...thing is that with Reubens' media track-record, I can't blame them. But if lingering worries about Reubens' salability are disturbing, there is still reason to be upbeat. He's an immensely talented entertainer, and even if he has to slink his way into prime time, we should be glad to have him back on the scene. We should be glad that he's willing to give us another chance...
...Kelly Flinn, with her brother Don in attendance, spoke to TIME correspondents John Dickerson and Kevin Fedarko on Saturday at the Holiday Inn in Minot, N.D. Throughout, she kept consulting a personal datebook but spoke calmly and with little rancor, even as she reasserted that Marc Zigo was to blame for her downfall.

Thursday he issued a list of mainly conservative candidates to defeat. Le Pen's contentiousness may cost Chirac his majority. His conservatives head into...
PARIS: France's highly unpopular Prime Minister Alain Juppe took the fall on Monday for President Jacques Chirac's humiliation in the first round of legislative elections. Loyally accepting the blame for two years of record unemployment, public spending cuts, wage freezes for state workers and general discontent with the government, Juppe said he will quit the premiership no matter what the outcome in next Sunday's runoff vote. It was Juppe who had persuaded Chirac to call for early elections, on the notion that their conservative coalition would fare better now than wait for next year's scheduled election...
