- <p> THOSE WHO CAN'T, TEACH. Around Harvard, a new name is
- cropping up as a possible successor to Graham Allison, who is
- stepping down this summer as dean of the Kennedy School of
- Government. The prospect is a former professor there, Michael
- Dukakis. One problem is that he is still Massachusetts'
- Governor. Harvard could name an acting dean until Dukakis' term
- ends at the end of 1990. A less likely possibility: Dukakis,
- given his budget woes and rebellious legislature, might resign
- and take the deanship this fall.

- <p> DADDY'S BOY. Emboldened by his father's success, the
- President's son George W. Bush, 42, has his eye on the Texas
- Governor's mansion. A former oilman who moved to Dallas after
- working on his father's campaign, Bush (often referred to,
- inaccurately, as George Jr.) has asked friends to poll business
- associates, golf partners and garden-club members about his
- chances. The results have been less than overwhelming. "I like
- Junior," says one respected Texas pol, "but he's just running as
- Prince George, and Texans don't like that kind of thing."

- <p> TALK ABOUT JUNK BONDS. The latest from the Washington joke
- mill: it looks as if the savings-and-loan bailout will not
- require Quayle bonds after all. And what are Quayle bonds? They
- have no principle (sic), no interest, and they never mature.

- <p> LOUIS WHO? The guest list for a conference on the "black
- agenda" that Jesse Jackson is convening in New Orleans in April
- includes black leaders ranging from Coretta Scott King to
- Washington Mayor Marion Barry. But one name -- Louis Farrakhan
- -- came as quite a surprise, even to Jackson, who said he was
- furious when he learned that the Nation of Islam leader was
- listed on draft schedules. Whether Farrakhan will be asked to
- speak remains in doubt.
