(conservative). My political philosophy is practically identical with Alex Keaton (Michael J. Fox) of "Family Ties". By the way, did you hear that Fox and Tracy Pollan (she was Ellen Reed on "Family Ties") were supposed to get married soon? I read in The Goshen News that they might have gotten married last Sunday.
