Dukakis, who visited the Harmony Early Learning Center in Secaucus, N.J., criticized Bush's plan as ill conceived. "Any policy that would require every welfare mother in the country to hire an accountant just doesn't make sense," he said. He supports in concept, but not with specifics about how he would pay for it, a $2.5 billion day-care plan introduced by Democrats in Congress that would apply federal standards to day-care facilities and provide money to states for subsidizing those who send their children to approved facilities. The two approaches illustrate a fundamental difference in the parties...
Welcome to Wrestling from New Jersey -- er, The Morton Downey Jr. Show, TV's wildest talk program. Since its debut two months ago on WWOR, the Secaucus, N.J.-based superstation, Downey's verbal slugfest has made Phil's and Oprah's "lively" discussions look like sherry-sipping college seminars. Critics are appalled ("A disgrace to television," said Kay Gardella of the New York Daily News), but ratings are rising, and blue-collar fans are flocking to the studio for tapings. After just two weeks, all the seats were booked through the end of the year...
Matewan (rhymes with great one) proves, as Return of the Secaucus 7 and The Brother from Another Planet did earlier, that John Sayles knows how to anchor a strong story -- here, the real-life massacre that led to the West Virginia mine wars -- in a fresh setting.

And in the rich umbers of Haskell Wexler's cinematography, Matewan does look great...
...last month at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall, the renowned Crosby, Stills and Nash decided that they wanted to perform an old Bob Dylan tune, Ballad of Hollis Brown. But the rock group needed the sheet music for the song, and the most accessible copies were at the Secaucus, N.J., offices of Warner Bros. Publications. The group telephoned Warner Vice President Sy Feldman, who asked if the performers had access to a fax machine. Luckily, one of those electronic wonders was available at their hotel. In the time that it takes to sing the ballad, the band had copies...
...essential charge was that Schiavone Construction Co., a Secaucus, N.J., firm in which Donovan served as executive vice president before his Cabinet appointment, had defrauded the New York City Transit Authority of $7.4 million on a contract to construct a subway tunnel. Schiavone was obliged to give 10% of the work to a minority-owned enterprise. The enterprise it chose was Jo-Pel Contracting and Trucking Corp., a firm set up by New York State Senator Joseph Galiber, who is black, and William (Billy the Butcher) Masselli, who has been identified by the FBI as a Mafia soldier. Merola charged...
