- <p> Bored, isolated and eyeing a run for office in her native
- North Carolina, Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole quit last week
- after 21 months on the job. Few tears were shed in the White
- House; some there were concerned that details of Cabinet
- meetings were finding their way back to husband Bob, the Senate
- minority leader.
- </p>
- <p> Who's next out the door?
- </p>
- <p> Manuel Lujan Interior. The gaffe-prone, underworked
- Secretary is the odds-on favorite to quit next, particularly
- since top aide Lou Gallegos has resigned and returned to New
- Mexico. "Gallegos was literally running the whole department,"
- says an insider.
- </p>
- <p> Jack Kemp Housing and Urban Development. The quarterback
- turned Congressman turned Cabinet member behaves like a grumpy
- Supreme Court Justice, squawking about Bush's policy on China
- and Lithuania. Supply-sider Kemp wants to replace Trade
- Representative Carla Hills, but that's unlikely.
- </p>
- <p> Lauro Cavazos Education. The laid-back Secretary isn't
- helping Bush earn the title of "Education President." He keeps
- Reagan-like hours, drives himself everywhere (even on
- out-of-state trips) and is seen as overly dependent on his wife
- for advice.
- </p>
- <p> Richard Thornburgh Justice. Earlier this year the Attorney
- General was clearly on the way out. His botched investigation
- of Congressman William Gray and subsequent leaks by top aides
- earned Thornburgh many enemies. But now he is love-bombing the
- people he alienated and may survive.
- </p>
- <p> Richard Darman Office of Management and Budget. The
- director's machinations during the budget talks hurt the
- President politically. Even some Republicans want Darman's
- ouster. But he will hang on for now, partly because he is
- indispensable to Bush on a daily basis, partly because he
- refuses to leave until something better turns up.
