From Associated Press reports
George Bush and Michael Dukakis
both laid claim Sunday to precious,
last-minute momentum in their
campaign marathon the vice
president declaring the tide was
moving in his direction, and the
combative underdog insisting he was
headed for an election upset on
Tuesday.
The political equivalent of a
nuclear exchange occurred on tele
vision, where the Republicans and
Democrats spent millions of dollars
in advertising for the waning hours
of the campaign. The two candidates
bought time for 30-minute commer
cials on all three major networks for
election eve on Monday.
Although national polls pointed to
a victory by GOP nominee Bush,
both candidates battled the clock and

physical exhaustion in a final drive
to snare undecided voters and nail
down the presidency.
NBC News said Bush led nationally
by 5 percentage points, and one of
every five voters was undecided or
might switch allegiance.
"There ain't no stopping us now
unless we stop ourselves," the vice
president said at a breakfast rally in
Colorado Springs, Colo.
"We can't turn the White House
over to the people who claim to be
on our side but who left the country
on its back," Bush said.
Countered Dukakis, also begin
ning his day in Colorado: "He's
slipping and sliding, we're rocking
and rolling." He sought to raise fears
over the possibility that Bush if
elected might put vice presidential
running mate Dan Quayle in charge

"Gives you the chills, doesn't it?"
Dukakis asked. "Think about it: the
Cuban missile crisis, with Dan Quayle
in charge."
Democrats voiced confidence they
would retain or perhaps widen their
majorities in the House and Senate
in Tuesday's balloting, and they got
little dissent from Republicans on
that score.
One of the tightest Senate races was
in Florida, where a late-hour poll
showed a virtual dead heat between
Democratic Rep. Buddy MacKay
and Republican Rep. Connie Mack
for the seat being vacated by Demo
cratic Sen. Lawton Chiles.

on the ballot.
It was the costliest campaign in
American history, and just one piece
of it, a series of California ballot
initiatives, had a price tag of more
than $100 million.
In the final two days, the presiden
tial candidates thought . no more
about flying across the country than
most voters thought about walking
across the street.
Bush aide Alixe Glen described the
vice president's rapidly changing
itinerary as a "Magical Mystery
Tour." Dukakis tried to defy the clock
by flying overnight from Spokane to
Cleveland and onto St. Louis and
then back to the West Coast for a
noon rally on Monday.

Paul had been linked to the Tonton

dictatorship of the Duvalier family.
He served as commander of the 700

Paul had been considered one of
the most powerful members of the

to end the Palestinian revolt by
breaking up the refugee camps
that have been at the center of
violence.
In the West Bank, an 18-year-old

Police have adopted several strate

said.
"We have changed our patrolling
strategies somewhat," she said. "We
are also pushing our crime prevention
with programs like neighborhood

Addressing other aspects of the
report, Cousins said the three rapes
reported in Chapel Hill so far this
