ELECTION ' 8S ' c k ; ' hen I said I want a kinder, gen- tler nation, I meant it. And I mean it, stated George Her- bert Walker Bush, 41st Pres- ident of the United States. The 1988 Presidential election between George Bush and Michael Dukakis was one of the cruelest in the nation ' s history through on-air attacks in order to gain sup- porters. This election was not based on the good points of the candidates, rather it was based on the bad. Bush ' s victory was won by 54% of the popular vote which equaled the same as 426 electoral votes for 538 possible. He had won the strongest in the Rocky Mountains states and the South and had held on to some of Reagan ' s key voting blocs. Bush ran about even with Dukakis among the middle class, winning the majority of in- dependents and baby boomers. Bush was hurt by a slight gender gap in which Dukakis won 52% of the votes cast by women compared to 47% for Bush. Because Bush ' s campaign was lacking in substantive issues, it did not help him get like-minded Republicans into office with him. Thus, the G.O.P. could lose two spots in the Senate and a handful more of seats in the house — giving the Democrats the ma- jority. Bush had built a solid lead in the polls in which he carefully protected by the end of the Republican Convention. By doing so, he set a mood that was both negative and trivial. Bush ' s main issues were small and would have been dismissed as irrelevant, except that Bush was able to put them to use and create larger doubts about Dukakis. After hearing all that was said against him, Dukakis stuck to his campaign matra good jobs at good wages con- fident that the Vice President would even- tually self-destruct. However, that was not so. Voters who knew little to none about Dukakis ' Massachusetts record had readily believed what Bush had said. Nearing the end of Election Day ' 88, the polls had showed some undecided voters were moving toward Dukakis out of disgust with Bush ' s negative campaigning. Though, through it all, for Bush it was a victory he had worked for all his life and the promise of a Bush Administration lies in the hope that the new President will soon inspire America to forget the manner in which he was elected.

Photo by Carlos Leconda 1 V In a world of increasing wealth, Donald Trump serves as a flashy symbol of an Acquitive Age. The enormity of his ego can be matched only by his increasing list of acquisitions. Among other things, he owns Trump Tower, a Fifth Avenue shop and condo palace, which cost $200 million to build in 1982; a hand- ful of Atlantic City gambling casinos; including Eastern Air Shuttle, soon to be renamed the Trump Shuttle; and one of the worlds most exclusive yachts, the 282ft. yacht — The Trump Princess which cost $29 mil- lion. In total, Trump is worth any- where from less than $11 billion to more than $3 billion, yet when asked, he pensively replies, Who the Hell knows? At 42, Donald Trump may not be one of the world ' s wealthiest TRUMP men, but certainly holds a position as one of America ' s celebrities. In reality, Trump is only carrying on the family business. The son of a dealer of middle-class houses, Trump began his quest of high priced property in 1 976 with the purchase of the $10 million Commodore Hotel. He soon turned it into a success which now brings an annual profit of $30 million. The story is the same with most of Trump ' s other projects, bringing him to represent one of the masters of the American deal. The gist of Donald Trump ' s secret to success can be heard expressed through his own words, My style of dealmaking is quite simple and straight forward. I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I ' m after. — Juan Cueva 238 KOW[£j[Q-SeM2
