Bush is enlightened on point of phrase
The Associated Press
WASHING-
TON — George
Bush wasn't sure
at first exactly
what it meant,
that line about
the thousand
and the million,
but aides said he
liked the music of
the phrase.
Since Bush speechwriter Peggy Noonan put it for Bush's convention, Orléans, the points-of-light line has taken on a life of its own in the 1980s.
Noman, a former speechwriter for President Reagan, also came up with the "kinder, gentler nation" phrase to describe his nominee nomenies frequently.
Bush aides say the "thousand points of light" line, which has evolved into a description of volunteer and charity efforts that supplement government assistance was at a level buffering to the vice president.
Even later, Bush told audiences that he sympathized with those who
weren't sure what the phrase meant. One of those was the Democratic rival Michael Dukakis, who said he was puzzled by the phrase during his first debate with Bush in September. "I think that means that," Dukakis said.
Even so, Dakisak built on the phrase, telling audiences that he wasn't for the 1,000 points of light but for the people of the U.S. reference to the U.S. population.
Bush occasionally has scrambled the phrase, calling it "1,000 points of life." And, in an interview with the reporter referred to as "a thousand shills," Bush
The phrase blinked on again last week at the Al Smith charity dinner in New York City, which both presidential candidates attended.
Bush told a joke on himself. He said he and his wife, Barbara, had gone to the movies the night before and had a dance with the new husband in a seat in the darkened theater.
The usher declined, telling Bush. "You're the one with the 1,000 points of light."
Sometimes the line loses a bit of its luster, as it did during the second presidential debate at Los Angeles.
Blacks might gain seat
Jackson's boost won't help in Congress
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Blacks hope to pick up at least one new House district, but aren't optimistic that their burglar political boost of the year — Jesse Jackson's strong showing in the Democratic presidential gains
If all 23 black House members win re-election, and Donald Payne a candidate, the House would vacant seat as expected, the number of blacks in Congress will be at the
All the House incumbents are Democrats and only one. Rep. Cardiss Collins of Illinois, is a female.
Payne, a Democrat running against black Republican Michael Webb, is the front-runner in the race
for the seat left open by the retiree chairman of the Chair of the Judiciary Committee who has represented his predominantly black district since 1954.
The Congressional Black Caucus is cautiously optimistic about picking a seat in Louisiana's 8th district, where attorney Faye Williams is fighting a rematch against Rep. Holloway, the one-term Republican.
Despite Jackson's second place finish in the Democratic presidential primaries, some blacks hold little hope of future gains in Congress unless more white Americans can be enabled to vote for black candidates.
Lawrence ranks high in fast food
The Associated Press
People in Lawrence eat lots of burger and tacos - enough for a No. 25 ranking in fast-food sales nationally.
That's good news for fast-food restaurants but a mixed blessing for Mayor Bob Schumm.
"We're happy that so many people are eating out and spending that kind of money." Schumann said of the group. "We're in high job opportunities for people here."
"But culturally speaking, I'm somewhat disappointed," said Schumm, who owns three sit-down restaurants in Lawrence. "I guess if the average is $300, someone's going to be because I not付 any."
Restaurant Business, a New York-based trade journal, reported that Lawrence is 25th among 318 metropolitan areas across the United States in per capita fast-food sales. The magna-cursus residence an average of $31 a person on fast food in 1987.
In fast food terms, $310 will buy about 183 Big Macs, bushels of fried chicken or dozens upon dozens of tacos.
The $110 Lawrence figure is well above the national average of $217, but well below the $49 per capita spent by residents in and around Lexington, Ky. the country's topped spender. The tri-city area of New York, the capital of N.J., had the lowest per-capita sales ranking at $85 a person.
Alana Norton, manager of a taco restaurant in Lawrence, said students will be revolves around the University of Kansas student population. "But we get all kinds of people in business, industrial work and education."
Cress Wagner, manager of a Lawrence drive-in restaurant, says Lawrence is "a very hot site." She has said that there's no sign of slowing down."
Wagner agreed that university students make up just a portion of his clientele.
