...Presentation Manager, that is intended to be the software centerpiece of its new PS/2 line of personal computers. Presentation Manager is virtually identical to Windows 2.03, and any legal restraints placed on Windows can be expected to apply with equal force to the IBM program. That is the real target of Apple's suit, says Richard Shaffer, editor of Technologic Computer Letter. "Apple wants to delay, stall, confuse or otherwise hold at bay IBM's Presentation Manager...
...combat soldiers dispatched to Honduras last week first pitched their tents at Palmerola air base, more than 100 miles from the contra sanctuaries in Honduras that were the target of an incursion by Sandinista troops. The Sandinista assault, grandiloquently characterized by the Reagan Administration as an "invasion," had prompted Washington to respond with paratroopers and infantry. There was "no intention" of sending U.S. troops into combat, assured the White House. Officially, the soldiers were there for a "readiness exercise" intended to show U.S. support for the Honduran government -- a rather dubious claim, since the fighting took place in a remote...
...campaign drags on, the real race may devolve into a scavenger hunt for delegates. The particular target will be the 646 super-delegates -- those party leaders, Congressmen and state and local officials who will go to the convention nominally uncommitted.

The issue may be resolved this week when Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze meet in Washington...
...assured. Even after nearly a year of campaigning, Dukakis has yet to discover precisely what he wants to say. His constant references to "economic opportunity" and "good jobs at good wages" turned the Massachusetts economic revival into a much ridiculed cliche. Only in recent weeks, with Gephardt as the target, has Dukakis found his voice as a campaigner, railing against everything from protectionist legislation to the Missouri Congressman's votes for Reaganomics. Similarly, Dukakis' most successful ad in the South was a depiction of an acrobatic Gephardt flip- flopping through midair. Now with his favorite debating foil reduced to Simonesque...
