...wrestling. Well, as Tom Humphries wrote in the Irish Times, "it took five, maybe 10 seconds for the beery, testosterone charged crowd in the MGM [Grand] Garden to realize they weren't watching a novelty act...The mixture of ferocity and serious boxing skills left the most chauvinistic ticket holders gape-mouthed." Equally awed were the millions who saw the fight on pay-per-view. For days afterward, conversations about the Tyson fight invariably segued toward the women. Christy Martin has become an overnight sensation. "We've had calls from Japan, Canada and Regis and Kathie Lee," says Jim Martin...

Add the retired general to the ticket, however, and it's Dole-Powell over Clinton-Gore, 47% to 45%. Meanwhile, the political cost to Dole of a pro-choice running mate would appear to be manageable. Despite Buchanan's threats to rock the convention if Dole taps Powell, or any other pro-choice possibility, less than a quarter of Republicans surveyed would make abortion a litmus-test issue for their vice-presidential nominee.
