ed so many others was herself scooped -- by the first 
lady. Pat Nixon was the one who announced to the Washington press 
corps that Thomas was engaged to Douglas Cornell, chief White House correspondent 
for UPI's archival, The Associated Press.They were married in 1971. Cornell 
died 11 years later.Thomas stayed with UPI for 57 years, until 2000, 
when the company was purchased by News World Communications, which was founded 
by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, leader of the Unification Church.At age 
79, Thomas was soon hired as a Washington-based columnist for newspaper 
publisher Hearst Corp.A self-described liberal, Thomas made no secret of 
her ill feelings for the second President Bush. "He is the worst 
president in all of American history," she told the Daily Breeze of 
Torrance, Calif.Thomas also was critical of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, 
asserting that the deaths of innocent people should hang heavily on Bush's 
conscience."We are involved in a war that is becoming more dubious every 
day," she said in a speech to thousands of students at Brigham 
Young University in September 2003. "I thought it was wrong to invade 
a country without any provocation."Some students walked out of the lecture. 
She won over others with humorous stories from her "ringside seat" to 
history.In March 2005, she confronted Bush with the proposition that "your 
decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans 
and Iraqis" and every justification for

goal is to repeal President Obama's health care law, not to present 
an alternative plan."I don't think it's a matter of what we put 
on the floor right now," said Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, who 
heads the party's campaign committee. He added that what is important is 
"trying to delay Obamacare."His remarks are in response to criticism that 
the Republican-led House have voted more than three dozen times over the 
past several years to repeal the law in part or in whole.Officially, 
the effort to craft an alternative plan is a work "in progress" 
and has been since Jan. 19, 2011, according to GOP.gov, a leadership-run 
website.But internal divisions, disagreement about political tactics and 
Obama's 2012 re-election have resulted in uncertainty about whether Republicans 
will vote on a plan of their own before the 2014 elections, 
or if not by then, perhaps before the president leaves office, more 
than six years after the original promise.Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who 
leads a committee with jurisdiction over health care, said, "If we are 
successful in ultimately repealing this legislation, then yes, we will have 
a replacement bill ready to come back with."Divisions were evident earlier 
this year, when legislation to make it easier for high-risk individuals 
to purchase coverage died without a vote. It was
