...compare himself with -- as Mario Cuomo, for instance, had a swarm of Italian friends to gauge himself against. In Michael's formative early years, there was not only monos mou but also oi thyo mas ("we two"). When Stelian, the soft one, went under, Michael, the quicker one, must have made something of that. But we cannot know what -- he is quietly respectful of his brother's memory, and incurious. He has forgotten many of his brother's bizarre actions, including -- most significantly -- his suicide attempt. Stelian is off the map. His brother was not Greek after all, as Michael...
...Yeah, only in America can the son of a Brookline doctor from Harvard's medical school, who left his family million-dollar trusts, end up with the illegitimate son of a black woman in South Carolina." Dukakis grew up with the children of middle-class professionals who knew they must keep striving, but who were certain they could affect the world around them.

On the busing issue, he refused to join either camp, suggesting there must be a third position that would serve to end discussion, not continue...
Bush conceded that many details of the shootdown "remain unclear." But he hammered away on two points: 1) Iran "must bear a substantial measure of responsibility" because it "allowed a civilian aircraft loaded with | passengers to proceed on a path over a warship engaged in battle" (the Vincennes was fighting with Iranian speedboats); 2) the underlying cause of the tragedy was Iran's insistence on continuing the gulf war against Iraq. Again and again Bush pointed out that Iran has defied U.N. Resolution 598, which calls for a negotiated end to the war, although Iraq has accepted...
