Taylor has written an unexpectedly personal book: he confesses to liking Hart, to overestimating the importance of Mario Cuomo in the Democratic sweepstakes and to being moved by Jesse Jackson. Taylor is so disturbed by the 50.16% turnout rate in the general election that he has given some thought to fixing the problem. His proposed solution -- giving each nominee five minutes of free television time on alternate nights during the campaign's final days -- is worth trying, but it may only prompt voters to reach for their VCRs...

Which candidate has proposed a more coherent plan to put criminals behind bars? Would either candidate do what New York Governor Mario Cuomo has done and call for the hiring of more police officers? Who knows? The staff doesn't seem to care...
