...high-scoring team from a field of 90 active-duty, reservist and Air National Guard pilots flying in from bases as close as Colorado and as distant as Korea. Much of the costly $1.2 million exercise is calculated to impress Congress. It provides comparative statistics measuring the high-tech F-16 against older planes such as the F-4s, A-10s and A-7s flown by Guardsmen and some reservists. Computerized bombing, applied by man, usually triumphs, and the Air Force needs the results to justify an increasingly high-tech budget. Gunsmoke's backdrop is 3 million acres of training...

Even so, nurses are not quite blameless in this crisis.

Mostly less experienced, and therefore less expensive, the tyros have been assigned, in campaign parlance, to stick with the "body." From Iowa to New Hampshire and across the South, these body watchers have doggedly followed their men, briefing higher-ranking correspondents and producers...
...miracle" for its booming economic growth--employment hovers around 2 percent, three points below the national average. Dukakis has implemented policies which have fostered innovation and growth, while he has personally encouraged the partnerships between industry, government, and universities that have made Massachusetts one of the nation's high-tech, export centers. Dukakis can rightfully claim some credit for transforming a state once called "Taxachusetts"--beset with high unemployment, crime, and a declining economy--into the nation's top economic success...
