Congress closes with energy bill capers and comic turns
United Press International reports on the congressional session’s final hours. The five part energy package was split and attached to various bills, prompting watchdogs Metzenbaum Durkin and Abourezk to block objectionable measures. Wit and humor marked adjournment as senators and tourists filled galleries, with poems, songs, and light pranks, including a wig joke by Bartlett and a Nixon name suggestion by Durkin.

Dear Abby letters discuss a 24 year old bride, a 29 year old fiancé with a prior marriage, and the groom’s prominent parents who refuse to invite their friends or relatives, citing past wedding gifts. Abby notes a wedding invitation is for presence, not presents, and that the groom’s parents may choose their guest list as their privilege. The column also answers questions on dating standards, etiquette at fancy dinners, and family dynamics, including a child psychology query and a cryptic puzzle.
