...catch a glimpse of the bride and bridegroom, or at least of some of the 200 guests. They included Pop Artist Andy Warhol, Actress Rosanna Arquette (who co-starred with the bride in Desperately Seeking Susan) and Brat Pack Members Emilio Estevez and Judd Nelson. TV Talk Show Host David Letterman was also there, as were Cher (in purple hair), Diane Keaton, Record Producer David Geffen and Penn's friend Timothy Hutton. But the reporters never saw Madonna or Penn enter or leave...

He is next expected to make a quick trip to Brussels, where police last week arrested two Arabs and charged them with conspiracy to commit a crime. Also arrested was their host, a Belgian video store owner in the provincial town of Hasselt, in whose possession police found 40 lbs. of explosives. The Belgian had been previously convicted on charges of illegal arms possession. The disclosure seemed to support suspicions by law-enforcement officials that links exist between terrorist networks and arms...
