...weapons. Villegas bragged to his polo buddies that his girlfriend was an expert shot. A disagreement over the ponies' care apparently preceded the shooting of Villegas. Polo is hard on the horses, which must stop on a dime while in full gallop and make sudden turns so riders can chase the ball. Friends say Cummings, a committed animal lover, did not want her ponies to play two days in a row. Villegas, who had been in a match on Saturday, Sept. 6, was scheduled to play again on the day he was killed...
...readers hadn't wanted to stand in the supermarket check-out lines and devour Di in her pink-flowered swimsuit in the Mediterranean with Dodi in shades and shorts on his father's yacht, would there have been a phalanx of photographers in a high-speed chase to capture yet another glimpse of the couple?

And, oh, yes, little more than a year ago, Price, a 21% owner of Sunbeam, got Dunlap hired as CEO. The pay was right: Dunlap got 2.5 million stock options that, if all could be exercised today, would bring him $70 million. So when Dunlap...
...both municipal and federal, made the news last week, but like car-chase scenes and new stock market highs, sex scandals don't automatically take the world by storm anymore. The reluctant entry of another woman into the Paula Jones case hardly created a ripple. And when speculation that New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani might be having an affair surfaced last week in Vanity Fair, followed by the tabloids, it sparked not so much a feverish rush of readers to newsstands as a snippy debate in the New York press about standards of proof.
