...Clinton column. But on balance, Perot's vote potential seems greatest in states that Bush must capture in order to reach the magic number of 270 electoral votes. "We'll take that trade any day," says a campaign adviser. While that analysis should make Clintonians happy, they nonetheless fret about Perot. Their lead has endured for 11 weeks, allowing them to firm up plans for the climactic weeks while the Bush camp must improvise. For Clinton, new elements add uncertainties that can be dangerous.

Two of the more raucous songs, Rock in This Pocket and Fat Man and Dancing Girl, are even hot enough to hit the dance circuit.

His work is gloriously celebrated in SAY IT WITH MUSIC at New York City's ritziest nightclub, Rainbow & Stars, on the 65th story of NBC's building in Rockefeller Center. A cast of seven led by Kaye Ballard performs 47 songs...
