Since the Coolidge Administration (1923-29), according to The Stock Trader's Almanac, stocks have gained an average of 14.5% in year three of a presidency and 7.7% in year four vs. less than 6% in year one and year two.

A luscious babe SNAFU meets at a bar is seen noting his indiscretions on a tiny typewriter under the table; another babe's breasts are tape-recorder reels emblazoned with...
...winning the ground war is not enough. Fighting crime on a college campus means more than just putting criminals behind bars—though that itself is a tall order. In addition to protecting students from assailants who lurk on Cambridge’s streets, Riley must provide a sense of security for students who have been rattled by the assault wave...
