...weddings, baptisms and funerals as reasons for their participation. Each gathering of a keh, notes Sungsoo Kim, president of the Korean-American Small Business Center of New York, is a "great party with food and drinks and everything." Says Aurora Lares, who owns a Mexican restaurant with her brother in Santa Monica: "A tanda is for helping people and for making good friends...
...mother and father met because of their Greek ties. Euterpe Boukis' brother told her there was a handsome Greek in a visiting company of college players who had acted Euripides' Hippolytus. She met, briefly, the man who played the lead role and who was on his way back to college.

...ordering more executions during his eight-year term than any other sitting Governor could offset Dukakis' soft-on-crime image. He is a master of the political gimmick -- he performed 100 different jobs in 100 days during his 1978 gubernatorial campaign -- with potent Washington connections (he is the brother-in-law of Washington Post Board Chairman Katharine Graham). But with less than two years in the Senate, he brings little Washington or foreign policy experience to the ticket...
