RIPPLING MUSCLES WRITHE to primitive drumbeats, naked skin shimmers for voracious eyes, and brown eyes, reflect internal fires. Steamy Xica mesmerizes characters with her glib tongue and her sensuous hips. And men experience unimaginable ecstasies when she unleashes her exotic, sensual wiles--behind closed doors. They become Xica's slaves...
...Governor's top political aide described the contest as "between the Chablis-and-Brie crowd and Joe Six-Pack." As smooth and glib a speaker as King is stilted and lumbering. Dukakis came across as a sensible liberal, supporting stricter handgun control and subsidized day care for working mothers. He promised "a government and statehouse you can be proud of," a barely veiled reference to scandals that have tainted King's administration. King's secretary of transportation was imprisoned after being convicted of bribery, and several other key aides were forced to resign under clouds...
...both the student and the society that trains him, but it can leave him undernourished in the possibilities of life away from work.

But he and his liberal orthodoxy are especially popular in Brookline and Newton, slightly tweedy and heavily Jewish suburbs that were grafted from his old district onto...
...University funded publicity drive which produced leaflets and posters, there was little or no talk of the plan for a new government. Although the handful of students who had finalized the constitution and organized the referendum scattered among dining halls to ask people to vote, the talk was glib. "Too busy to vote?" and "It's Your Ass" condescended leaflets, and the minimal dialogue never delved into the constitution's substance. The result was an approving but wholly uninformed electorate. A Crimson poll on the eve of the election found that only 39 percent of a random 372 undergraduates...
