Style wars. Despite the warming trends in U.S.-Soviet relations, Nancy and Raisa would be at home in the frozen-food section of a supermarket. At lunch in the Sutton Place townhouse of U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, Mrs. Reagan interrupted Mrs. Gorbachev's lecture on the need for the two nations to become more open with one another. "Haven't we? Haven't we?" she cut in. Amid the shop-till-you-drop types, Barbara Bush was the only guest wearing the kind of suit a grandchild could spill apple juice on with impunity. She raised...

After selling his family's supermarket and department-store chain in the '70s, he bought the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team in 1985 to keep it in the city. Kohl is expected to be tough on the Pentagon, since he urges a 10% cut in defense spending, but he shuns a liberal label, noting his experience as a businessman. He joins a growing club of Senate millionaires, including Pennsylvania's John Heinz, New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg and Ohio's Howard Metzenbaum...
