THE QUEST FORTHE PRESIDENCY 1988 was a year of drastic political change. Out of the several candidates that ran, the Democratic choice was Michael Dukakis and the Republican choice was George Bush. Dukakis chose Lloyd Bentsen for a running mate while Bush chose Dan Quayle. The campaign trail was long and hard. The people of the U.S. along with the candidates were all to ready for Nov. 2. In the poll taken by the journalism class at MHS, the student body had a strong pull for the Bush Quayle ticket. The campaign this year will be remembered as one of “dirty politics”. One commentator said, “To err is human, but to blame it on someone is politics.” The next four years will disclose if the people’s choice was the right choice.

The conversation around this year’s Olympics focused on the use of steroids in the athletic field. Drug testing at the Olympics was manditory and some surprising facts came out. Many well-known athletes had been using steroids to improve their athletic ability. In addition, newcomers were using steroids. Hopefully at the next Olympics, wher- ever it is held, conversations about ster- oids and drug testing will be obsolete.
