In September, Sheritf
Charlie Logan (Pickett County,
Tenn.) resigned, telling the
public that he needed to fight
the charges that he had been
having sex with a 15-year-old
girl, However, according to
some observers, that was a dis-
traction ior another charge: the
‘Tennessee Burean of
Investigation was inquiring
into whether Logan cheated on
his GED (high school equiva-
lency test).

The Loneliest Number:
Randy Phillips graduated from
Riverside Christian Schoo! in
Andalusia, Towa, in May, the
only member of his class. (For
his senior wip, he invited two
juniors along.) And an
Associated Press report in
August on Granby, Vt. (popu-
lation 90), noted that the town
had only one reported crime
the previous year: Somcone
wrote a farmer a $300 check
for six piglets, bur it bounced,
and no one can find the man.

People with too much time
on their hands: Celebrity
mother Jacqueline Stallone,
previously known as a mere
astrologer, recently began spe-
cializing in “rumpology,” the
study of a person’s character
and future, based on the con-
tour of his or her butt. Stallone
does not conduct hands-on
examinations, but rather gets.
subjects to sit on sheets of
inked paper and make impres-
sions (maps). The lett cheek
supposedly indicates natural
talents and personality; the
right cheek shows reality versus
potential.
