...same anguished question might be asked by today's voters of the Democrats who propose to capture the White House next year. Unlike the ballplayers on that woeful expansion team of a quarter-century ago, the Democratic candidates were supposed to be slick, blooded pros who could project an attractive image of cool competence.

...Montreal's thriving real estate market. Other construction -- apartments, condominiums, new hotels -- is altering the Montreal skyline so fast that photographs taken only a year ago are already outdated.

It was this news that drove the stock down another 10 1/4 points last Monday. On Tuesday, when the Dow Jones industrial average climbed a record 75.23 points, the Gap managed an anemic 5/8-point rise. It closed on Friday...
...recession for the past five years, is expected to grow this year by 2% to 3%, a rate that one State Department analyst estimates to be perhaps one percentage point lower than if sanctions had not been imposed. South African exports to the European Community in the first quarter of 1987 plunged 33% below those of the same period last year, and the first half's decline in shipments to the U.S. came to a hefty...
