...Those pared-down troops still produced about the same amount of airtime as four years ago (coverage both years began at 9 EDT on most nights), indicating that the excess personnel had been mostly fat. "Production shortcuts have made our lives a little more difficult," acknowledged NBC Executive Producer Joe Angotti, "but in terms of what the viewer sees at home, the cuts make no difference whatsoever...
...Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Justine Bateman, Ed Begley Jr., Ed Asner, Morgan Fairchild and the ubiquitous Rob Lowe half disguised by scholarly-looking glasses. Their cicerone in Atlanta was Tom Hayden, who escorted them to seminars and around the convention floor. While on the floor one day, Fairchild spied Joe Kennedy Jr. Unable to get his attention, she accidentally on purpose bumped into him, then apologized with histrionic surprise, "Excuse...

Joe Kennedy, the President's father, who had moved to Brookline to launch his banking career, went to Harvard for its social benefits, and sent his sons there for the same reason. Academic matters were secondary. The social benefits of Harvard were a reason for Michael Dukakis not to go there. He believes deeply in meritocratic distinctions, which are blurred (if not reversed) by social influence. He went, instead, to the Quaker school Swarthmore, where his love for discipline would be rewarded. The school also...
