Remember the Duke's completely phony 'Massachusetts Miracle', which he used to pave his way into the Presidential race? (And who can forget his stoic face peering our from under a helmet as he took a ride in a tank for a publicity photo that also backfired). As soon as he left the governorship to run for pres the whole thing collapsed. There was no miracle, only a nightmare, and he knew it he'd put something like 23,000 people on the state payroll to get the unemployment down. It took Weld and company (and an actually great economy) to get us back on track). So, you can thank Silber for growing Boston U. (if you care) and you can blame Dukakis for Weld, who you can thank for the current state of Mass. Sorry, everyone. Rick Schafer - -
