Success is hardly evident from id's unpretentious headquarters next to a Ford dealer. True, it's the biggest building in town--seven stories--and game architect John Romero's custard-yellow Ferrari leaps out among the pickups and sedans in the parking lot. (It looks better beside the mostly marble, gargoyle-graced home he just built.) And yes, John Carmack, id's president and chief visionary, is having his own Ferrari custom built from parts. But the dress code is shorts and T shirts, as set by the ponytailed Romero, who at 28 is the eldest partner...

...cockeyed optimism for anyone to try to unshoe him; yet not one, but two cockeyed optimists are contending in North Carolina's Democratic primary next week for the sporting honor of challenging the Senator when he runs for a fifth term in November.

That prospect rattles members of the Clinton Administration, since Bob Dole gets applause by pillorying Boutros-Ghali as an architect of Clinton's foreign policy. The Administration does not yet have an alternative, but may try to dissuade Boutros-Ghali by threatening to exercise the U.S. veto. Who else might be in the running? A safe option would be a veteran diplomat, such as Kofi Annan of Ghana, head...
