...gentlemanly fashion as "Ellen DeGenerate," and from the Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, whose American Family Association has issued barely veiled threats to boycott Ellen's advertisers. A stalwart ABC says it nevertheless expects that Ellen will be fully sponsored, although two occasional advertisers on Ellen, J.C. Penney and Chrysler, have announced they won't continue to sponsor the show. This can't have made ABC happy.

That changed Thursday when some 1,800 workers at the Mound Road engine plant walked out over the company's plan to outsource production of driveshafts, which would eliminate about 300 jobs from their plant.

"We'd talk for hours every day." After Gates went off to Harvard, Allen drove his rattletrap Chrysler cross-country to continue their collaboration. He eventually persuaded Gates to become that university's most famous modern dropout in order to start a software company, which they initially dubbed Micro-Soft (after considering the name Allen & Gates Inc.), to write versions of BASIC for the first personal computers. It was an intense relationship...
