...involves whether those with deeply held views against abortion should feel compelled to oppose policies and politicians more tolerant of it. "I don't see how a Catholic in good conscience can vote for a candidate who explicitly supports abortion," said Archbishop O'Connor in June. Governor Cuomo, who opposes a ban on abortion, was angry at the Archbishop's political intrusion. The two men have since come to a consensus on the separation of church and state, even as they agree to disagree about abortion law. "The Catholic Church will not tell people what party, what...
Officials of the suing states were distressed by the EPA position. Thornburgh suggested that it continued a pattern of "discriminatory enforcement." New York's Democratic Governor Mario Cuomo claimed that his state has "the most comprehensive program in the nation to reduce acid rain, but 90% of the acid rain killing our lakes originates in other states.

The Business Council of New York State opposed the law, claiming it would raise rate payers' electric bills while not solving the acid-rain problem. The dilemma is that the pollution knows no boundaries. Indeed, environmentalists say that New York produces less than a third...
...convention's transcending moments, the big speeches, television is at its best. In San Francisco, these speeches were endlessly ballyhooed in advance in the irritating way television plugs prizefights or sitcoms to come. But if this iteration helped swell the crowd to hear the oratory of Governor Cuomo, Jesse Jackson or Fritz Mondale, much can be forgiven. These fine speeches reminded us that a skilled orator, adjusting intuitively to the crowd's response, employs a different and more demanding art than the numbing nattering of commentators. Television talk has been memorably defined by ABC's Sam Donaldson...
