...anyone, period. You have to be winning to be scrutinized--unless as Joe Biden learned, another candidate has it in for you. The white candidates who supposedly have been under the gun of scrutiny so far all were doing well at the polls at the time. Gephardt's trade policy and his flip-flopping on the issues--notably abortion--came under fire only after his victory in Iowa. Gary Hart drew the spotlight of the Miami Herald because he was the front-runner. Paul Simon was quizzed on how his budget would add up only after he edged out Dukakis...
Jackson regularly professes solidarity with the oppressed workers overseas. In international trade, however, he says he will reduce the United States' trade deficit by abolishing tax incentives for American companies that build plants abroad, under the assumption that they would then reinvest in America.

Until Paris, went the chat among trade and press, the shows in Milan and London were a cumulative snooze-a-thon. Only Armani, in Italy, showed strength. The designers of England were, as ever, erratic and eccentric. There were signs of disappointment in retail reactions to the shows. Skirmishes over skirt length were blown, in the absence of any heavier action, into epic battles in a generally desperate attempt to bring heat to the placid proceedings. The short-skirt wrangle was a sure sign that the season was falling into something worse than a crisis. At least a critical condition...
