President Bush and his wife, Barbara, marked their 45th anniversary Saturday. They gave each other a joint gift--a promise to redecorate their vacation home in Kennebunkport, Me. . . . Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks will have a big 77th birthday party Feb. 4. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is putting together a Kennedy Center show that will feature Lou Rawls, Dionne Warwick, Cicely Tyson, Dick Gregory, Vanessa Williams, Melissa Manchester and the Neville Brothers, who wrote a song about Parks. Parks, who gave the civil rights movement momentum in 1955 when she refused to surrender her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., once worked on Conyers’ staff.
