American Greetings' In Touch line has the bluntest, quirkiest of the cards, including a sincere but somewhat wimpy message from a jilted lover ("Everyone tells me I'll get over it . . . but how could they ever begin to know how much I loved you?"), a modified zinger to get a friend to back off ("I want to please you, but first I have to please myself"), and a cryptic note aimed at intimates who apparently intend to conduct the rest of their relationship over the phone ("More than anything, it's the eye contact I'll miss...

Said he, spotting Barrett in the press crush: "Well, the soap opera won." Kramer swept five major prizes in the 52nd Academy Awards show. "I'm trying to hear the question over my heartbeat," cooed Meryl Streep, Best Supporting Actress as Ms. Kramer. Complimented on her Trigère gown, Streep, who is Mrs. Don Gummer in real life, blushingly swept...
