Teresa Heinz Kerry celebrated her 67th birthday in St. Louis yesterday before meeting her husband on the presidential campaign trail in Colorado. Mrs. Kerry, wife of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, was in the city to give a speech on health care at the North Central Community Health Center, part of a nationwide tour on the issue. The Goody Goody Diner, often visited by politicians, baked Mrs. Kerry a birthday cake. As a joke, some pretended to pour ketchup on the cake -- Mrs. Kerry's late husband, Republican Sen. John Heinz III, is of the Heinz ketchup family, and Mrs. Kerry inherited the company's fortune. At the event, the crowd of about 150 sang "Happy birthday" to the blushing Mrs. Kerry.
