...hospital with kidney failure the day before Ronald Reagan's second Inaugural celebration in January 1985; hospitalized for alcohol detoxification the following June, just after he resigned as White House deputy chief of staff to become a high-priced lobbyist; sent to an alcohol treatment center in Maryland for a one-month stint in October 1986, after which he became active in Alcoholics Anonymous...
Convoys of minivans are now daily crisscrossing the country, leaving behind a trail of satisfied customers, mostly overworked yuppie couples, young mothers and small-business owners. Maryland-based Decorating Den has accelerated from 100 vans in 1984 to more than 600 franchised van drivers today.

He is no graduate of the clubhouse system dominated for some 30 years by William Schaefer, Baltimore's respected former white mayor, who was elected Governor of Maryland last November. Instead, Schmoke, a Rhodes scholar, is out of Yale, Harvard Law School and Oxford. Last week he defeated a black politician from the old school, Clarence ("Du") Burns, 69, who had climbed through the ranks to become city council president and Schaefer's interim replacement as mayor.
