...commitments. Neither of them loomed large on the agenda of any special- interest group, nor did they spark a passionate reaction from the voters. But they are emblematic of the mind-set that Dukakis would bring to the presidency. During a debate before the New Hampshire primary, Dukakis the righteous reformer vowed that the first bill he would send to Congress would be one limiting the influence of political-action committees. Even more characteristic is the carrot that Dukakis dangled before Iowa voters: a promise to hold the first in a series of regional economic-development conferences in Davenport...
What sins have the members of the Fly Club committed to bring down upon themselves the righteous wrath of Ms. Schkolnick and Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz? The club has no affiliation with the University Ms. Schkolnick supports with her tuition. The activities of the members involve no lawbreaking and take place within the confines of the building.

Maynard Glitman, the chief American negotiator on INF, told his Soviet counterpart, Alexei Obukhov, "You may take six hours or six days or six weeks or six months to get back to where you were in 1983. We don't care...
...takes that approach even further, into the mythic heart of American music and some slat-roof recording studio -- maybe on a prairie, maybe near a delta -- where a singer sits down, lays down a few sides, then % vanishes into the long night. Tunnel of Love has that kind of righteous power. It is a record that Springsteen has staked a lot on. It follows no formulas and does not provide what fans may first expect. But right now, anyhow, it sounds like the best record he has made...
