...York's Democratic Governor Hugh Carey won 52% of the vote in a contest with Lieutenant Governor Mary Anne Krupsak and State Senator Jeremiah Bloom. Spending $1.5 million-ten times as much as either of his opponents-Carey veered sharply to the right during the campaign, emphasizing his efforts to restore fiscal solvency to New York City and his modest state tax cuts.

...TUESDAY NIGHT, most of Massachusetts thought about the unexpected primary dump of Governor Dukakis, but the opening night crowd at the Colonial Theater was oddly removed from all the shenanigans outside. They were there for a Good Time, and they were determined to get it for the price they had paid. Well, when the brand new musical version of King of Hearts finally ended, the crowd stood up and cheered. You don't usually see that on opening night for anything.
