They show off your boobs." Lara, a midget Sophie Tucker in corduroys, seems destined to head her own Vegas lounge act. So surrender: send her to Rickles' camp and leave her there...
...money-market funds but still keeps a conventional savings account. Says he: "It's nice to know you have money in a local bank where you can touch it and see it." But Editor Taber takes a bright view of the new savings opportunities, though his daughter Lara, 10, may not. Lara deposited all her savings ($9.81) and a $25 parental loan to ensure the required minimum balance in a local bank one year ago.
