government election
workers from Egypt, here in
Michigan to observe the U.S.
electoral process.
"It's been very interesting
for us to be here," Atf Sakr
said. "In Egypt we do not
have a primary process. We
instead go right for the gen-
eral election. But one thing
that seems to be the same is
that you need to have money
to run and win."
The scene in the
Honigman house would have
been a perfect episode for the
yuppie television drama
"thirtysomething." As the
theme song from the popular
show came across the living
room television, one couldn't
help but draw a parallel
between the show and the
evening's events. Here was a
successful candidate, well
tanned with a shock of blond
hair, hugging his supportive
wife in the wood-grained
comfort of their suburban
home. And when the results
were announced, the can-
didate was toasted with
bottles of mineral water and
Corona beer.
"This is exciting, because
you feel the nervousness
your friend is going
through," campaign sup-
porter Larry Lipnik of
Southfield said.
Joann Honigman, the can-
didate's wife, managed to
expend her nervous energy
by making sure that food
and drink was well
distributed and by shaking
hands, kissing and holding
about 20 different conversa-
tions a minute with well
wishers.
"A lot of hard work went
into this," Mrs. Honigman
said. "You always worry
about what's going to
happen. But there was a lot
of good feeling going into
this evening."
The party received an
honored guest when Repub-
lican gubernatorial winner,
John Engler, came to con-
gratulate Mr.. Honigman.
And while Mr. Engler cap-
tured hundreds of thousands
of votes and Mr. Honigman
would be fortunate to hit five
figures, at this particular
time in this particular house
in West Bloomfield, the
night belonged to the
Honigmans.
The mood wasn't as festive
at the Machus Red Fox on
Telegraph in Birmingham,
where Ms. Miller, poised and
friendly, waited for the out-
come with a few supporters.
The Miller camp talked
about everything but
politics, with many eyes
glued to the television
screen where the Tigers
were losing to the Toronto
Blue Jays. Another televi-
sion was spared for election
results.
In Southfield, the La
Mirage Mall was bustling as
Southfield City Council
Member Denise Alexander
announced her primary vic-
tory in the race for 15th
state senate. Now she will
face longtime Democratic
Sen. Jack Faxon in a race
she expects will be tough.
Perhaps the evening's big-
gest political power play did
not come at the hands of any
politician. That happened
when a television reporter
and cameraman had many of
the remaining Alexander
supporters wave her red,
white and blue banners and
yell in the background while
they interviewed Mr. Engler
in front of them. Ms. Alex-
ander was forced to play the
role of extra.
But Ms. Alexander knew
that the only person who can
now steal the show from her
is Mr. Faxon in November.
"We're elated, and now we
know we have a great deal of
work ahead of us," she said.
"I can remember 20 years
ago I worked in a campaign
of a Jewish politician who
was facing another Jewish
politician. And now I'm go-
ing to be in that position,
also."
Deborah Tyner also had
something to celebrate. The
attorney, making her first
bid for a judicial post, led a
list of six candidates seeking
two new circuit court posi-
tions. The four top finishers
will be placed on the Nov. 6
ballot. ❑

Kuwait) refocuses the issues
in the Middle East that the
real threats there are
totalitarianism and dic-
tatorships," Mr. Aronson
said. "The Israel-Palestinian
issue, while an important
one, is not the central
destabilizing issue in the
Middle East."
Lamya Shihadee, the ex-
ecutive director for the
Arab/American Anti-
Discrimination Committee,'
agreed there are no prob-
lems locally among the
groups.
"Why bring your wars
here?" Ms. Shihadee said.
"Israel and Iraq are not at
war. Jews and Arabs are
businessmen. If they bring
their wars here, do you think
anything would get done?
No."
