HERE IT COMES AGAIN, THAT HARSH Ross Perot plan. Whoever would have expected that a tract on deficit reduction could captivate people and rank as a best- selling book?

EVER SINCE THE LOADED SUPERTANKER UNDER HIS command foundered on Bligh Reef in April 1989 and unleashed an 11 million-gal. spill of Alaskan crude oil into Prince William Sound, Skipper Joseph Hazelwood has been a marked man.
