GRAPEVINE, Page 33FORWARD SPIN
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
BORN IN A LOG MANSION?
George Herbert Walker Bush will never be able to claim the
trendiest qualification for high office: childhood deprivation.
It worked for Clarence Thomas. Mario Cuomo rattles on about it
(the apartment-over-the-grocery-store bit). Tom Harkin now hopes
to ride it to the White House.
UNEXPECTED FORCE
What a difference a year makes. In the peace and quiet of
his Supreme Court chambers, unassuming Justice David Souter is
emerging as a candid, erudite and surprisingly forceful leader.
Expect eventual consideration as Chief Justice.
THE MOM BRIGADE
Ferne Milken, Molly Pollard and Sophie Altman are pulling
out all the stops to defend their sons -- junk-bond king
Michael, convicted spy Jonathan and former U.S. B.C.C.I. counsel
Robert. Better watch out for Fannie Gotti.
PUBLIC APPEARANCES
Before their political campaigns, David Duke had cosmetic
surgery and Doug Wilder shaved off his mustache (no one with a
mustache has won the White House in more than a half-century).
Next: the new Ted Kennedy, who is said to have lost 35 lbs.
preparing for his Palm Beach testimony.
EXCUSES
Guns don't commit crimes, parents do. From tales of incest
and divorce to complaints of less serious parental
shortcomings, everyone seems to be blaming Mom and Pop for
whatever ails. Get ready for lawyers pleading the Dr. Spock
Defense.
WEIRD FOOTWEAR
Last summer's fashionable footwear was the hiking sandal,
cute but not much good on rocky slopes. Now women are wobbling
around again on those high-altitude platform shoes. Here comes
a boom in orthopedic practice.
