Dukakis attacked his rival’s claims on education and asked “Where was George?” when school programs were being cut. “He was playing hooky,” Dukakis said, answering his own question. The presidential candidates cam paigned at opposite ends of the country, each trying to take the of fensive and demonstrate that their fall campaign is near full swing well before the traditional Labor Day kickoff. A day after declaring himself to be a life-long environmentalist, the Republican nominee traveled to Massachusetts and took a boat tour of the harbor — an event aimed at making its pollution problems an embarrassment for the governor. The vice president was encour aged by a new poll showing his race with Dukakis deadlocked even in Dukakis’ home state, where he has won three terms as governor. “Two hundred years ago tea was spilled in the Boston harbor in the name of liberty,” Bush said. “If tea were spilled in the Boston harbor to day, it would dissolve in the residue of my opponent’s neglect and de lay.” Dukakis, ridiculing Bush’s claims to be an environmentalist, said Bush was “one of the charter members of the environmental wrecking crew” of the Reagan administration. He also charged Bush had told California voters he opposed off shore oil drilling while telling Texas audiences he supported it. Dukakis said his own “environmental policy doesn’t change with the time zones.” Bush’s running mate, Sen. Dan Quayle, was on a week-long trip through the South. In Little Rock, Ark., he said that despite his wealth, “I identify with people that need help.” Democratic vice presidential nom inee Lloyd Bentsen was on vacation in Wyoming. In Boston, Bush contended that as governor Dukakis opposed and delayed cleaning up the harbor and had sought permission f rom the En vironmental Protection Agency to Rules of margarita drinking invented by Texas woman SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A real Margarita is served on the rocks, not blended with ice to a slusln ha/e. It is rimmed with salt and made with a combination of tequila, lime juice and Cointreau (the Triple Net used in many versions makes it too sweet). It’s served in a stemmed glass that's wider than a wine glass, hut not as wide as a champagne saucer. 1 hose are the t itles of a true Mar garita according to the think s cre ator. Margarita Sanies of San Anto nio. Although others in California and Mexico have laid claim to developing the drink, one of the most widelv ac cepted versions of the origin of the tequila drink is that Sanies created it for her parties about 40 vears ago. “I did create the chink in the 1940s when my husband and I lived in a home in Acapulco." savs Sanies, who to this dav splits her residcTK \ between San Antonio and Mexico City. Despite her penchant f or avoiding publicity (she didn't want her pic ture taken), the story of her invention of the drink was spread through l edcK Stauffer, who’s known as "Mr. Aca pulco “To tell you the truth. .1 simply got bored w ith the regular, accepted davtiiue drinks, the Moods Mars s and screwdrisers, and 1 began playing around at the bar and came up w ith “The Drink,' as it was called for a Jong time al- terward. ” — Margarita Sanies cocktail tradition ih.ii prodded ht i to develop a cliHerein ch ink.

Engine type on Flight 1141 has highly respected record AUSTIN (AP) — Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines, svhich powered the Delta Air Lines jet that crashed Wednesday at Dallas-Fort Worth In ternational Airport, dominate their field and are used as a yardstick for other aircraft powerplants, officials said. Recordings of cockpit conversa tions on Deltai Flight 1141 before the accident revealed discussions of en gine problems and noises indicating a stall may have been imminent, Na tional Transportation Safety Board member Lee Dickinson said in Dallas Thursday. Despite the focus on the JTSD’s as a possible cause of the crash — and two 1985 accidents blamed in part on them — the engines are highly respected. “It’s still one of the very best in the industry,” Jay Pardee, manager of the Federal Aviation Administra tion’s engine certification office in Burlington, Mass., said of the en gines. Witnesses who saw Flight 1141 plummet to the runway on Wednes day reported seeing flames stream ing from the engines just before the crash. Pratt 8c Whitney spokesman Da vid Long said his company has deliv ered nearly 12,000 of the engines since they were approved by the FAA in 1964. They are used by 350 airlines, governments and corpora tions around the world, and are more widely utilized than all other commercial jet engines combined, he said. All Boeing 727s — f light 1141 was a 727 — use three of the engines mounted on the rear of the aircraft. They are also used on many Boeing 737s and McDonnell Douglas DC-9s. Pratt 8c Whitney estimates they have flown more than 400 million hours in nearly a quarter century of serv ice. James P. McFadden, aerospace analyst for Merrill Lynch Capital Markets in New York, said, “For an engine to be around for 25 years says a lot about its acceptance.” Pardee said the engines are so re liable that the government uses the frequency rate with which they break down in flight as the benchmark against which new engines are mea sured. Long said that so far this year, the J I HD’s have shut down in flight 0.012 times per 1,000 hours of flight. According to Pardee, some en gines have been known to shut down one or two times per 1,000 hours of flight. “It’s a goal we require all new tech nologies to meet,” Pardee said of the JT8D performance statistics. Problems with the JT8D have been blamed by government officials as contributing to two major air acci dents, both of which occurred in 1985. In August 1985 at Manchester, England, the engine’s combustion chamber cracked and burned through and was blamed for an acci dent involving a British AirTours aircraft. The takeoff was aborted, but 55 people died when (he plane caught fire. The accident sparked widespread inspections of combustion chambers of older, high-use JT8D engines as well as a requirement for more f re quent inspections to check for cracks. delay a ban on dumping wastes J the harbor.
