...sludge, courtesy of the citizens of Baltimore, set out on its vagabondage from Maryland nine weeks ago, and has been plying the rails ever since. After Louisiana declined the tribute, the so-called Poo-Poo Choo-choo chugged into a rail yard near Pascagoula, Miss. But Mississippi's department of environmental quality threatened a fine of $2 million a day, so the train operator gave up, and at week's end was preparing to follow the scent back to Maryland...
Goodgame, 34, confesses to being not so patient a waiter as Duffy, but he's learning. A native of Pascagoula, Miss., Goodgame studied at the University of Mississippi and at Oxford. After stints at the Tampa Tribune and Miami Herald, he joined TIME's Los Angeles bureau in 1984, where he covered everything from immigration to movie stars. "My editors, in their wisdom, saw some natural progression from profiling Bill Cosby to covering the President," he says...
...yesterday it was Barry Goldwater). When Lehman mentions that Michael Dukakis advocates saving $18 billion by eliminating two carrier task forces, Teeley, who has been sitting in on the conversation, immediately sees it as the perfect item to highlight Bush's speech at the Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss.

Bush's understated comparison of himself with Dole and Robertson (he again mentions "stability") gets lost in the static...
...Five, when the storm finally skulked westward and hammered into Mississippi, it was scarcely a subject for humor. Its pounding, 125-m.p.h. winds and satellite tornadoes devastated business districts and residential neighborhoods alike in Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula. Approximately 1,400 commercial structures were damaged, along with at least 3,790 dwellings, leaving hundreds of people homeless and causing insured private-property losses of more than $350 million in Mississippi alone. During its wild meanderings, Hurricane Elena left behind an additional $13.8 million of insured private-property damages in Louisiana, $100.3 million in Alabama and $46.8 million in Florida...
