...style is aloof and intellectual: a Shakespearean scholar with a doctoral degree from Oxford, Krueger was once a dean at Duke University. Conservative Congressman Kent Hance, with his good-ole-boy demeanor, plays up the contrast between the elegant Krueger and him self. "I'm a Texan," he drawls. "I think like a Texan and I'll vote like a Texan." Battling Krueger for the liberal vote is State Senator Lloyd Doggett, a consumer advocate and civil rights crusader who has won endorsements from the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats and the state...

Prenuptial agreements, Jagger recently said, "don't stand up in court hardly...
...Ross Perot, 53, a Texan who has earned millions from the computer industry, disagrees. After loudly criticizing Texas schools' obsession with football, marching bands and baton twirling, he has been named by Governor Mark White to head a committee to try to reform public schools in Texas. It is likely to be an uphill struggle. Texas students spend an average of one hour a night on academic studies and as much as 15 to 20 hours a week on extracurricular activities. At least 600 of the state's 1,100 districts allocate all of their local school revenues...
