...like an update of "Hot Stuff," while "Take It So Hard," recalls "Brown Sugar," and "Rockawhile" recalls any number of two-chord Stones jams. "Struggle" is a Stones voodoo party-from-hell song, like "Gimme Shelter" or "Sympathy for the Devil," and "Whip It Up" calls to mind "Midnight Rambler," even though it's not about S and M, as the title would have you believe...

He can wax ecstatic over finding a pair of $47 shoes in a discount outlet, and has owned just four cars in the past quarter- century: a Rambler, two Plymouths and the current 1981 Dodge. "My wife says I'm the most uncomplicated man in the world," Dukakis admits. "I guess I am." Even his 83-year-old mother says of him, "What you see is what...
