Pentagon brass were outraged last year when the Dravo Corp. persuaded Congress to award it up to $10 million in extra payments on a disputed Navy contract. Although Dravo had agreed to build a steam plant at the Navy's Norfolk, Va., shipyard under a $102.9 million fixed-price contract, Congress ordered the service to pay for Dravo's cost overruns. Navy paymasters stalled until the 1987 fiscal year ended Sept. 30. Now, they discover, Dravo is back again. Just passed by the House Appropriations Committee, the 1988 Defense Department budget includes the same $10 million bailout. "Greed is still...

...Bridgeton, a Kuwaiti tanker now flying the Stars and Stripes, prepared to limp out of the Persian Gulf with a 30-ft. by 10-ft. hole in its hull caused by a mine that caught its American protectors unprepared. Jumbo military transports belatedly began ferrying minesweeping helicopters from Norfolk, Va. A Navy helicopter trying to land on the command ship of the task force crashed, with four Americans presumed dead. And the whole region was on edge in the wake of a protest by Iranian pilgrims that turned into a bloodbath in the Saudi Arabian holy city of Mecca...
Were it not for Dukakis' place at the front rank of Democratic presidential contenders, the story Mrs. Dukakis told at the dedication of a drug-treatment center in Norfolk, Mass., would be sadly ordinary. Her problem began when, as a 19-year-old in 1956, she obtained a prescription for diet pills to control her weight. (At 5 ft. 6 in., she then weighed about 130 lbs.; she now weighs 120 lbs.) Years of deceit followed as she began each morning with a small 5-mg dose of amphetamines. In hindsight, she concedes that the drug "contributed to my being...
