...Roger struck out 20. Dave Henderson saved the day. Twice. The Pru lights made a '1.' But Schiraldi, Stanley and Buckner did bad things. Wade Boggs cried. A lot of other people...
...this past July, permitting states to narrow a woman's access to abortion. Planned Parenthood, the nation's oldest and largest family-planning organization, is also the premier institution providing abortions around the country, and Wattleton is fiercely dedicated to protecting that service. She had visions of Roe v. Wade being overturned, and spoke darkly of a return to the era of back-alley abortions...
Sullivan may have lost control of HHS even before he was confirmed as its chief. Shortly after he was nominated, Sullivan alarmed antiabortion groups by remarks he made in a newspaper interview in which he appeared to support the Supreme Court's pro-abortion Roe v. Wade decision.

It is oversimplistic to attribute too much influence to a single TV ad in a media-glutted statewide campaign. But the abortion issue was framed in a way that allowed Wilder to make inroads among racially tolerant, upscale voters who might be tempted to vote Republican...
