Since they are no longer the hip Steve and Eydie of prime-time television, Sonny and Cher have been living their lives like a daytime soap opera. Just three days after the couple's June 27 divorce, you may recall, Cher married Rock Singer Gregg Allman. Her second try at wedded bliss lasted only nine days, however, before Cher returned to court to file for another divorce. Then last week while Sonny was plugging his new solo act on NBC's Tonight Show, who should stroll onstage for a surprise visit? None other than the prodigal Cher herself...
...often two or three whores work a single room in shifts), and because the prostitute who lived there had an ice chest that was a cornucopia of beer.

...does will reach to their hillside as have the actions of the other 15 Presidents in their span. They will neither huzzah nor protest but go on about the enduring business of living, finding fulfillment in family, church and neighbors. They are not recluses or faddists. Their butter and soap come from the store. They worked the land, taught country school, and welcomed the automobile, hybrid corn and television. And what they had at any moment was always enough. The nearest interstate highway (30 miles) or urban shopping complex (80 miles) did not lure them away. They stayed-part...
