The candidate who knows that, and who is willing to take the country problem by problem, perhaps to discover a vision by deduction, will not bring down the house with a speech this year.

Increasingly, the signs seemed to point to a Soviet exit from Afghanistan before the end of 1988. Kremlin officials made no secret of their desire to bring home their 115,000 troops.

Now Miller and the theater's owners, Toronto Businessman Ed Mirvish, 73, and his son David, 43, are seeking to bring back the glory days of the classics.
