...your story on driver Jeff Gordon and the popularity of NASCAR races [BUSINESS, May 31]: For six days a week, we are pillars of the community (he: Chamber of Commerce president, civic leader, successful businessman; she: homeroom mother, baseball coach, car-pool queen). But on weekends, beware! We two have driven 10 hours one way to a race. Slept in the car. Washed up in a gas station rest room. Set the VCR to record a race we actually attended.

...year-old guest of honor, danced seductively in front of him and instructed, "Touch me. Touch me all over." Although it seemed like a new low in tacky reception entertainment, the former Playboy/Guess? model had in fact crashed the party. Either way, on Monday in homeroom, that boy had to be the man. As for Smith, 30, who battled drug, alcohol and food addiction last year--she was arrested last Friday at a different L.A. hotel, accused of striking an employee...
