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

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

to purchase coverage died without a vote. It was
