none. Bush isn't lithe enough, is having so much trouble with the
growing "silver foot" that he has to try putting the excess in Dukakis'
mouth. Dukakis can make more points by acting like an Olympian
than by claiming to be one, and let the audience judge, per usual,
which one looks like a winner as a result.

The first modern Olympics, 1904 or some such, featured a "literary
