Party-splitting brawls were avoided, and unity was pledged by many orators, some of whom sounded as if they meant it. Colorado Senator Gary Hart promised full support of Mondale, who defeated him in a grueling and bitter primary campaign, and Jackson, after losing a string of floor fights over...

In Ontario, Canada, which for eight years...
...worst shape of all, and Wall Street analysts bet that if there is a utility bankruptcy, Lilco will be the first. Lilco is awaiting approval of $200 million in bank loans, along with rate increases of another $200 million, but help from both quarters is uncertain. Governor Mario Cuomo has said he will not support a state bailout to prevent a Lilco bankruptcy, and regulatory authorities are ensnarled in what size rate hikes to grant...
