If the practice catches on among Governors, next Christmas may bring portraits of George Deukmejian as Plato and Mario Cuomo as St. Augustine...

Bill Bradley remains as beguiling as ever, and Mario Cuomo stands ready to prove that not all Northeastern ethnic Governors are soulless technocrats. Maybe 1992 will be the year the Democrats shake off their presidential curse. Or maybe the party is just doomed to wander in the wilderness until President Dan Quayle runs for a second term...
