...program was set in September," says Orser, 26. "I can't have any doubt or question whether I'm going to do a triple or a quadruple in one spot." Orser's confidence will be the key to whether he triumphs or stumbles. Although he has had a lock on the Canadian title for eight years, he has often been an also-ran at the international level. After taking the silver medal at the 1984 Olympics, just behind America's Scott Hamilton and three places ahead of Boitano, Orser placed second in three successive world championships.

...years, many insiders have blamed headquarters. And in fact Big Blue's corporate staff in Armonk, N.Y., was keeping a tight, often stifling lock on decision-making authority.

...impressive grasp of the issues have made Gore, at 39, a viable contender for the top spot. But in recent weeks he has become something more: the only Democrat building a solid geographic base and, partly as a result, the only contender in either party developing an early lock on at least the second spot on a ticket. Having decided to concentrate on the South rather than Iowa and New Hampshire, the junior Senator from Tennessee has been reaping a daily harvest of endorsements from leaders of the region's white establishment. At the very least, this solid base will...
