Boehlert, who turns 68 today, is recovering from successful triple coronary bypass surgery performed at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda. file photo Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.) is recovering from heart surgery. Dr. Joshua Yamamoto, a cardiologist at the Bethesda hospital, used an apt metaphor to describe the operation performed on the congressman whose district includes Baseball’s Hall of Fame. “This type of surgery is a fastball down the middle of the plate in American medicine,” Yamamoto said before Boehlert’s operation. “Following surgery, he will be stronger than ever as he recovers over the next few weeks.” Boehlert entered the hospital Thursday after heart abnormalities were discovered during an EKG test conducted by the House’s Attending Physician’s Office. Cardiac angioplasty tests at Bethesda confirmed blockage in several arteries. Boehlert’s wife, Marianne, traveled from their home in New Hartford to be with her husband. “Sherm’s heart is strong. He is resting comfortably and looking forward to getting back to work,” she said. My favorite gun: Sen. Kerry’s souvenir from Vietnam The current issue of Outdoor Life magazine asks President Bush and Sen. John Kerry what their favorite gun is. President Bush gives a stock answer of a custom-made Weatherby Athena 20-gauge. But Kerry’s answer gets a bit more interesting. “My favorite gun is the M-16 that saved my life and that of my crew in Vietnam,” he replies. “I don’t own one of those now, but one of my reminders of my service is a Communist Chinese assault rifle.” Hmm, wouldn’t such a gun be outlawed by the assault weapons ban favored by Kerry and Democrats in Congress? Yes, said Chris Cox of the National Rifle Association. “If it’s fully automatic, it’s illegal; if it’s semiautomatic, it’s illegal,” he said. Cox also told The Hill that under Massachusetts law, “private transfers are banned,” including gifts. But not so fast. The Associated Press and The New York Times reported yesterday that a Kerry spokesman said the gun is a single-bolt rifle, not an assault rifle. Cox ridiculed Kerry’s backtracking. “John Kerry is the only man in America who wears blaze orange as camouflage,” he said. “He’s either foolish, a felon or can’t get his facts straight.” The offices of Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), two of the main supporters of renewing the assault weapons ban, did not return calls seeking comment. Grooming poll: Thinner brows have it Well, this settles it. The good folks at The Grooming Lounge have informed us that Sen. John Kerry is about to go the way of his fellow Massachusetts pol, former Gov. Michael Dukakis, based on nothing more than his eyebrows. “Bushier-browed candidates have lost the popular vote in the last four presidential elections,” according to a release by the upscale men’s barbershop and spa. In fact, The Grooming Lounge is conducting a poll on its website to gauge visitors’ thoughts on the candidates’ primping habits. So far, 92 percent of respondents say Kerry has the most pronounced “eyebrows of mass destruction” of the two candidates. “In order to prevent history from repeating itself, we believe Kerry needs to have his eyebrows groomed,” said Mike Gilman, co-founder of The Grooming Lounge. “We would recommend waxing or trimming them to reduce the furriness and give Kerry a better shot at winning over the public.” In other results, 76 percent of respondents said George W. Bush has better hair than Kerry. But 64 percent think Kerry spends more time in front of the mirror in the morning than Bush. Perhaps that’s because 91 percent believe Kerry is more likely to be “stockpiling” nose-hair trimmers in his medicine cabinet. “From the grooming perspective, it appears voters are hedging a bit toward our current president,” said Gilman. We just hope the best-groomed man wins.” The survey continues through October. Why you don’t want to write to Bill Frist If his constituents want to tell Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist about their concerns, they’d better think twice before writing him a letter. The Tennessee Republican’s website warns that security restrictions put into effect in the wake of Sept. 11 and the 2001 anthrax attacks will “cause considerable delay in processing postal mail” sent to his offices. That’s an understatement. Mail addressed to his D.C. office is first sent to a processing unit in Virginia, which takes two to four days, then forwarded to Lima, Ohio, for irradiation procedures, which take 10-14 days, before being forward to another processing unit, where all non-paper contents are removed and tested. That takes between seven and 10 days for the test results, and, if the mail clears the final security hurdle, it is then delivered to Frist’s D.C. office. Since it can take up to four weeks for mail to reach Frist, his constituents may be better advised to make the drive from New Smyrna or Nashville and hand-deliver their letters. Better yet, they can e-mail him by filling out a form on his website www.frist.senate.gov or fax (202) 228-1264. Sperling, Bradlee covered Nixon-JFK debate Godfrey Sperling Jr., the former Christian Science Monitor bureau chief whose newsmaker breakfasts for print reporters have become a Washington institution since he hosted the first one with Robert F. Kennedy in 1966, will be watching this week’s first presidential debate with interest. Sperling, who turned 89 last week, will no doubt be comparing it with the very first televised debate, held between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in Chicago in 1960, which he covered, along with a young Newsweek reporter named Ben Bradlee. Asked what he wrote about the debate, Bradlee, the former executive editor of The Washington Post and now a Post Co. vice president, said, “That was 44 years ago. I don’t remember. Just put it down as brilliant reporting.” Sperling, who hosted more than 3,000 sessions with newsmakers before turning over the job last year to his successor, David Cook, turned up for breakfast with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) last Friday. He had just returned from Springfield, Ill., where his alma mater, the University of Illinois, honored him by establishing the Christian Science Monitor Sperling Fellowship for journalism graduate students. The university library is also preserving the tape recordings of more than 2,000 of Sperling’s sessions with newsmakers. Don’t forget to bring your rotten tomatoes Reps. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), Charlie Gonzalez (D-Texas.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) headline a Debate-Eve Comedy Show at the D.C. Improv on Connecticut Avenue tomorrow night. The pols are on the bill along with Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform and the Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Doors open at 7; show starts at 8. Admission is free; drinks are not. Send e-mail to thehotlineshows@comic.com to get on the guest list. “Under the Dome” (the Albert Eisele half of it anyway) will be doing introductions. David Rubenstein gives $10 million to Harvard The private sector obviously has been very good to former White House aide David Rubenstein, who last week donated $10 million to the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Rubenstein was a domestic policy assistant to President Carter before he co-founded the multibillion-dollar investment firm the Carlyle Group. Rubenstein’s largess had its genesis in a meeting with Harvard President Larry Summers during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January. One million dollars of Rubenstein’s gift will be used forgive the loans of students who enter public service, while the rest will be used to to recruit new faculty, organize academic conferences and fund a new award for international scholars.

Birthday Gift Try to

How to Wrap a Birthday Gift - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Family & Relationships Center Family Life How to Wrap a Birthday Gift Try to be as creative as possible when wrapping a birthday gift. Keep the gift recipient's age, likes and dislikes in mind when choosing the colors and types of materials used in your wrappings. Follow these instructions to wrap most gift boxes. Steps: 1. Choose a wrapping paper appropriate to the gift recipient. Is the gift for a child's birthday? Your grandmother's birthday? Does the recipient have a favorite color? There are wrapping papers available to suit any gift recipient. 2. Choose coordinating ribbon, and either purchase a premade bow or make your own. See "How to Tie a Decorative Bow" in Related eHows for instructions. If you decide to make your own bow, purchase additional ribbon. 3. Gather your materials and lay them out on a flat work surface. A kitchen or dining room table works best, but be sure not to scratch the table's surface when cutting the wrapping paper. 4. Use a string or a tape measure to determine the dimensions of your gift box. For a rectangular box, measure around the box as if you were measuring a waist. Add 2 inches to this dimension, and jot down this number. 5. Measure the length of your gift box. Measure the height of the box, multiply that number by two and add the total to the length measurement. Write this number down. 6. Use a ruler or yardstick to cut a piece of wrapping paper to the dimensions calculated in Steps 4 and 5 and place wrapping paper face down on your work surface. 7. Position package, top down, onto paper so that you are able to bring lengthwise edges of the wrapping paper to the middle of the box. Center the gift box. 8. Bring one lengthwise edge of wrapping paper to the center of the box. Secure with tape. Turn the opposite edge of paper under approximately 1 inch and bring this to the center of the box as well. The turned-under edge should overlap the first taped edge. 9. Position box so that one short end is facing you. Grasp left and right edges of wrapping paper and push the sides in so that top and bottom flaps are formed. Make sure that the edges are pushed in as far as they will go without ripping the paper. Secure pushed-in edges to box with tape. 10. Bring upper flap down against the side of the box, making sure that flap is sharply creased at its folds. Secure flap against box with tape. Bring lower flap up against the side of the box. Crease and secure as you did for the upper flap. Repeat for opposite end of box. 11. Position package so that the seamless side is up. Affix ribbon and bow as desired. Tips: Consider using comics or newspaper to wrap your gift; or stamp or paint appropriate designs onto plain white or brown Kraft paper. Choose transparent cellophane tape for your gift-wrapping needs. This will give your package a more tidy appearance than can be achieved with other types of tape. Secure lengthwise edges with tape all along the box length - at the middle and both ends. Use several short pieces of tape rather than one long piece. Use a fabric-lined basket or a drawstring fabric bag to wrap your gift if it will not fit in a box. Warnings: Check the label on any package of gift-wrapping paper to make sure there's enough paper inside to wrap your gift box. If you are wrapping a very large box or several gifts, you may need to purchase more than one package. Don't choose gift-wrapping paper that comes folded into precut squares. It has deep creases, which can give your package a crumpled, untidy appearance. Opt for paper that comes on a tube instead. Don't forget to remove the price tag before wrapping your gift.
