...relationship as having run its course. The couple met amid the swirl of controversy surrounding DeGeneres' coming out as a lesbian--both personally and as the lead character in a popular sitcom. The two then weathered what they felt was a backlash against them: the cancellation of Ellen by ABC and the shrinking of Heche's once promising film career. Still, it seemed a perfect match. They exchanged rings; they championed gay marriage; their careers actually seemed to coalesce with a number of collaborations. But last week they were living apart. As a friend told the Daily News, "They...
Know your ABC's (and D's): any moles on your skin that are Asymmetric, have an irregular Border, change in Color or have a Diameter greater than 1/4 in. (6 mm) should be checked immediately by a physician. (Melanomas often grow within a matter of a few months.) Most important, if you are ever diagnosed with a malignant melanoma, follow McCain's example and keep those doctors' appointments.

Gore takes 50-45 lead over Bush, 46-44 in a four-way race, "by easing doubts about his leadership ability and personal style while establishing himself with voters as the candidate best able to deal with the economy, education and health care reform." Busy week...
...devil's own medium, however, it was Joe Lieberman's night Wednesday, and the beneficiaries of the First Amendment gave a generally warm reception to the man who has essentially promised that if TV doesn't clean itself up, the government will do the job for it. On ABC, former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos - who we're sure has become an entirely impartial observer in the, what, three minutes he's been a journalist - notified us that the Gore camp is thrilled with the bump Lieberman has given the campaign, which evidently is noticeable everywhere but in the polls. Larry...
...missing "public service component" bemoaned by The Washington Post's Tom Shales and other crab- apple advocates of universal convention coverage: the urgent obligation to provide valuable airtime to two money-glutted parties to show free ads and the somnolent dronings of state assistant attorneys general. I say ABC deserves a government subsidy for airing Monday Night Football, which with Dennis Miller probably featured more trenchant commentary than three cable-news networks combined...
