The provocative new show that probes the bitter conflicts unraveling the fiber of modern marriage. Conflicting careers. Domi- neering in -laws. Confrontations over money. The pressures of parenting. "Strictly Confidential" is about the real problems real people face. From the stresses and strains of everyday life to the controver- sial, sometimes shocking issues rarely discussed. Only "Strictly Confidential" dramatizes actual case files of renowned psychotherapist Dr. Susan Forward, bestselling author and host of her own ABC Talkradio program. With her sensitive and supportive advice, each personal crisis is discussed, worked through and re- solved in a unique and compelling half -hour drama. But even more importantly, these valuable insights allow viewers to apply the benefits of professional counseling to their own lives. Produced by Peter Locke and Donald Kushner, the dynamic team behind the extraordinary success of "Divorce Court," "Strictly Confidential" goes beyond the courtroom to deliver the same kind of phenomenal audience appeal.

Our morning activity was the Buffalo Bicycle “Wing Tour” - and yes, we all traveled around on bikes, even our advisors – they made sure they didn’t lose any students by bringing up the rear. Our afternoon activity in Buffalo was a visit to the Buffalo Zoo. The Buffalo Zoo has some of the world's most exotic, endangered, and even local wildlife! But then again, so does the WCS Class of 2021!! We then made a stop for Ice Cream . Mrs. Tronetti has taught us that Ice Cream makes everything better!! We ended our day in Buffalo at the Walden Galleria where we shopped ‘til we dropped and then had dinner at Dave & Busters. This must be what heaven is like because we could Eat & Play at the same time!! It’s amazing to discover how competitive the folks you’ve been in school with all these years are over a game!! The WCS Class of 2021 would like to thank the Whitesville Community for supporting all their fundraisers throughout the years which enabled us to create Memories for a Lifetime as we all spread our wings and get ready to fly .

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

    A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (Guest Post)*

    “A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (guest post)* Garrison Keillor “Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, my hometown, out on the edge of the prairie.” On July 6, 1974, before a crowd of maybe a dozen people (certainly less than 20), a live radio variety program went on the air from the campus of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. It was called “A Prairie Home Companion,” a name which at once evoked a sense of place and a time now past--recalling the “Little House on the Prairie” books, the once popular magazine “The Ladies Home Companion” or “The Prairie Farmer,” the oldest agricultural publication in America (founded 1841). The “Prairie Farmer” later bought WLS radio in Chicago from Sears, Roebuck & Co. and gave its name to the powerful clear channel station, which blanketed the middle third of the country from 1928 until its sale in 1959. The creator and host of the program, Garrison Keillor, later confided that he had no nostalgic intent, but took the name from “The Prairie Home Cemetery” in Moorhead, MN. His explanation is both self-effacing and humorous, much like the program he went on to host, with some sabbaticals and detours, for the next 42 years. Origins Gary Edward “Garrison” Keillor was born in Anoka, MN on August 7, 1942 and raised in nearby Brooklyn Park. His family were not (contrary to popular opinion) Lutherans, instead belonging to a strict fundamentalist religious sect known as the Plymouth Brethren.
