...candidate whom Sasso had, perhaps too loyally, served. In arranging for an emotional homecoming, the self-reliant Dukakis all but acknowledged that Sasso is the indispensable man. The team of Chairman Paul Brountas and Campaign Manager Susan Estrich had proved adept at directing a safe, within-the-speed-limit strategy that befitted the candidate's personality.
