...city. The Post closely followed the mayor for a week and found a record of missed appointments, meetings and ceremonies planned months in advance. The paper also found that Barry was out of the city for 108 days last fiscal year, including a visit to the Virgin Islands.

To add insult to injury, Dan Quayle, who could spell Harvard with the help of a dictionary and RogerAiles, denigrated us during his nationally televised debate with Lloyd Bentsen. But of course Quayle was just following George Bush's lead in making "the Harvard boutique" (Store 24?) an issue in the campaign...
