NO to Alexander and Forbes.”
