...first attempt at this new approach to humor came together in "Your Issue" in 1976. I he idea, McCormack says, was "this is your magazine with your jokes and your ideas, and if it sucks, it's your fault...
...critics fault the building for its failure to blend with its neighbors, especially the colonnaded City/County Building, built in 1911, and the Richard J. Daley Center, a Miesian steel high-rise completed in 1965. They also charge that it is too frivolous for a government office.

...mass only 14 1/2 times as great, has a liquid core. Some scientists speculate, however, that the magnetic field may be generated by an electrically charged ocean covering the planet. Some of the larger moons apparently have, or at one time had, crustal movements that created the fault zones and valleys evident in the Voyager photographs. Geologist Laurence Soderblom, for one, was surprised at what he called "the degree of geological activity on the Uranian satellites." Along some of the faults on Titania, he said, "some sort of material is leaking out of fractures and perhaps freezing on the surface...
What conclusions are these TV treatises reaching about the family problems they tackle? One message is distressingly familiar: Mom and Dad, more often than not, are at fault.

"She is a demanding person in that she knows what she wants, she wants the best and she wants it right now," says the presidential aide. "If there's a fault in there, it's that she doesn't take the time to coax things out of people. She demands." "She does get obsessive about detail," says Son Ron. "That is part of her personality. It's like her worrying." Naturally, she is most obsessive and fretful about the President...
