...plans for the country, though they come from a man who seems to have the right priorities, are sometimes wildly optimistic (his projections for economic growth) and sometimes just plain wrong (his inexplicable penchant for the death penalty). Clearly, Bill Clinton is no Tom Harkin, and he's no Mario Cuomo. But he's no George Bush either. And that's why we should be celebrating. Bill has proven himself as a leader who has both principles and political skills. That combination--together with a Democratic Congress newly invigorated with women and minorities--should give us reason for hope...
That Clinton has in fact come so close might easily be ascribed primarily to luck. After all, the heftiest Democrats -- men like Mario Cuomo, Lloyd Bentsen and Dick Gephardt -- decided to sit the election out, leaving Clinton to battle a field of second-stringers for the nomination.

Joe, Super Mario Brothers and Leave It to Beaver, are "educational" in nature. In a report prepared by the Center for Media Education in Takoma Park, Maryland, consumer groups charge that these stations are skirting the law's intent to upgrade children's TV programming by lumping all programs into vague categories such...
...galloped ahead, blithely drawing up plans without consulting the wishes, worries and hopes of the people. Last week a sizable portion made it clear they are not about to trade their national identity for something else without knowing why. "Maastricht has yet to be explained," acknowledged Portugal's President Mario Soares...
