...advice on money, love and marriage to 85 million readers each day as Ann Landers. "I cannot imagine a job that could have provided me with more satisfaction or a better opportunity to touch the lives of so many people," she wrote on the anniversary. Then last week the columnist was named (along with two Nobel prizewinners) among five recipients of the 1985 Albert Lasker medical research and public service awards. Mary Lasker, 84, who with her late husband Albert established the prestigious honors 40 years ago, presented Landers with a statuette and a $15,000 honorarium...

DIED. Joseph Kraft, 61, syndicated political columnist whose incisive views and access to world leaders made his prose must reading in the nation's capital and beyond for more than 20 years; of heart disease; in Washington. After working at the Washington Post and the New York Times in the 1950s, he became a speech writer for 1960 Presidential Candidate John Kennedy and in 1963 launched his thrice-weekly column.
