...bolder the reach, the more it suits him. Sanford Weill, who resigned as president of American Express in 1985, has since made daring but unsuccessful bids to take over BankAmerica and the consumer-loan subsidiary of Manufacturers Hanover Trust. Last week Weill's persistence paid off. Commercial Credit Group, the Baltimore-based consumer-finance company (assets: $4.4 billion) he now heads, agreed to take over Primerica, a Connecticut-based financial-services firm that has three times the assets of Weill's corporation and owns the Smith Barney brokerage firm...

Few people believe the FSLIC can avoid going to the taxpayers for billions of dollars...
...same states." What makes the current map such a crazy quilt is that the major battlegrounds stretch from New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the East through Ohio, Michigan and Illinois in the Midwest, to Texas and California. Several smaller border states, such as Kentucky and Tennessee, are also within reach of either Bush or Dukakis. Rarely since World War II has so much terrain in all regions been up for grabs...
