...what is still arguably her best picture, 1968's "Funny Girl," Barbra Streisand dreamed of being "Sadie, Sadie," a married lady. Today, she is. The Brooklyn-born entertainer, 56, and actor James Brolin, 57, tied the knot Wednesday -- the second anniversary of their first date -- at her Malibu estate in a highly romantic but high-security ceremony...
Among the guests: John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Streisand's mother, songwriters Alan and Marilyn Bergman (the only invitees who knew the wedding date well in advance; all others were invited on short notice over the phone), "Tootsie" director Sidney Pollack, designer Donna Karan (who made the wedding dress), music producer Quincy Jones and composer Marvin Hamlisch, who conducted a 16-piece orchestra playing "Here Comes the Bride." Despite one L.A. newscast's report that Streisand's close friend President Clinton planned to cut short his China visit in order to attend...

The Coleman folks had to sell, or lose, their stock options. But by moving so quickly, they bolstered the view that Dunlap had grossly overpaid. Indeed, nine Coleman insiders, including Levin, cashed out 581,000 shares, according to CDA Investnet--near...
Venter exudes confidence and points to TIGR's track record. Using the shotgun approach, his company has already sequenced the DNA of seven microorganisms, including the bacterium that causes ulcers. That number, he notes, represents half of all the genomes decoded to date. "The [human] genome will be accurately and completely covered," Venter promised the science subcommittee last week. And as proof he promised to sequence the genome of the fruit fly (which is far more complex than those of bacteria) within a year...
