...looking for a good writer who has experience with layout design and someone whom I will be comfortable working with," Veneziano said. "I'm going to be making enough adjustments already and I want someone making those same adjustments with me at the same time...
What happened to the promise of Marion Barry, the fire-snorting civil rights leader? Some say the promise never existed, that all along he was an opportunist obsessed with power.

"She's active, she's involved," Dan says of Cindy. "She doesn't want to be a Hollywood wife." The couple seem close, considering that one of them is a screen stud with a gypsy work schedule. In April, Costner took his wife, children and parents to the gala opening of the Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park...
