...should not be devalued as a possible romantic partner simply because of age. The media's shift from an emphasis on only the very young woman as sexually exciting is noteworthy, but does it really signal or promote a change in attitudes toward women? Joan Collins, Vicki LaMotta, and other mentioned are all "older" women who look like thirty-year-olds; Joan Collins may be able to find the "few lines" she mentions when she looks into her bathroom mirror in the morning, but they certainly don't appear on the pages of Playboy...

The multimillionaire former head of Diners Club was part of Ronald Reagan's "kitchen cabinet," and his widow Betsy is a close friend of Nancy Reagan's.

There is no evidence of a conspiracy behind Morgan's sad, shabby death. But the prosecution's case against Pancoast is far from ironclad. Beyond his now repudiated confession, there is no hard evidence. A strong motive has not been established, and the investigation of the case was strikingly inept. The police neglected to seal off the scene of the crime and did not recover...
