...markets by liberalizing its customs procedures and changing its distribution system. Try as it may, the U.S. is not going to get Japan to change the way it does business. Instead, Prestowitz says, the U.S. should demand a specific share, say 20%, of the Japanese market for a product and let Tokyo worry about how to achieve that goal...

Dukakis' latest and most important victory to date was a product of shrewd defensive play and some luck, rather than the innovative offense he will need in the fall. Jackson started off with virtually solid backing from New York's blacks and heavy support among Hispanics. To win, he still had to reach a significant bloc of white liberals and union members. Most of all, he had to hope that Gore would peel enough white votes from Dukakis to make the race competitive. Instead, Gore flopped utterly. He became a prisoner...
