Meanwhile, the incoming administration has indicated that the increase is only a placeholder until a comprehensive new strategy can be developed for the region. (See pictures of Afghanistan...
...Edie Adams, 81, starred in two Broadway shows (Wonderful Town and Li'l Abner), played the Fairy Godmother to Julie Andrews' Cinderella in a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical for TV and hawked Muriel Cigars ("Why don't you pick one up and smoke it some time?").

As Cinderella evolves from dreamy chamber-maiden into social royalty, she progresses, with thrilling parallelism, from soft canvas slippers to Swarovski-encrusted pointe shoes. The resulting three-act trajectory surely served as the first foray into the world of tutus and tiaras for many wide-eyed girls in the audience...
