There is an additional complication on the West Coast. Periodically, a warm- water current in the Pacific shifts eastward in a pattern called El Nino, a Spanish eponym for the Christ Child, so called because it appears off South America around Christmastime. The result: higher sea levels, unusually high tides and severe winter storms along the western coast of the Americas. During the most recent major occurrence of El Nino, in the early 1980s, sea levels along the California coast rose an average of 5 in. With the added tides and storms, the effects were catastrophic.

Michael and Kitty Dukakis are almost a comically exaggerated study in contrasts: he is reserved, analytical and parsimonious, while she is warm, emotional and a bit extravagant. They raised three children: John Dukakis, 29, Kitty's son from her first marriage; Andrea, 21, who just graduated from Princeton; and Kara. John, now running the Dukakis campaign in the South, sees a gradual softening in his father's demeanor: "My mother has really helped him to express that it's not an invasion of privacy to show people that he cares for them...
...warm day in Chicago, so many commuters were listening to North on their car radios with the windows open that his testimony sounded like it was in multitudinous stereo.

A golden-brown turnip sauce burnishes a sauteed veal chop, juicy roast pheasant tops cabbage mellowed with bacon, and hazelnuts accent a silky chocolate ramekin...
...least 25% more Americans are expected to vacation in Western Europe this year than in 1986, and the numbers may go much higher. During the first four months of this year, Lufthansa Airlines carried 32% more passengers from the U.S. to Europe than it did a year ago, and warm weather had yet to arrive on much of the Continent. Sales of American Express vacations in Europe are up 70% over last year, suggesting the possibility that 1987 may come close to matching the record travel year of 1985, when 6.5 million Americans spent $6 billion on European travel.
