My Turn, the long awaited tell-nothing autobiography of the woman who "shared a bed with the President" is finally being released. Thank God. I'll need something to tide me over between Roseanne Barr's memoirs and Zsa-Zsa Gabor's sure-to-be-published account of her incarceration...

...star, she usually eludes her public by slipping through a back door. Frieda Nuss, 58, a bookkeeper from Brooklyn, sighs at the thought that Myerson might be guilty: "She could have enjoyed her twilight years." At least everyone else is enjoying them. And in January the real estate moguls Leona and Harry Helmsley -- the billionaires New Yorkers love to hate -- are scheduled to come to trial for income-tax evasion. Will Broadway have anything to compare...
