Tattle when you're a third-grader, and you'll get a stern parental reprimand. Tattle when you're an imprisoned junk-bond trader, and you'll get time off. That's the lesson celebrity financier and felon Michael Milken was taught by Federal Judge Kimba Wood, who reduced his prison sentence by one year for cooperatively testifying against former colleagues. For the past 17 months, Milken has been a model inmate at a minimum-security California prison. He can expect to return home to his family next March...
Strategists on both sides are more comfortable with the known terrain of a two-man race. The Republicans see their "electoral lock" triumphing again. "We're looking at a victory resembling the coalition of states that has won for us in the past," said Republican chairman Rich Bond, "the South, of course, and most of the small Western states, with some good showings in the Midwest and a few Northeastern pick-offs."

...first real mudslinging match between the two, the Bush campaign $ nearly pressed the attack too far. Rich Bond, the Republican Party chairman, was everywhere last week, accusing Perot of being too dangerous to trust with "the CIA, the FBI and the IRS." This alarming charge oozed hypocrisy, coming on the heels of news that Bush had asked Perot as recently as January 1990 to underwrite the rebuilding of Panama after the U.S. invasion. Bond nonetheless barreled on, even dialing up Larry King Live to engage Perot in a lengthy argument about the definition of a "dirty trick...
