In 1976, a Ph.D. candidate at Claremont Graduate University placed a rather unusual personal ad in newspapers throughout Los Angeles:
Deaths from cancer and HIV, on the other hand, are estimated to continue their steady declines, underscoring the successes of innovative treatments in the US, and infant mortality remains stable.
The CDC's numbers so far for 2017 confirm trends in US population growth decline that scientists and statisticians have observed in recent years.
The new stats come as baby boomers reach old age, and people are waiting longer to conceive and having fewer children than previous generations.
Los Angeles Times columnist David Horsey mocked Sanders' appearance, saying she "looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids' games."
"Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she'd be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes," Horsey wrote on Wednesday. "Yet, even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary, he is lucky to have Sanders."
On internal censure within the Left.
It is a pity that the flow chart published last month by a student magazine at The Ohio State University was not available in October 2015, when Professors Nicholas and Erika Christakis faced the soul-wrenching issue of what counts as an offensive Halloween costume at Yale. Poor Erika! She sympathized with the students, affirmed their politically correct instincts, but declined to police their Halloween costumes. The resulting meltdown by campus crybullies made national headlines and, eventually, resulted in the Christakises' being rusticated from Yale College.
If only they had had access to "Is Your Costume Racist?" the chart published by 1870 Magazine. This handy guide offers aspiring nitwits a plethora of easy-to-digest practical advice. Were you thinking of gallivanting about on Halloween as the black guitarist Prince? Are you white? If yes, "Try a new costume idea." Are you black? If yes, "You're good." "Does your costume include traditional head wear from other cultures?" White? No good. No? Probably OK. With respect to politically charged costumes, the governing question was "Does it make fun of Donald Trump?" Here we had an equal opportunity opening regardless of race, religion, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation(s): "Do it."

Russia's priceless heritage is the many-centuries' experience in peaceful relations between people of different ethnic groups, noted Russian president
The traditions of mutual trust and accord among the Russian peoples fill the national unity with special power, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said.
"Keeping the diversity of the Russian peoples, their ethnic cultural features are of key importance to us," he said during a ceremony of presenting state awards on the Day of People's Unity, which Russia celebrates on November 4. "Like the traditions of mutual trust, accord and neighborhood. Those are the bases which fill unity of the Russian nation with special inner power."

On what was supposed to be a photo op on Friday for Danish Minister for Immigration, Integration and Housing Inger Støjberg at the Sjælsmark deportation center on the island of North Zealand, things went awry as a group of failed asylum applicants encircled her, Danish broadcaster DR reported.
A crowd of around 40 disgruntled residents of the center, all awaiting deportation, confronted the minister as she was about to drive away.
"When we came outside after the visit, the atmosphere started getting aggressive. Residents started gathering around Støjberg," journalist Martin Torpe, who witnessed the scene, said as cited by DR.

The ruling relates to a 2013 incident involving Orange County sheriff's deputies who answered a call in the city of Laguna Niguel. Connor Zion, 21, had suffered seizures, bit his mother, and cut his mother and a roommate with a kitchen knife, according to court documents cited by the Los Angeles Times.
When Deputy Juan Lopez arrived at the scene, Zion ran toward him and stabbed Lopez's arms twice while shouting "I'll kill you," according to the Orange County Register. Lopez fell to the ground and kicked Zion to keep him away.
Deputy Michael Higgins responded by firing nine shots at Zion, who fell on the ground but was still alive. Once the suspect was on the ground, Higgins fired nine more shots, emptying his gun, according to the Orange County Register.
Higgins then walked in a circle, took a "running start," and stomped on Zion's head three times.

All the signs are that Madrid's takeover, entering its first week, has been running smoothly and has won ovation among a broad swath of Barcelonans.
In the meantime, with deposed Catalan leader Carles Puigdement fleeing to Brussels, and some of his cohorts being summoned to Spanish court for charges including "rebellion, sedition, and misuse of public funds", Catalan separatists have landed in hot water.
"The central government's takeover, aimed at stabilizing the situation and bringing the normal life back, is certainly good," 38-year-old Eueni Gegeni Prat, an editor at a truck business website, told Xinhua.
"The separatists' thinking is nonsense," Plat quipped, stressing that "independence will not make Catalonia richer, instead it will result in economic calamities".
Comment: The dream is over for those in favor of the independence of Catalonia. But wasn't this failure the most likely outcome from the start? With less than half the population motivated enough to vote in the referendum, no significant military or police force on their side and very little support from the international community (and in contrast so much to lose for the Spanish government), the idea didn't really have any legs. The threat of independence was nothing more than a bluff from the Catalonian elite in order to get further privileges from Madrid for a region which is already among the richest of Spain. It didn't work, and now the pro-independence leaders can only contemplate two options: jail or exile.
Following Donna Brazile and Elizabeth Warren's allegations that the DNC rigged the 2016 primary elections against Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton supporters took to Twitter to express their anger.
Former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, Donna Brazile, recently claimed that Hillary Clinton's team took control of the DNC before she won the primary elections against Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth Warren corroborated Brazile's claims, leading to many Hillary Clinton supporters expressing their anger at the two Democratic politicians via Twitter.
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean incorrectly stated that "no one has said the primaries were rigged." Despite Warren herself agreeing to exactly that on video.
Comment: So Killary supporters can't handle a bit of truth coming out about their precious leader? Meanwhile, their media counterparts seem to prefer to ignore it.
More on the Brazile revelations:
- Donna Brazile has exposed globalist financing of DNC rigging for Killary - the background story
- Donna Brazile confesses: Trump and Bernie were right, DNC rigged nomination for Hillary from the start
- Fmr chair of the Democratic National Committee Donna Brazile dishes the dirt: 'Clinton indeed stole the Democratic nomination from Bernie'
