...FUNNY about this one from the start. It began innocently enough; somebody arranged an interview, and somebody else found the promo record. If I had to put my finger on it, it was the record that first gave the show away. Some ingenious record company executive had pasted a sticker to the cellophane wrapping, a sticker graced by Stanley Clarke's evaluation of Diana Hubbard's music. There is only one problem.

Their reason for putting a grip on Ham was Jordan's failure to pay $110 worth of parking tickets he has accumulated since last August.

Believing that Congress should not simply oppose, Moffett is also pushing his own plan to force every driver to choose one day a week on which he would keep his car or cars in the garage. The motorist would get a windshield sticker identifying the day he chose not to drive; if caught on the road on the forbidden day, he would be subject to arrest and a fine...
