...monarchy, Prince Charles' TV confession was a fiasco. It's hard to fathom how the embattled heir to the throne could replay 1992, the year his mother called her annus horribilis, but he has managed it.

By 1992, a third of all candidates for state legislature sought endorsement from the 15,000-member Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus; this year, all four gubernatorial hopefuls support gay rights. The Massachusetts Board of Education last year adopted, unanimously, the nation's first state educational policy prohibiting discrimination against gay elementary and secondary students.
