Morgan Fairchild and life goals
By BILLY MURPHY
Laugh Lines

I saw Morgan Fairchild in person. It was not too long ago when I was at Philips Arena for a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young concert. There she was, walking by, backstage, larger than life. She was the figurative equal in size to the literal David Crosby. As highlights go in a life half-lived so far, it will be tough to equal the event of seeing Morgan Fairchild in person.

Sleep tight, F'ville; our town will be gone when you finally wake up

Recently I've read some of the letters that people have been writing about the possibility of overcrowding in Fayetteville. It would seem that some residents are concerned about the development taking place around us.

"Almost single-handedly handed"? "Lost so big"? "Finally their real message is finally getting through"? If Mr. De Marino is a free-lance writer, I take it the emphasis is on free, because no one I know is likely to buy his putrid pandering pantomime.
