Five Sisters. In the Daly family of Fond du Lac, such activity is standard. Chi-Chi's sister Marguerite, 32, is a top Chicago model. Kathleen, 29, is a high-salaried Manhattan ad executive (Revlon, Maiden Form) and Maureen, 27, is the author of the perennial bestseller Seventeenth Slimmer and a Ladies' Home Journal editor.

Her dietary secret: eating just what the President does, but passing up the salt...
