Washington, Feb 22, 1996 (Press TWRA) - At yesterday Republican
Convention in New Hampshire, ultra-conservative Pat Buchanan won
27 out of 86% counted votes. Bob Dole won 26 and former Tennessee
Governor Lamarr Alexander won 23%. After Phill Gramm (Texas,
close to the ex-president Bush whose associates Scowcroft,
Eagleburger and Scanlon are Gramm's advisers) gave up the
candidacy in Iowa, New Hampshire confirmed the rich publisher S.
Forbes probably will also not be Republican candidate. Although

New Hampshire. Buchanan's chances are decreased by his quarrel
with Jews who consider him anti-semitic. Buchanan  claims "the US
are endangered by the Mossad infiltration whose member is Hillary
Clinton". New Hampshire was important, for all US presidents in
the past 50 years, except Clinton, won that convention. This
