Adopting the slogan, "A Fat Man for Lean Times," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54 kicks off his reelection campaign. Several advisers privately recommend that he not announce his candidacy from the bridge at Chappaquiddick. "Nonsense," Ted replies. "It will get lots of publicity...
...Edna's place, and damn if she didn't make 'em feel right welcome. The girls were plenny good-lookin' and didn't misbehave unless you paid 'em extra. And if you misbehaved, there was old TJ Hournoy-the town's lean, mean sheriff- to set you straight or th'ow you out. Why, 'most everybody in La Grange thought Edna's was a real community asset.

The C.F.A. refuses to register Ragdolls because it feels they are not genetically unique. The Rex resembles a rat with a 1940s permanent wave. Small, lean and docile, these little kings are bred without a topcoat (guard hairs) and have a downy, curly undercoat. The Russian Blue, which originated in Archangel in northern Russia, is a thick-coated, green-eyed, gray-blue cat of some popularity. Blues are shy, retiring and fond of winter. The Siamese came to the ancient...
