...from a friend, Massachusetts Liquor Distributor A. Raymond Tye. But Brooke had not reported the loan in his financial report to the U.S. Senate. Actually, no such loan existed; Brooke admitted that it was a "misstatement." He had borrowed only $2,000 from Tye. The rest came from his mother-in-law's insurance settlement. In an attempt to end the controversy, he handed Perera a check two weeks ago for $30,193, which he said he owed to his mother-in-law's estate, and asked the judge to decide where it should go. Among the claimants...
Last week Perera made no mention of the check in rapping Brooke's knuckles for his "mistake" in mingling his mother-in-law's money with his own and for "inadequate and careless bookkeeping."

In a four-minute Muslim ceremony at the palace of Hussein's mother, the blue-suited groom, 42, and his Dior-and-diamond-bedecked bride, 26, exchanged vows in Arabic. Those present, all male according to Islamic practice, included Lisa's father, former Pan Am Chief Najeeb Halaby...
...sneakers. Midge Costanza knows how to dress for success. In fact, President Carter's aide stole the show last week at a fund raiser for the Women's National Democratic Club. The "political fashion show" at Washington's Arena Stage featured Caron Carter dressed as her mother-in-law and Louisiana Representative Lindy Boggs as Lady Bird Johnson. Costanza's role: Amelia Bloomer, the 19th century suffragist who, by defending women's pantaloons, gave bloomers their name.
