NODINE'S GAMBIT?
"Only 50-years-old, former two-term Mobile City Councilman John Peavy left public office more than a decade ago. Yet his political career stretches back to an unsuccessful, albeit politically promising, bid to unseat former City Commissioner Gary A. Greenough. Peavy said he would welcome a return to his old District 7 post at City Hall if a vacancy occurs there.
Incumbent Councilman Stephen Nodine is campaigning for County Commission, District 2. Should incumbent Commissioner Freeman Jockisch be forced out of office in connection with his state and federal indictments stemming from financial irregularities at his fire sprinkler business, Nodine could conceivably join the commission through a gubernatorial appointment well before the next County Commission takes the oath of office in January, 2005, thereby opening up Peavy's old post."

DID IKE AND ALIENS MEET?
"The question remains: Did Ike really meet with extra-terrestials 50 years ago?"
Just to make things more intriguing: On the night in question, the Associated Press reported this: "Pres. Eisenhower died tonight of a heart attack in Palm Springs."
Two minutes later, the AP retracted that bulletin and reported that Ike was still alive.
