...glorious Sunday morning, three intrepid non-believers asked: What could be a better way to chase away that unclean feeling after a night of sin and debauchery than to immerse ourselves in the glory of gospel music? And so we set out to see the light, venturing into new territory, looking for some down-home food and inspiring singing, rather like one would find in a rousing scene from Sister...
...Then Cook returned to England - and Moore went to Hollywood. In 1978, he got his foot in stardom's door - in perhaps 20 minutes of screen time - with his exuberant turn as Stanley Tibbets, the sublimely ridiculous swinger who thinks he's netted Goldie Hawn, in the Hawn-Chevy Chase comedy "Foul Play."

Most of the century's first women in Congress were political widows such as Margaret Chase Smith, the legendary Republican Senator from Maine who succeeded her husband and took on Joe McCarthy. The first woman elected to the Senate was Arkansas's Hattie Wyatt Caraway who was appointed to fill her husband's term in 1932 and was elected on her own later that year. Edith Wilson effectively...
