Introducing him at a speech in Corpus Christi, Texas Land Commissioner Garry Mauro said, "Governor, when I saw the two k's in your name, I can tell you we've never had a Dukakis run for anything in Texas...

He spent a dozen years as a priest and bishop in Okinawa, was the bishop supervising American Episcopal churches in Europe, and then served as Executive for National and World Mission at Episcopal headquarters in New York City...
...Coast last week as Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger announced the selection of nine cities as home ports for 29 warships. In what Senator Lloyd Bentsen called "great news for Texas," his state won some $109 million of the $264 million in annual Pentagon payroll spending.
