...Capitol Hill. "They saw water running under the door. She was giving herself a bath right out of the sink." But he is an optimist ("At least I got a clean floor"), and he still provides rest-room keys, selectively. Other businesses put their rest rooms permanently out of order...
Still, Sasso has his moments in this dizzying game of parry-and-thrust politics. Last Thursday, for example, the Bush campaign plotted a lightning raid on Boston, where the Vice President would dramatize his law-and-order thematics by accepting the endorsement of a Republican-leaning police union. This was a classic maneuver of Baker's and his operations officer, campaign manager Lee Atwater, a tactical gambit to keep his opponent off balance on the eve of the presidential debate. Earlier this month, the Bush armada had sailed unmolested into Boston harbor and excoriated Dukakis over its polluted waters. This...
...each morning, seated around the conference table in Baker's office are roughly the same seven or eight key people, including Atwater, TV guru Roger Ailes, pollster Robert Teeter and chief of staff Craig Fuller.

...federal project also plans to analyze sections of the genome to determine the precise order or sequence of the four chemicals -- adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine -- that make up the DNA chains. So far, only about 600 genes have been sequenced. Information from these efforts is expected to help in developing diagnostic tests and even cures for the 3,500 disorders such as cystic fibrosis and sickle-cell anemia that are known to be caused by genetic defects, and those in which heredity has a major influence, including heart disease and cancer...
...further loss when tests showed that Grablev and teammate Angel Guenchev, who won the gold in the 148 1/2-lb. class, had taken furosemide, a banned diuretic. At first Bulgaria attempted to distance itself from the offending lifters by claiming that they had taken the drug without approval in order to lose weight and not to enhance performance. But Gottfried Schodl, president of the International Weightlifting Federation, viewed things differently. Said he: "If you are drunk, it doesn't matter if you drank gin, vodka or Scotch." Both lifters were stripped of their medals by the I.O.C. The disgraced Bulgarians then...
