call of Mayor Dennis J. Kucin-
ich after a debate in which none
of its members sided with the
beleaguered mayor
The closest thing to support
for Kucinich came from some
party members who argued at
Thursday night’s meeting that a
recall would be divisive.
The mayor, who has stirred
controversy with, among other
things, his dismissal of a police
chief and statements during a
strike by city police, did not ap-
pear at the meeting, nor did he
send a representative.
Instead, Kucinich, in a letter
to party Chairman Timothy F.
Hagan, said the party should
not take a position
“The recall election is not
partisan," wrote Kucinich, who
has attacked the Democratic
organization in the past. "There
are no candidates as such. No
political party has a legitimate
reason to become involved in
the recall."

"I’ll work alone. Nothing
original in that? One man, one

Neat and tidy and it shouldn’t
take that much additional
time."
According to Drummond’s
notes, a publisher told him
"real crime is in. Son of Sam
sells.”
Drummond wrote that the
Son-of-Sam style crime is "too
easy, too safe, but three banks
is a challenge.”
“Son of Sam” was the name
used by convicted killer David
Berkowitz as he murdered six

DEAR EXPECTING: Tell your mother-in-law that YOU
aren’t superstitious, and you prefer to be prepared for the
healthy baby you have every reason to believe you will
have. Then go abend and prepare, and good inch.
DEAR WIFE: If the most you can do is “tremble” when
your husband rinks the lives of his family ss well as his
own and strangers’-: you have s bigger problem than you
think.
Call the traffic division of your local police department
and report the boob. Give them his license number, and the
description of his car, and let them know approximately
when and where they can find him. Of course, they can’t
touch him until they catch him breaking the law, but if he
drives as you say be does, they’D soon nab him.

DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law is so superstitious it’s
not even funny. I don’t mind if she believes in all those
crazy old-fashioned superstitions, but now she’s starting in
on me!
I have been married for seven years, and I’m expecting
my first baby in October, and this crepe-hanger
mother-in-law of mine keeps insisting that it is “bad luck”
to buy even a rattle for the baby until it gets here. (She
says “the devil" might be displeased if I talk too much
about my good luck—and something might happen.)
I am furious, Abby. Some of my friends want to give me
a baby shower, but with all this silly superstitious talk, I’m
afraid to let them.
I am healthy as a horse and would like to prepare for this
baby I’ve waited so long for, but I hate to go behind my
mother-in-law’s back.
What should I do?

DEAR ABBY: I’ve never seen this problem in print
before, but you have no idea how much it means to those of
us who are faced with it.
My husband thinks his car is a plaything. It is
unbelievable how immature he becomes when he gets
behind the wheel.
For example, hel pick out a car on the road and try to
“race" with it. Or hell drive with no hands on the wheel,
and steer with his KNEES. Or if he sees a pedestrian
slowly crossing the street, hell speed up and aim his car
right at him and stop abruptly to “scare" him. He also tries
to frighten other drivers by seeing how close he can come
to them without actually hitting them. Believe me, we’ve
had some pretty close calls.
He even does these things when our three
impressionable youngsters are in the car, and they seem to
enjoy it. If I say one word to him, he flies into a rage, so I
just sit there and tremble in silence.
cimaaeas Qllev,
DEAR ABBY: What would you do if your husband came
home with lipstick on his shirt, trousers, underwear and
some on his neck, too? Also, Sheldon has hairs on his coat,
and they were a color like nobody in our family has. (Looks
like a redhead.)
I questioned him, and he swore up and down he didn’t
know how any of this stuff got there.
Sheldon works in an office with just one woman. I've
never met her, but he says she's as homely as a mud fence.
I want to trust him, but with all this evidence, how can I?
