Barnstorming by bus across the Midwest, one of the areas he must concentrate on, Dukakis got off to a bad start. Playing a weak Call to the Post on a trumpet in Euclid, Ohio, the Governor was mercifully drowned out by a professional band. But on Tuesday in Michigan, something started to click. At Arthur Hill High School in Saginaw, Dukakis clenched his fist, then opened his arms wide, palms uplifted, to welcome the crowd.

Park officials maintain that they can only contain the fires, not extinguish them. Meanwhile, defenders of the natural-burn policy trumpet its benefits: the flames clear thick stands of timber and prepare the soil for a new generation of flora.

Ecologists expect the fires to help restore the park's depleted stands of aspen trees and increase the wide array of insects, birds and mammals that have found Yellowstone's aging forests increasingly inhospitable...

Before the first trumpet or toe shoe had been lifted, critics were charging that the sprawling roster of events lacked focus, and had been inflated with items that were scheduled anyway or that are customary offerings of the city's arts institutions. Some ballyhooed events, they noted, were direct transfers: O'Neill's Ah, Wilderness! and Long Day's Journey into Night from the Yale Repertory Theater, Martha Clarke's Cocteau-like erotic fantasy...
