...moment the divisions within the party. "Most of us are big enough to look beyond schisms in the past and look toward defeating Reagan," said Alabama State Senator Michael Figures, a Jackson supporter. "Jesse's message helps Mondale immensely." In a Gallup poll released last week by the Joint Center for Political Studies, 88% of blacks said they would vote for Mondale...
Despite that impressive figure, their tax returns for the past six years show that Zaccaro and his wife may not have had much money to spare after maintaining three joint residences, plus her separate apartment in Washington, and putting three children through private schools. Over the past five years, they paid an average of 40% of their gross income annually in taxes, leaving them an average $103,035 in combined yearly income.

When Ferraro and Zaccaro filed their last joint tax return in April 1979 (they have since filed separately), they substantially underestimated the profit on the building sale.

Dr. James Nicholas, director of the Lenox Hill Institute of Sports Medicine in New York, calls the knee the body's most vulnerable joint, "the most complicated and the least suited to perform what it is asked to do." Ligaments joining the femur and tibia wrap around the knee to keep the bones together; the only cushion between these bones is two thin bands of cartilaginous tissue called menisci. Unlike the shoulder...
