ABSTRACT

Reports that Republican Party (GOP) insiders say participants in focus groups after President George Bush's acceptance speech in Houston, Texas rated attacks on lawyers as his most compelling issue. If Bush is re-elected, despite his no-new-taxes pledge, the White House may float a plan to slap a fee or excise tax on punitive-damage awards. Consequences if Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton wins the election; Citizens for Civil Justice Reform.
