Rios also posted a 6.41 time in the 55-meter hurdles to place first in that event...
That may be a reflection of how things are beginning to change at home. Although married men do only about 30% of the housework today, according to Joseph Pleck, professor of families, change and society at Wheaton College, two decades ago they did just 20%.

...seat on the FHLBB for his friend and business associate Henkel (Keating had lent more than $60 million to businesses in which Henkel was part owner) by lobbying former White House chief of staff Donald Regan. Henkel's stint on the board lasted only five months. Although he was cleared of any wrongdoing, he resigned after the Justice Department and the FHLBB investigated his first official act: a motion that would have specifically benefited Keating by exempting Lincoln from direct-investment limits...
