Long Leaves: Vicki Long, the woman who claims to have had affairs with the nation’s highest-ranking black Roman Catholic official, two priests and a nun, has cleared out of Atlanta. As a moving crew loaded up her possessions, Long dashed away in a car driven by her brother and a friend, saying she is moving temporarily to her mother’s home in Columbus, Ga. Long claims she had an affair with Atlanta Archbishop Eugene Marino, who has resigned and is in psychiatric care in Larchmont, N.Y.

No Crybaby: George and Barbara Bush have agreed to donate their organs to science when they die, according to an interview with Mrs. Bush in Woman’s Day. The First Lady also said her husband sheds tears over “poignant things” but holds up in emergencies: “He’s not a crybaby like me, and he’d never cry during a crisis.”

Remembrance: After eight years of sitting in a closet, the memorial at Dallas’ Parkland Memorial Hospital--commemorating it as the place where President John F. Kennedy died--has been reinstated in an alcove. The memorial was packed in boxes when the hospital began a remodeling project in 1982. It includes a wall with a 30-inch presidential seal suspended between U.S. and Texas flags and portraits of Kennedy and his successor, Lyndon Johnson.

Fabulous Bakker Baby: Imprisoned television evangelist Jim Bakker became a grandfather again Monday afternoon. Bakker’s 20-year-old daughter, Tammy Sue, and her husband, Doug Chapman, became parents for the second time when she gave birth to a son at a Charlotte, N.C., hospital. With 44 years to go on his sentence, it may be awhile before Bakker bounces the as-yet-unnamed boy on his knee.
