- <p>By Janice Castro/Reported by Wendy Cole
- </p>
- <p>FIRST PUNDIT
- </p>
- <p> Both commentator Pat Buchanan and humor columnist Dave
- Barry are running for President. It's time for a Draft Ann
- Landers movement. Listen, Cookie, hard-pressed Americans could
- use some practical advice.
- </p>
- <p>LEFT-COAST POLITICS
- </p>
- <p> Malibu now counts whales and dolphins as citizens. Santa
- Cruz is considering an ordinance to protect working slobs
- against "appearance discrimination," and San Francisco may
- follow suit. Expect the corporate exodus from California to
- reach landslide proportions.
- </p>
- <p>POLICE BLOTTER
- </p>
- <p> Inspired by sexual-harassment laws, a Montana statute
- outlaws hunter harassment by animal-rights activists. Coming
- soon: harasser harassment.
- </p>
- <p>POLITICAL LINGO
- </p>
- <p> Primaries used to winnow out the weaker candidates. But
- this year some Democrats hope their candidates can "winnow in,"
- that is, earn respect by hanging around. Our advice: Call Ann
- Landers.
- </p>
- <p>COLLECTOR OVERDOSE
- </p>
- <p> The trading boom in baseball cards has given us series
- featuring soap stars, Desert Storm heroes, rabbis, drug-sniffing
- dogs, fugitives and now a new 196-card set picturing missing
- children. What next? Broken hearts? Top 10 organ transplants?
- </p>
- <p>APPEARANCES
- </p>
- <p> Fashion magazines are sprouting models who look like
- actual women. Cosmetics makers are pushing the "real" look. Get
- ready for the Tammy Faye Bakker backlash.
