By the time he finished his long-winded nomination speech for Michael S. Dukakis at the 1988 Democratic National Convention, Bill Clinton knew he had bombed. After all, the audience was chanting, "Get off, get off." "Had I been Bill at that point," said Samuel Berger, an adviser who was backstage, "I would have gone out and dug the deepest hole I could and buried myself."

I have been asked by this paper to pay homage to Russell Baker, the Grand Old Man of American Humor Columnists. Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of his first column, which brought so much joy and happiness to millions of readers. Every humor writer in America can remember exactly what he or she was doing the moment they met Russ Baker. I was 10 years old and watching the Hindenburg zeppelin land in New Jersey. I noticed off to one side a tall lanky man chewing on a piece of straw. I recognized him immediately because he was wearing his familiar trademark, a black patch over his left eye. I went up to him and blurted out: "Mr. Baker, I hope to follow in your footsteps when I grow up. To what do you attribute your success as a humorist?" He tousled my hair and grinned, "I never met a man I didn't like."

The Maytag Corporation said today that second-quarter net income rose 24 percent, despite slightly lower sales. Maytag's earnings were $23.3 million, or 22 cents a share, up from $18.8 million, or 18 cents a share, a year earlier. Results in the 1991 quarter reflected a $10 million charge from the closing of a vending equipment plant. The maker of home appliances and vending equipment said second-quarter revenue was hurt by declining European sales. Revenue was $770.1 million for the quarter, compared with $777.6 million. The company's stock fell 25 cents, to $15.75, in trading today on the New York Stock Exchange.

R. H. Macy & Company and its lenders amended the retailer's bank loans, expecting lower sales this fall. "Both Macy and the bankers wanted to plan very conservatively for the fall," a Macy spokesman said. The amended $600 million loan agreement cuts Macy's required earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to $10 million from $70 million for the quarter ending Oct. 31. For the quarter ending in January, which includes the Christmas selling season, the earning requirement is cut to $130 million from $150 million. Macy filed under the bankruptcy laws in January.

The Mitsubishi Motors Corporation's Diamond-Star Motors unit and the United Automobile Workers have begun to negotiate a new contract. The current three-year agreement expires on Aug. 27, and Mitsubishi officials said they were confident a pact could be reached before then for the 2,500 workers who produce small sports coupes and sedans at the Normal, Ill., plant. Diamond-Star began in 1985 as a 50-50 joint venture of Mitsubishi and the Chrysler Corporation. In October 1991, Chrysler sold its share to Mitsubishi for $99.8 million.
