Bird led the race after 50,100 and 150 yards, all just slightly over Harvey. Then, with two lengths left, Rafferty made his bid for the lead, and all three leaders touched the far wall even. One length...
...only once -- to drive about five miles to a press conference in a suburban Charleston motel. Typical of this hello-I-must-be-going style of stumping was the Dole press conference in the airport lobby in Florence, with the fuselage of his campaign plane clearly visible through a wall of windows. When Dole boasted, "I believe I'm more like South Carolinians than any candidate in the race," it sparked the impish notion that the airport lobbies in Kansas and Florence probably do look fairly similar.

As a site for the training program, Fujimori chose the remote Calamigos Ranch conference center in California's scrub-covered Latigo Canyon near Malibu. Among the ten students who took the first class in mid-February were several self-employed salespeople, two advertising staffers from the U.S.-Japan Business News weekly newspaper, a sales representative for Singapore Airlines, and Patenaude, a therapist who specializes in massage...
