...race with either Ross Perot or Richard Lamm, Clinton's lead over Dole grows to 16 points, with Perot pulling in 13 percent and Lamm taking just 4 percent. Clinton's approval rating also rebounded from June, jumping five points to 55 percent. Along with Clinton solidifying his lead, Democrat Congressional candidates have improved their standing. If the election were held today, 48 percent of voters would support a Democrat for Congress compared to 41 percent for Republicans. In June, the margin was two points.

DIED. ANDREAS PAPANDREOU, 77, the first Socialist Prime Minister of Greece; in Athens. He was democrat and demagogue, a man whose doctrinaire ideology and fist-in-the-air oratory could just as often inflame an audience as inform it. Once a U.S. citizen, he parlayed a virulent anti-Americanism to power, delayed only by a military coup that imprisoned, then exiled him. He became Prime Minister in 1984 and, except for a hiatus caused by financial scandal, and despite resigning in January due to illness, was the central political figure of Greece until his death...
