HAIG SAYS HE PLANS TO RUN FOR U.S. PRESIDENT
Former U.S. Secretary of State
Alexander Haig has announced his intention to run for
president.
    Haig, a former general and NATO chief who served seven
presidents but never held elected office, said he will formally
announce his bid to run for the Republican presidential
nomination at a news conference later today.
    Haig's aides say he starts far back in the field of
Republican hopefuls, which is currently dominated by
Vice-President George Bush and Senate Minority Leader Robert
Dole, neither of whom have yet declared their intentions.
