>     The ``Blizzard of '96'' that paralyzed the East Coast from Georgia to
> Maine earlier this week virtually shut down the presidential primary campaign
> in New Hampshire.
>    Only conservative commentator Pat Buchanan and former Tennessee Gov. Lamar
> Alexander kept to their schedules of campaign events yesterday after
> attending a major Republican fund-raising dinner Sunday in Manchester.
>    ``He's up in Carroll County, and pretty much on schedule,'' said
> Buchanan's New Hampshire campaign spokesman, Mike Biundo, yesterday. ``A
> little snow does not scare Pat Buchanan away.''
>    Meanwhile, Alexander campaigned at Bedford Town Hall.
>    Three of the leading Republican primary contenders - Senate Majority
> Leader Bob Dole, Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, and New Jersey magazine publisher
> Steve Forbes - could not make either the Republican dinner Sunday, or any of
> their proposed campaign stops yesterday. The Forbes and Dole campaigns issued
> statements blaming the weather.
>    ``Due to extreme weather conditions in New Jersey that are preventing him
> from reaching the state, Steve Forbes' New Hampshire campaign schedule for
> today has been cancelled,'' read a press release yesterday.
>    U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass, the 2nd District New Hampshire congressman who
> co-chairs the New Hampshire Dole for President campaign, addressed the Salem
> Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Kansas senator yesterday.
>    ``Sen. Dole is unable to attend due to inclement weather conditions in
> Washington,'' a press release indicated.
>    Iowa businessman Morry Taylor and radio personality Alan Keyes flew out
> right after dinner Sunday night, canceling any campaign events they had
> scheduled for yesterday.
>    Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar, who was also at the dinner Sunday, is not
> scheduled to be back in the Granite State until later today.
