...Carlin must face the problem of growth. For an artist to continue art, he must develop ceaselessly and elude decadence. But as he gets older and most of his self-expression becomes already expressed, Carlin's importance as a teller of irony pales.

...Dukakis in November. But because of the Democratic King's victory, and the assumption that Dukakis's liberal enemies will vote for Hatch in November instead of continuing to support King, Hatch--and the Republicans, who were written off as dead two years ago--have the glint of the Golden Dome in their eyes once again...

But otherwise the visit passed uneventfully, with talks about cultural exchanges and expanded trade. Though the subject was not announced, the two leaders undoubtedly discussed something else that concerns them both: the Soviet presence on Iran's borders...
