CHANGEABLE COLEMAN

In 1988, Marshall Coleman heaped praise on Oliver North, asking, ``Where would we be without men like Lt. Col. Oliver North, who sacrificed so much in the cause of the Reagan presidency?''

Today Coleman calls North unfit and an embarrassment. What is his sincere opinion?

Mr. Coleman also has trouble making up his mind on abortion. Can we count on him to hold to the same principles and promises next year that he does today? I think not.

Marshall Coleman seems to position himself according to what is politically expedient at the moment.
