Don't look now . . . but it's Friday the 13th. Says Hy Faber, "I
saw a guy this morning with a horseshoe, a four-leaf clover and a
rabbit's foot. I said, 'I don't think it's going to help, Mr.
Dole.' "

The publisher of the hit song "Soul Man" wants the Dole campaign
to quit using it as "Dole Man." * "Or maybe 'I Still Haven't Found
What I'm Looking For' . . . or 'This Old Man' . . . or 'Smoke Gets
in Your Eyes' . . . or 'The Impossible Dream.' " (Steve Tatham)
Adds Shep Shepherd, "I was talking with my father about same-sex
marriages. He said it was nothing new. . . . 'Your mother and I
have been having the same sex for 40 years.' "

O.J. says his kids are being robbed of the black experience by

habits, they'll grow up to be adults."

Reader Mary Weingart of Marina del Rey took her 4-year-old
grandson to a coffee shop for breakfast. He ordered pancakes and a
glass of chocolate milk with a straw. The cheerful waitress asked
him if he would like a booster seat. He thought for a moment, then
replied: "Well, that depends on how long the straw is."
