...sure, Reagan was not the only weakened leader in Venice. Wits went too far in talking about a "lame-duck summit." West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was re-elected in January, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was on the verge of winning a third term, and French President Francois Mitterrand has recouped his popularity. But Prime Ministers Amintore Fanfani of Italy and Yasuhiro Nakasone of Japan are due to step down soon, and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is in severe political trouble at home. No wonder that their deliberations in a 17th century monastery on the island...
...tension mounted, extra minutes becoming extra hours, regulation yielding to overtime upon overtime. Deadlines were missed, nails were bitten, and over 100 shots were rifled at the net. And still two zeroes remained on the Kohl Center scoreboard: one beneath Harvard, a 23-win team making its fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, and the other below host Wisconsin, the heavily favored top seed and defending national champion, with only one loss on its record to date.

Then, Jacques Delors was the President of the European Commission, the single currency was being planned, and François Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl were shaping European policy. It seemed certain that political union would follow the economic variety and the E.U. become a second democratic Atlantic superpower. But that dream was curdled by European dithering in the Balkan wars and by the concomitant realization that European electorates had no stomach for displays of superpowerdom as they have been conventionally measured: that is to say, in killing...
...tops and Capris but also dares to inch up the food chain of craftsmanship (think cashmere sweaters), avoiding the race to the bottom by refusing to woo price-conscious consumers and sell ever cheaper clothes made with ever cheaper labor--a trend driven by discounters like Wal-Mart and Kohl's that has rippled to specialty shops. He has also taken away the fashion-by-engineering ethic that made J. Crew predictably boring...
