...nomination. Lawyers and accountants reporting to Mondale, including Sheldon Cohen, former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, examined the Ferraro and Zaccaro records and helped prepare the financial disclosure that Ferraro was obliged by law to make no later than Aug. 20. Oddly, though, Mondale and his aides admit they cannot recall asking for a specific pledge that Zaccaro would make his tax returns public. They knew that would be necessary, even though it is not required by law, and helped Ferraro draft a statement promising that it would be done; everybody seems simply to have assumed that Zaccaro would...
...sprees. One prominent editor complains that he has received arrogant letters from U.S. military officers that "sounded as if they were coming from occupation leaders."

Nevertheless, her fear of losing her orientation in mid-dive is so great that she seeks help for it from a sports psychologist who is on call to the team. Michele Mitchell, 22, missed her hand grab (divers clasp their hands as they...
...want to stand out." Having Calvin Klein's name or Gloria Vanderbilt's signature attached to the hind portion of a pair of denims is one way to stand out a little bit, but moniker flash may also be passing away. The Gloria Vanderbilt people, for example, admit guardedly that there has been a sales plunge in their basic jeans model. But as much money as they pulled down for a few seasons, designer jeans were always a joke, just a fussy vamp-usually snug around the butt and thighs-on a basic, utilitarian garment.
