...right: "By the cigars they smoke ... ye shall know the texture of men's souls." But Mondale will not allow the camera when he lights up or even just chews a bit on a fragrant Montecruz No. 55. "It makes Fritz look like a politician," declared Joan Mondale a few years back. Heaven's sakes, Joan, what...
...past the age of 35 should not be devalued as a possible romantic partner simply because of age. The media's shift from an emphasis on only the very young woman as sexually exciting is noteworthy, but does it really signal or promote a change in attitudes toward women?

But when the speaker is Joan Collins, 50, one cannot help wondering: Is her television alter ego, Alexis Carrington, merely engaging once again in deceitful discourse for the sake of her own naughty ends? Not this time. The scene is from Blondes vs Brunettes, an ABC-TV special to be aired next week, which features TV's brunet queen meanie, Collins, and Morgan Fairchild, 34, a blond TV vixen. In one skit...
