...just stay married. Then the Corny Card Companies could continue as always and not have to worry about modernizing. My grandparents' 50th wedding anniversay is this month, but golden Corny Cards are too expensive. So they'll have to settle for a Corny Column instead. Happy Anniversary, Ida and Jack...
Those who continue to back contra funding criticized the awarding of the ) peace prize as premature.

Jack Kemp has been grooming himself for the role of high priest of the Reaganite church, but he has been unable to rise above the status of altar boy. Kemp revealed last week that he has borrowed against his federal matching funds (due in January) for the second time, a telling indication of his failure to rally the true believers. And in Iowa, Kemp is in danger of being...
