Nothing that good is forever. Last week Bush opened in the Big Top and turned in a more mixed performance. The Capitol crowd that liked his warm-up act took a dim view of some of his proposals. The President briefly took control of his agenda, but then other events -- abortion, taxes -- seized control of him. Bush hit the ground running, but ran into trouble...
Every game, Reilly's voice can be heard from the bench, as he cheers for his Crimson teammates--Hall included. He drills Hall in the warm-up before games, and yells encouragement to the other Harvard players...
...warm-up highlights more than two dozen athletes who are at the top of their sport, a television viewer's guide to key events, and an offbeat look at Seoul by Contributor Pico Iyer, whose recent book, Video Night in Kathmandu, examines the inroads of Western popular culture throughout Asia.

Through most of the week, the candidate kept being upstaged by his own warm-up speakers. Finally, last Friday, Dukakis displayed some belated fire while campaigning in Texas, when he likened Bush's posturing on the Pledge of Allegiance to McCarthyism: "Now they're attacking my patriotism, and just as they did in the 1950s, the American people can smell the garbage...
