...final month before the 1988 voting actually begins, Bush has clearly become the dominant -- indeed, virtually the only -- issue of the Republican campaign. That is fine with Dole, who wisecracked his way through the debate and tried to cement his image as a just-folks neighbor from Kansas.

They include her mother (Elaine Stritch), a bruising emotional bully; her stepfather (Jack Warden), who is a noisy irrelevancy; a neighbor (Denholm Elliott) who expresses love by being socially obliging; a best friend (Dianne Wiest) who is obscurely tense; and Peter (Sam Waterston), the ad man who rented the guest cottage on the property and then failed in two obvious duties: he didn't finish the novel he intended to write...

...many Americans, "verification" may be an abstract mouthful. But for 17,000 citizens of Magna, Utah, the word's meaning will soon be as vivid as a new next-door neighbor. Under terms of the just completed INF treaty, 30 to 40 Soviet inspectors will be stationed for 13 years in this flat, dusty mining community 16 miles west of Salt Lake City.
