This is a trend which seems only to be growing. When Joe Biden shows passion, we prove our political acumen by pointing out that he is playing to the cameras. If a protest happens to take place during Commencement week, we prove our intelligence by terming it a publicity tactic. Each action, we all know and repeat knowingly to one another, is merely a crass effort at self-advancement...
...trend appears fairly clear: that ideological differences are becoming blurred and that the nations of the world are coming together to create for each state a teleological end of money, money, money. But if we have finally convinced the whole world to play a game for which we wrote the rules, a game we demonstrated could make a nation strong, proud and very rich, we must not change the rule or quit now that real competition exists. Rather, the U.S. must play harder...
...Monty Python shows could get a quick laugh by disparaging some plonk from Australia as "a wine for laying down and leaving there." No longer. The wines from Down Under are moving steadily up in quality, and they are enjoying a new popularity in the U.S. Riding a trend for Aussie chic that has made household names of Qantas, Pat Cash and "Crocodile" Dundee, U.S. sales of Australian wines topped 1 million gallons last year, more than triple the volume of 1986. "People who have experimented with Australian wines have been very happy," says Jon Fredrikson, a San Francisco wine...

The San Francisco- based Field Institute last week gave the Massachusetts Governor a virtually identical 13-point margin in California. Even if that gap shrinks, it represents a remarkable opportunity for Dukakis in a state that Republicans have carried in all but one presidential election since 1952 (the exception was Lyndon Johnson...
...cameras embody this trend more completely than three new 35-mm models from Olympus, Chinon and Yashica that are making their debuts in U.S. camera stores this month. Not only are they packed with computer chips and high-tech features, but each also sports a new, high-tech look, one that owes more to the smooth curves of the video camcorder than to the basic rectangular design that has dominated 35-mm cameras since the 1924 Leica Model "A." Says Yasuhiko Nakayama, the veteran video-camera designer who created the Chinon Genesis: "We wanted a unique design concept to match...
