On his first visit to Queens, N.Y., last year, he was met by Greeks waving $20 bills. In addition, more than 30% of Dukakis' donations come from Massachusetts. Much of the rest is given by affluent, civic-minded professionals, urban and suburban, who are willing to write checks and line up friends to do the same. And no one is better at sowing and reaping...
