2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 13, 1996 NATION/WORLD IOWA Continued from Page 1 stronghold, the state where he got 37 percent to spark his 1992 primary run against President Bush. But Dole vowed not to stumble there this time as he did after Iowa got him off to a winning start in 1988. Alexander said the results proved Dole a fragile front- runner and while congratulating Buchanan, he said the former White House adviser's protectionist trade views were "dead wrong." He said Iowa had winnowed the GOP contest to a three-man battle, as if Forbes did not exist, and that he was the candidate with the best shot of beating Clinton. "Thank you Iowa, on to New Hampshire - let the future begin!" Alexander said. Forbes said he was hardly through, insisting fourth place was "a good springboard into New Hampshire." But just two weeks ago, Forbes was threatening Dole for the lead, riding the crest ofa$4million TV ad budget that shattered all records in the state. Gramm aides considered pulling resources from New Hampshire and saving them for South Carolina and the Southern states to follow. The Iowa voting took place in 2,142 precinct caucuses and closed a nearly year-long campaign in the state. It appeared that turnout would fall short of 100,000, below the 1988 total and way below the record 130,000 pre- dicted by state Republican leaders. . Among caucus-goers, Buchanan was the clear choice of those who described themselves as very conservative ormembers ofthe religious right. In an entrance poll, one fifth of the caucus-goers said they settled on their choice in the last three days; of those, Alexander and Buchanan were the clear beneficiaries. Dole was the overwhelming choice of Iowa's elderly voters, and caucus-goers said Dole' age - he is 72 - would make no difference in his ability to be president. Iowans were split on the flat tax, Forbes' premiere issue, over the existing system - and even the flat-taxers preferred Dole and Buchanan to the millionaire pub- lisher. The caucuses were the first of three steps in allocating Iowa's 25 delegates to the Republican National Conven- tion. An AP analysis of the straw poll results showed a mixed bag- Dole's support was likely to translate into YNATI ONALS wREPORT n Pres. set to give Greenspan 3rd term WASH INGTON - Alan Greenspan has been whispering economic advice into the ears of Republican presidents going back to Nixon, but that doesn't mean he can't be Bill Clinton's man. Indeed, the Democratic president appears set to nominate Greenspan fora third four-year term as Federal Reserve chairman in large part because of his Repub- lican credentials. The White House insisted yesterday that the president had received no reco,- mendations yet from his National Economic Council, but administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there were no other candidates. Some officials had expected the Greenspan appointment last week. But they said the announcement was delayed because of trouble filling two other vacancies on the seven-member Fed board. The president had been expected to nominate New York investment banker Felix Rohatyn as vice chairman of the Fed to replace Alan Blinder, who resigned last month to return to Harvard. But Rohatyn's proposed nomination appeared in trouble yesterday, with Sen. Connie Mack (R-Fla.), a member of the Banking Committee and chairman of e Joint Economic Committee, leading a charge to derail it. Sen. Phil Gramm speaks with the media yesterday after appearing on a live radio program at Who Radio In Des Moines, Iowa. eight delegates, compared to six for Buchanan, five for Alexander, three for Forbes, two for Gramm and one for Keyes. After New Hampshire comes a five-week march through 30 states, with 70 percent of the GOP conven- tion delegates to be chosen by the time California holds its March 26 primary. That breakneck pace puts a premium on momemtum and money. Buchanan and Alexander said they were funded at least through New Hampshire and would immediately scramble to replen- ish their campaign accounts. Dole aides conceded the race was too close for com- fort, but predicted Dole would march to the nomination. "The bottom line for Republicans is winning back the White House and when they look at this field, Bob Dole is clearly the one," said Dole spokesperson Nelson Warfield. For Buchanan, Iowa was a sweet surprise. Just a week ago he had modest goals here, but used his upset of Gramm in last week's Louisiana caucuses to make the case to social conservatives that he was a stronger candidate than Gramm-against both Dole and Clinton. FDA clears sale of baldness drug WASHINGTON - Balding Americans will be able to buy the hair-growth drug Rogaine by spring without seeing a doctor first. The Food and Drug Administra- tion decided yesterday that Rogaine can be sold in drugstores alongside shampoos and hair colorings, making it the only medically proven drug to fight baldness available without a pre- scription. But while the move means people can buy a little hope against hair loss for about $30 a month, the FDA warned that not everybody should. Some 40 million men and 20 mil- lion women suffer hair loss, most the hereditary form commonly known as male pattern balding. This is the only hair loss helped by Rogaine, which has been sold by prescription since 1988. Even for those people, however, Rogaine doesn't always work, said FDA spokesperson Ivy Kupec. It helps about 25 percent of men and 20 percent of women to very gradually grow back moderate amounts of hair, mostly on the very top of the head. They must keep using Rogaine in- definitely to keep the new hair. Dentists say new eye muscle found WASHINGTON - Two dentists in Baltimore believe they have founda"pre- viously undescribed" structure of human anatomy - a muscle about 1 1/2 inches long that runs from behind the eye socket to the inside ofthe jawbone. It appears to assist in chewing. The anatomists have found it in everybody in who they've looked. "We kept saying this can't undescribed - it's too large," said Hack, who teaches at the dental school at the University of Maryland at Baltimore. "Plus we said, We're dentists, not anato- mists. Let's go back to the (anatomical) literature and try to find it." So far, however, neither Hack nor Gwendolyn Dunn, a colleague at the den- tal school, has found any mention of the muscle in anatomy books. I CAUCUS Continued from Page 1 And it's all an accident. In 1972, Democrats started the cau- cuses as part of nominating process reforms in the wake of the chaotic 1968 Chicago convention. Anti-war activists that year gave George McGovern a slightly better showing than expected. Not many people noticed, except Jimmy Carter. The obscure Georgia governor used the caucuses the next time around to get an early win in the Democratic contest, and the momentum that pro- pelled an unknown to the nomination. The pattern was set, and has just grown stronger. These days, TV cameras from New York and Japan crowd into some of the 2,142 caucuses along with the voters. Attendance ranges from just a handful to several hundred at each gathering. "Everyone mills around for a while while they check your names," said Jeanne Samame of Des Moines. "Then you take the vote, and then you divide into your groups of supporters and talk about what your platform is." The vote is secret, written on a piece of paper. In some places, though, crowds of reporters watch as voters write, then rush out to report the re- sults of what is essentially a non- binding straw poll. Many voters go home at that point. But others linger on to finish the party's business. They elect precinct- level delegates to go on to county meetings. There, congressional dis- trict meetings are set, and there, the state convention members, picked. Only at the state meeting this sum- mer will delegates to the national nominating convention in San Diego be picked. Which means that last night was really "kind of a scientific straw poll, a physical poll," said Darrell Kearney, Iowa chairman for Sen. Bob Dole (R- Kan.). Still, Kearney said, "a win is a win. In my book, when you get more votes than the next guy, it's a win." he h~ ,. '.v - , 4.. W'Dw .-- -. Israel to increase pre-election security JERUSALEM -Fearful that a ter- rorist attack inside Israel might hand upcoming elections to the opposi- tion, the Labor-led government stepped up security measures yester- day in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel's Army banned the 2 million Palestinian residents of the territo- ries from entering Israel "for an in- definite period." A military spokes- person said the order was issued for security reasons. The closure expanded an order is- sued yesterday morning ordering Pal- estinian residents of the West Bank town of Ramallah to stay inside the city limits and ordering Israelis to stay away from the town. Israel Television said that the in- telligence services had reports of a plan by militants in Gaza to carry out a car bomb attack in central Israel, timed to coincide with the Feb. 19 end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, and the end tomorrow of 40 days of mourning for Yehyia Ayyash, the Islamic militant who was killed when a booby-trapped cellular phone exploded in his hands. Clinton, aid among Noble peace prize. nominees OSLO, Norway -President Clinton and his peace emissary for Bosnia, Ri- chard Holbrooke, are among 103 people and organizations so far nominated for this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Imprisoned Chinese dissident and human rights activist Wei Jingsheng received multiple nominations. In keeping with the pi4 committee's tradition of secrecy, the non-voting secretary, Geir Lundestad, refused comment yesterday on the names of candidates. He would say only that 82 individu- als and 21 organizations had been nominated as of yesterday, but pro- posals postmarked by the Jan. 31 nomination deadline were continuing to arrive in Oslo and still could be included. - From Daily wire services A 0 1 A hegggj The St. Paul Companies is one of the nation's largest and most respected insurance and financial services firms.
