...David Geffen, who joined the Spielbergs, Hankses and Streisands in giving the maximum $10,000 contribution. "I would have given more, but they didn't want any more," added Geffen. That's not entirely true -- the Clintons have a $10 million legal hole to fill -- but given that the limit was previously $1,000, Geffen is lucky to be writing checks this large. If he has cash to spare, he might give a thought to Monica: The former White House intern has only received $10,000 total for her substantial legal costs...

In a few short years he has built impressive brand identity, and every few weeks a new No Limit album by a previously little-known performer debuts in the upper reaches of Billboard magazine's album charts. One of his slyest techniques is to include in his CDs--like his current solo album, MP Da Last Don--promotional materials for his other records...
...that as it may, in the likely event that the case proceeds to trial September 8 as scheduled, you can expect to hear some of Bill Gates's views. The über-honcho had tried to limit the length of his August 12 deposition, but Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said he'd just have to hang in there for as long as it takes. Microsoft was also ordered to hand over the source code for Windows to the DOJ and the states for examination. Second set, Microsoft serving...
