- Who Needs Cuomo?
- </hdr><body>
- <p> All it takes to enter New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation
- presidential primary on Feb. 18 is nerve and a $1,000 filing
- fee. Among the record 62 candidates who have rushed in where
- Mario Cuomo feared to tread:
- </p>
- <p> Lenora Fulani. Thanks to her money-raising abilities, the
- 41-year-old developmental psychologist and leader of the
- left-wing New Alliance Party will receive more than $600,000 in
- federal matching funds, a sum exceeded only by Bush and Iowa
- Senator Tom Harkin.
- </p>
- <p> Pat Paulsen. The television comedian, a veteran of several
- lighthearted campaigns, will run again in '92, despite having
- filed for personal bankruptcy.
- </p>
- <p> Lyndon LaRouche. The wild-eyed libertarian, who has also
- run for the White House before, sent in his form from the
- federal prison in Alexandria, Va., where he is serving a 15-year
- sentence for mail fraud.
- </p>
- <p> Tom Laughlin. He played the anti-Establishment movie hero
- Billy Jack, and now the jowly actor wants to karate-kick his way
- into the White House on a platform of nuclear disarmament and
- middle-class tax cuts.
- </p>
- <p> Harold Stassen. No field would be complete without the
- 84-year-old former Minnesota Governor who made his first
- presidential bid in 1944.
