...board, but that turned out to be another official lie. We guessed that since Pakkoku wasn't on any of our maps, it must be a tiny village; it turned out to be a city of 200,000. We stayed at a family inn called the Myayatanar, where innkeeper Tint San spoke impeccable English and his son played "Ob-la-di, ob-la-da" on the guitar. They took us into town to the festival that was going on that night. We expected another pwe, but instead it was a huge carnival with a ferris wheel, Kung Fu movies blaring...

Says Wisconsin Party Chairman Matthew Flynn: "Mondale has only one chance to win this election-if he picks a woman. He has to take a gamble." Ferraro, 48, is the leading female contender. As an Italian American from the East, Ferraro would provide political leavening. Feinstein, 50, the impressive Jewish mayor of a hip city, would help compensate for the nominee's Midwestern squareness...
