...thunderstorm pounding Mexico City was fierce enough to suggest that the ancient Aztec deities were mightily displeased. Nevertheless, Cuauhtemoc Cardenas had no trouble assembling more than 100 journalists last Monday night outside his mother's house, the unofficial headquarters of his quixotic presidential campaign. "The figures that we have received show that I have won," he intoned as lightning sliced ominously through the black sky. "We won. Definitely." At precisely that moment, the house went pitch dark, the electricity knocked out by the storm...
...design, the cost of the late call proved far greater than any possible anticipated benefit. It stirred up Jackson and his forces at a time when Dukakis should be preparing to preside over a Democratic love feast in Atlanta. It also seemed to undermine Dukakis' reputation for efficiency and suggest that before the campaign is over, he may have a rendezvous with his own arrogance.

Of all the U.S.'s Latino landscapes, perhaps the most haunting is in New Mexico, where Native American, Spanish and eastern-Anglo sensibilities have boiled together in the Southwest sun for the past four centuries. The so- called Santa Fe look, romanced into...
...long as the U.S. trade deficit keeps improving, the G-7 strategy will have plenty of supporters. But the dollar could tumble at the first sign that the U.S. trade position is not improving as much as the most recent figures suggest. "We've been on a roll," says Robert Hinton, a vice president and foreign-currency trader at Barclays Bank in Manhattan. "But if the trade figure suddenly goes to $13 billion or $14 billion, you can kiss the strong dollar goodbye...
