...fastest-growing powerhouse on Wall Street. Rudolph Giuliani, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is likely to follow the SEC in accusing Drexel and Milken of collaborating with convicted arbitrager Ivan Boesky to defraud the firm's clients, trade on insider information and conceal the true ownership of stocks -- all, presumably, in the pursuit of greater profits and power. Milken's lawyers, for their part, accuse the Government of a vindictive campaign based solely on self-serving testimony by Boesky. The potential racketeering charges against Drexel could hit the firm even harder than the civil suit...

...Reagan. As an administrator this would clearly be a virtue, since the Vice President, although incurious and often inattentive, does have an underlying understanding of how Government works. The problem for Bush is "the vision thing." While Dukakis is trying to hide his ideology, Bush is attempting to conceal the fact that he does not have any. A former Bush aide contends, "He's not interested in policy." Through his entire career, the Vice President has been a political chameleon, taking on the coloration of the President he serves. Although he would hate to admit it, Bush was even willing...
