A nation that would like to believe it can shun stereotypes, that cherishes the ideals of equality and brotherhood, continues to be haunted by the plight of a segment of its citizenry that remains mired in a seemingly intractable dilemma of race and poverty...
...DEMCROCRATS WON THE BIGGEST ROUND in Election '86, and they did it in spite of having to operate at a huge disadvantage to the Republicans. The Grand Old Party does not have any lock on virtue, they just have money--five times as much as the Dems in the '86 Senate races...
