- As the election season approaches, senior Republicans are
- worried that White House chief of staff John Sununu is burrowing
- deeper into his bunker, refusing to listen much to anyone except
- budgetmeister Richard Darman and domestic policy chief Roger
- Porter. Longtime Bush confidants are miffed at Sununu's recent
- practice of cutting them off at the pass and having a junior
- aide return their calls, dictate marching orders to them, and
- even respond to their letters to Bush. So how is a honcho to
- convey his thoughts to the President? Last month Bush himself
- opened up a new back channel, giving his top political advisers
- a private post-office box number through which they could
- contact him directly.
