...wears the ruby sequined gown in that family HOSNI MUBARAK Egypt's leader says peace is good and is lauded on U.S. visit. When it comes to the Middle East, the bar has gotten very, very low ANNE HECHE Lesbian-turned-wife has a baby, names him Homer Heche Laffoon.

He took a two-under-par 68 on each of the first two rounds, a 69 on the third and then, after trailing Ky Laffoon by one stroke at the 63rd hole, the pride of White Sulphur Dreezed through the final nine in a whirlwind 32 for a seven-under-par total of 273 -and first prize...
