Candidate for 1978's most needed Christmas present: a piggy bank containing $29.84 sent to Dennis Kucinich, mayor of bankrupt Cleveland. Most useful present: a leather-covered toolbox, complete with screwdrivers and toenail clippers, given to buxom, blond-wigged Country Singer Dolly Parton, who says her new toolbox is "very feminine looking" and filled with "things I can use on the road." Most jovially received present: a pound of bacon, presented by reporters to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance before they all landed at Andrews Air Force Base last week. Said the correspondent chosen to hand over the pork...
...that women wearing nothing but loosely buttoned men's shirts three sizes too large for them, or women who irresponsibly knock over lamps, smash holes in shipbottoms, who make themselves a general and continual pain are excusable if--and only if--they possess enough sex appeal in their baby toenail to put an army of men on the scent for months. Beyond the purely visual level, Deneuve's appeal lies in the certain restlessness perceivable in her every move, the untameable craziness that forces her to stop at nothing--stealing, biting and screaming--to get what she wants...

I go to UHS when I think I have a sore throat, the flu, or an infection under a toenail of my left foot. According to the enlightened standards of UHS, none of the above is a particularly accurate assessment of my bodily ailments. Instead, I am pregnant, about to become pregnant, confused about my sexuality, or too timid to ask for contraception...
...particular rivals. With a little luck, a studious and conservative gambler can keep in the black. There is scant danger of fixed races because the dogs are put in an elaborate security area called "the lockout room" well before each run. While in lockout, their color, markings and even toenail tint are compared with the characteristics listed on the dogs' birth certificates, thus assuring that ringers cannot run under false names...
