...still young, but Diana Ross seems to be taking an early lead in the 2003 bad-publicity sweepstakes. Last week Ross was stopped by police at 12:30 a.m. in Tucson, Ariz., after she was spotted driving erratically. Ross, never one for small gestures, was cited for an "extreme DUI." According to the police report, a sobriety test registered her blood-alcohol level at 0.20, more than twice the state's legal limit, and she proved unable to stand on one leg. Ross, who last year checked herself into a Malibu, Calif., rehab clinic, denied that she had been drinking...
...know you’re reading this, Sarah Hughes. Listen. There’s no future in figure skating, not when Tonya Harding is beating up Paula Jones on Celebrity Boxing and Oksana Baiul is trying to resurrect her career after DUI charges. When Brian Boitano dies, more people will remember him for his hilarious “cameo” in the South Park movie than for anything he did on the ice.

Cloyd joined America West 12 years ago, but the airline knew nothing about his '86 DUI arrest (he was convicted on a lesser charge of reckless driving) because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) did not require pilots to report alcohol- or drug-related convictions until 1990, and the rule was not retroactive. America West discovered his record only after police took him off the plane...
Dehn, 52, says he has had phenomenal results. "Of about 60 people I have sentenced like this, there are only three who have gotten a new DUI over the past four years," he says. "We are empowering the drunk driver like no one else has done before to change his life." The success has led Dehn to consider extending the program to other crimes, such as domestic violence and drug abuse. As many as 15 other judges in Minnesota are trying staggered sentencing, in part because of the annual classes on sentencing alternatives that Dehn teaches for new judges...
