Pierce said the state's huge budget deficit was a direct result of Dukakis' presidential bid, saying he and his allies "mortgaged the future of this state for a presidential campaign...
...cost is huge. A 1985 study estimates that corporations bought 12 percent of the alcohol sold at retail in that year. The cost to the government of deducting all those martinis was approximately $5 billion. Compare that to the $5.6 billion that former President Ronald W.

More dismaying to ABC, Chicken Soup -- though the highest-rated of any new show this fall -- regularly lost nearly one-third of the huge Roseanne audience. Last week the network abruptly canceled its can't-miss hit. Moral: when it comes to TV programming, nobody knows borscht...
