...longer the sacred union it was in the past. I agree that one important way to avoid a divorce is to prevent a bad marriage from taking place. I like the idea of counseling before a license is issued. If couples truly believe they will be married "till death do us part," they may be more careful about making a commitment. And once married, in a situation where it is not as easy to bail out, more couples would try to work through their problems. Way to go, Louisiana! Pave the way for the other 49 states to follow.

Alas, Straight On Till Morning is an aggressively mediocre album. The problem with Four was that its two great songs were islands in a sea of banality, and the new record suffers from the same inconsistency. It starts off well with a stirring workout called Carolina Blues, but the rest of the album is long on harmonica solos and short on melodies.

Brennan went on to serve through eight presidencies, remaining a force on the bench till he retired in 1990, when its composition had been stacked against him. A tip of the hat, then, to President Eisenhower for his error...

...could she have known who played Dynasty's Alexis Carrington Colby? Or had time to care? Till she was 14, Jewel Kilcher grew up in an unelectrified log cabin on an 800-acre homestead near Homer, Alaska. Her father Atz Kilcher was a folk singer, the son of a Swiss immigrant to Alaska who helped write the state charter (Grandpa Kilcher still tools around occasionally in his horse and buggy in Homer, scaring the residents). Her mother Nedra Carroll also sang and dabbled in other crafts. When Jewel was eight, her parents divorced, and her mother left for Anchorage. Jewel...
