...Raymond, a mechanical engineer from M.I.T. and the founder of Benthos in North Falmouth, the world's leading maker of oceanographic equipment, suggests that Massachusetts has an equation for success. "There's a mother lode of talent in this state," says Raymond. "Combine that with the liberal ethic and you have a society that stimulates creativity." That is precisely what Governor Dukakis wants to accomplish: to make the state work "so that the extraordinary becomes a permanent fixture."

Erica also stated that shortly before the trial began, Mother Teresa expressed her support...

Harry's children attending the trial are cool toward their father, a tall, gaunt figure wearing cropped hair and a baggy gray suit. Last week he tried to call over his daughter Paula, 25. "Why now," she audibly asked, with hardly a glance at her father, "with all the reporters here?" At another moment Erica murmured aloud, "Poor Harry doesn't know what's going on." Harry, in an interview, recalled...
