...members of the Rainbow Coalition said they will back Dukakis in November, if only to stop George Bush from winning the White House. "We're for removing the Reagan cancer and the only scalpel we have at our disposal is the Democratic nominee," said Rainbow Coalition director Jack O'Dell...
...same complaints might be made about Clarke's Miracolo d'Amore, which is rescued by being exquisitely beautiful. Clarke usually credits a painter with inspiring her imagery. This time it is Tiepolo. But the ancient crone sweeping and cackling, the commedia dell'arte clowns, the quartet of nude women gently interweaving in a dance, the men employing a variety of bird noises, the eerily believable copulation between a girl and a skeleton also bring to mind Cocteau and Gertrude Stein and Picasso and Diaghilev.

With a bankroll of just $1,000, Michael Dell, 23, started selling discount IBM PCs in 1984 as a freshman at the University of Texas. By last year his company was the eleventh largest U.S. maker of personal computers (fiscal 1988 sales: $159 million). But Dell faces tough competition. Three days after its announcement, Fort Worth-based Tandy said it will begin selling PS/2-compatible machines in June...
