All Hands On Board!

By Janice Castro

Now that Jim Baker has done the right thing, some familiar figures are falling into place in PRESIDENT BUSH'S campaign. Among them are attack-adman Roger Ailes, who will soon take over "special projects," and Craig Fuller, who is expected to reprise his 1988 role as chief of operations. Most urgent, though, Robert Mosbacher has agreed to return to his old job as chief G.O.P. fund raiser. Funds are running perilously low. With just nine weeks left until Election Day, the party's Victory '92 operation, targeted to raise $46 million for state party needs, advertising and get-out-the-vote activities, has pulled in only $5 million. The Presidential Trust Fund, which supports daily campaign operations, is only $2 million toward its $10 million goal. When Baker looked at the numbers last week, he called Mosbacher. "Bobber," said Baker, "remember how you said that if I went back to the White House, you would do anything I asked? Well, anything is here."
