More alarming was a June report of a survey of 1,600 women who had become pregnant since 1984. Researchers from the Kaiser-Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland found that expectant mothers who spent 20 or more hours a week at terminals were twice as likely to suffer a miscarriage during the first trimester as non-VDT users. The difference in birth defects was not statistically significant, however.

...Heizer, Ursula von Rydingsvard and John Duff have mounted exhibitions demonstrating the range and vitality of contemporary sculpture. One of the most impressive of all opened last month at Storm King Art Center on the Hudson River in Mountainville, N.Y., 55 miles upstream from Manhattan.

Recent polls confirm a trend that first emerged in a TIME survey five weeks ago: nationally, Dukakis now leads Bush by 11 to 13 points. The San Francisco- based Field Institute last week gave the Massachusetts Governor a virtually identical 13-point margin in California. Even if that gap shrinks, it represents a remarkable opportunity for Dukakis in a state that Republicans have carried in all but one presidential election since 1952 (the exception was Lyndon Johnson...
