Alioto has the support of old-line Democrat Mayor Shelley for the officially nonpartisan office, but Jack Morrison, 45, has split the party by winning the support of the liberal wing.

She carries on an endless correspondence with her family, loves to have a good blub over their letters. To relieve the Manhattany, she often cooks up an enormous meal?one of her favorites is a lamb casserole crammed with raisins, garlic, apples, onions and lemons. She downs yoghurt by the pint, and has been heard to hail a taxi by imitating the shriek of a pewit?which she learned from a Northumbrian shepherd when she was nine years...
