Both Presley and Jackson, who recently demonstrated their obviously genuine affection for each other in one of Jackson's music videos, denied they'd split (and the boys' father said Jackson was just an old family friend).

And that was an aberration: spending has exceeded revenues in 34 of the past 35 years-though the red ink did not become truly frightening until excessive tax cuts and accelerated defense spending were enacted during Ronald Reagan's presidency...
