A poll by Dario Moreno, a political scientist at Florida International University in Miami, found Dole's support among mostly Cuban Latino voters in the state at 57 percent. George Bush and Ronald Reagan averaged more than 80 percent from 1980 to 1992. Dole is being hurt by "a perception that the Republican Party is insensitive to immigrants," Moreno said.

Dickson, an employee at a Johnson & Johnson cotton mill in New Jersey. Dickson had fretted as his wife, Josephine, cut herself again and again while working in the kitchen. One day while he was wrapping one of her wounds with a bulky bandage of gauze and tape, he was struck by an idea. He put some gauze on a strip of medical tape and the Band-Ai- d was born.

Michael Marcy, a member of the American Acade-- . my of Pediatrics' committee on infectious diseases.
