...Hispanic Heritage Week to spotlight Bush's child-care plan. Joining the battle between Bush and Michael Dukakis for the Hispanic vote, Reagan met with Hispanic newsmen and assured them of Bush's "warm feelings with regard to Hispanics." Reagan barnstormed through southeastern Missouri last week, labeling Democrats "trench-coat liberals" and darkly warning that a Dukakis presidency would resemble the horror film Nightmare on Elm Street...
...annoying, most of all, to Republicans. Tarring Dukakis as a liberal is their main strategy for the fall. Don't be fooled, says President Reagan: the Democrats are just hiding their liberalism behind "trench coats and sunglasses." George Bush bragged to TIME's Hugh Sidey that he possesses, and intends to wheel out, an actual quote from Dukakis, saying "I'm a liberal Democrat." Gotcha...
...visitors journeying to the U.S. do not hesitate to spend money. Like Americans who stocked up on Burberry trench coats, Gucci loafers and Hermes scarves in Europe back when the U.S. currency was king, tourists in the U.S. are seizing upon a host of unbeatable deals made possible by the fallen dollar. Clothing, cameras and cosmetics are among goods that are often 20% to 30% cheaper in the U.S. than back home. Sometimes the savings can be even greater.

The biggest headlines at CBS News over the past few years seem to have originated mostly behind the cameras. No company's inside gossip has been the subject of more outside scrutiny than that of CBS, and the result has been a small library of books on the network's inner workings. Few, however, have offered harsher indictments than two new releases that try to affix blame for the turmoil and shifting priorities at TV's most...
...Dukakis evokes wild enthusiasm? Hardly. A TIME poll last week conducted by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman showed that only 34% of registered voters consider Dukakis an "exciting" candidate (vs. 66% for Jackson). Rather, the party has grown weary of a nominating contest that combined the worst elements of burlesque and trench warfare. Now at last the stable, competent craftsman can begin to build a campaign against George Bush...
