...Dukakis concede one point: he has impeccable integrity. He is probably the last politician in the state who could be accused of taking a bribe or tolerating a conflict of interest. Last August, State Sens. Ronald C. MacKenzie, the assistant minority leader, and Joseph J.C. DiCarlo, the Senate whip and Harrington's appointed heir, were indicted for extortion. Ways and Means Chairman Kelly was named an unindicted co-conspirator but cleared by the trial's judge. Other officials were implicated. Whatever the jury's findings, the negative publicity will probably have a lasting effect. Due to the ineffectiveness...
...hawks on the Hill has stirred echoes of the recent fight the conservatives put up to block Carter's choice of Theodore Sorensen to head the CIA. Bul Warnke has the strong backing of the liberals, who failed to rally to the support of Sorensen. Democratic Whip Alan Cranston began leading the fight for Warnke's confirmation in the Senate, and Hubert Humphrey declared that the nominee "will be a tough negotiator. He's no patsy.

With a trainer/owner mother, Cauthen grew up on the backstretch, attending his first Kentucky Derby at the same age colts do -as a three-year-old. By the time he was twelve, he was perched beside the starting gates, studying how jockeys get away on the break. After he decided to become a rider, Steve and his father collected race films, endlessly rerunning them on a borrowed projector, to dissect the strategies of dozens of jockeys...
...another matter. Maddie Gotobed (Cecilia Hart) has the body of a Botticelli. She is slow at speed writing but has fast friends in high places. Some are right here in the committee chamber. As Maddie's blue scanties emerge from the M.P.s' briefcases at inauspicious moments and whip through the air like naval pennants, it is clear that whatever the Prime Minister's electoral problems may be, Maddie has carried the House...
