...dismissal of Simon as just another image from a media consultant's blueprint is perhaps the most stupid failure of the so-called "genius of American politics." It seems that when commentators talk about Simon they can't see his large programs for his bowtie. That commentators shallowly label Simon's call for a caring government a press-office creation after eight years of Reaganomics is shocking. If we ever are going to end homelessness and racism and a thousand other social ills, we are going to have to refute that super-savvy sneerful kind of reasoning. Paul Simon...
...become. There is the party's Washington establishment, dedicated to whittling away at Reaganism by deft compromises, which is what Gephardt belonged to until his self-reinvention. He was also once associated with the Atari Democrats, though Dukakis now might have more of a claim to that half- forgotten label.

A minor tremor of indignation went through me, but I tried to shrug off the image of those women. If you let yourself be upset by such things as that, you will spend a great deal of time being angry...
...Side Story plot set in Harvard Square, the two lovers now become the thoroughly hip couple of Jon (John M. Shecter) and Jane (Felicia D. Phillips). In this contemporary setting, the strict hierarchy of the fashion gangs prevents their union. Jon suffers the misfortune of coming from the wrong label family. His J. August sweats look provincial next to the latest Armani and Williwear fashions that the Cambridge gang members sport...
