Catalina sailboat, the Miss Behaving III, on the Great Salt Lake. A consultant with a contract to distribute high-end data communications systems for Motorola's Codex Corp., Janus says that "the boat's especially nice during the heavy winter snows. Or if there's a great sunset on a Sunday evening, I can just stay on board until Monday morning." It is also as useful...
...Much Love") winces as he is mercilessly compared to the Pillsbury Doughboy. Cheryl, Nancy and Kim are simultaneously horrified that Dan has no idea which of them said he "started kissing my lips and worked his way down." Morris ecstatically hugs Joanna after they win a date to Catalina Island. Laurie fights back tears. She picked Morris...
