...Baiul's performance was not nearly as clean as her rival's; she two-footed a triple flip (a major gaffe) and simplified another jump. Critics were quick to point out that her first-place rankings each came from four East bloc countries and a German judge from the defunct Democratic Republic.

Over the longer term that could mean trouble for the President, the First Lady or both. Over the shorter term Fiske can only help them by absorbing all questions about the matter into the black hole...
There is also Steve Jobs' NeXTStep 486. Requiring even more computer power to run than NT, NeXTStep brings the much-acclaimed object-oriented interface of the now-defunct NeXT computer to PCs. While it probably features the best user environment of any computer, its hefty demands on the underlying hardware have kept the PC masses away...
