Some 2,000 G.O.P. donors will be in Washington for Tuesday night's Presidential Gala fund raiser. But the big ticket is dinner at DICK CHENEY's vice-presidential mansion the night before, an event planned with as much secrecy as the report of his energy task force. Among those on the Veep's guest list are some of the party's most prolific fund raisers, including lobbyists for the coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear and utility industries. Rick Shelby of the American Gas Association, who raised or gave $250,000, is invited, as is former Republican Party chairman Haley...
...funny thing happened to Amy Tan back in 1993 on the day of a gala premiere of The Joy Luck Club, the film adaptation of her phenomenally successful 1989 first novel.

The Bible your dad used is back for the swearing in, 16,000 yellow roses, 500 lbs. of peach cobbler, tons of fireworks and Ricky Martin are all being readied for the gala celebrations, and you have only yourself to blame if all people remember from this historic week is the historically ugly struggle you ignited in the halls of the U.S. Senate. George W. Bush says he picked John Ashcroft, his nominee to become Attorney General, because Ashcroft is "a good...
...three days will be packed with a variety of high-priced ticketed luncheons and public events, including a Hispanic Presidential Inaugural Gala and a youth concert starring performers like Destiny's Child, 98 Degrees and Jessica Simpson...
