that commercial which said mr. coleman wanted to take away the right of abortion even in cases of rape and incest a charge mr. coleman denies changed the dynamics of the campaign <unk> it at least in part into a <unk> on abortion |
the ad prompted mr. coleman the former virginia attorney general to launch a series of advertisements created by bob goodman and designed to shake mr. wilder 's support among the very women who were attracted by the abortion ad |
the coleman <unk> featured a <unk> of a young woman in <unk> and the ad suggested that she was <unk> an <unk> courtroom <unk> |
a voice says <unk> now do n't you have <unk> |
then an announcer <unk> it was douglas wilder who introduced a bill to force rape victims age N and younger to be <unk> about their private lives by lawyers for accused <unk> |
so the next time mr. wilder talks about the rights of women ask him about this law he tried to pass |
mr. wilder did introduce such legislation N years ago but he did so at the request of a <unk> a common legislative technique used by lawmakers |
the legislation itself noted that it was introduced by request and in N mr. wilder introduced a bill to protect rape victims from <unk> <unk> |
people have grown tired of these ads and coleman has gotten the <unk> of being a negative <unk> says mark <unk> a political scientist at mary washington college |
wilder has managed to get across the idea that coleman will say anything to get elected governor and more important has been able to put the <unk> for all the negative <unk> on coleman |
mr. coleman said this week that he would devote the remainder of the political season to positive <unk> but the truce lasted only hours |

the attacks began when democratic rep. james florio aired an ad featuring a drawing of <unk> and a photograph of mr. florio 's rival republican rep. jim courter |
remember <unk> says a female voice |
consider jim courter |
and then this commercial produced by bob <unk> gets down to its own mean and <unk> business |
pictures of <unk> oil <unk> <unk> into focus and the female voice <unk> that hazardous waste on his mr. courter 's property the neighbors are suing for consumer fraud |
and the nose on mr. courter 's face grows |
the only fraud involved cry mr. courter 's <unk> is the florio commercial itself and so the courter campaign has responded with its own <unk> commercial produced by mr. <unk> |
in this one the screen <unk> with photographs of both candidates |
who 's really lying asks a female voice |
florio 's lying the voice goes on because the barrel on courter 's land contained heating oil was <unk> up and caused no pollution |
mr. courter 's long nose <unk> while mr. florio 's grows |
who 's telling the truth |
stephen <unk> a political scientist at new jersey 's <unk> institute says it 's another example of an ad that 's true but not fully accurate |
barrels were dumped on the courter property a complaint was made but there is no evidence the barrels were a serious threat to the environment |
even so according to mr. <unk> the ad was devastating because it raised questions about mr. courter 's credibility |
but it 's building on a long tradition |

asia 's other <unk> countries are following japan 's lead and pumping capital into the region |
in taiwan and south korea rising wages are forcing manufacturers to seek other overseas sites for <unk> production |
these nations known as asia 's little <unk> also are contributing to southeast asia 's integration but their influence will remain subordinate to japan 's |

the student surrendered the notes but not without a protest |
my teacher said it was ok for me to use the notes on the test he said |
the teacher in question was nancy yeargin considered by many students and parents to be one of the best at the school |
confronted mrs. yeargin admitted she had given the questions and answers two days before the examination to two <unk> geography classes |
