June 3-4: The World Millennium Convention of the Budgerigar Society; in Eastbourne, England. Bird lovers pay tribute to the chirpy little parakeet...
...Lyndon Baines Johnson White House has one fund raiser done so much for one political family. He has raised more than $300 million for Clinton causes, including the presidential library ($75 million), Clinton's legal bills ($8 million), Hillary's Senate campaign ($5 million) and the President's millennium celebration ($17 million).

Giuliani stopped wearing his wedding ring; he brought Nathan to the Times Square millennium bash on Dec. 31 and the St. Patrick's Day Parade in March, but the press reported nothing about her. So the mayor has no right to complain about the "salacious" media. He brought the trouble on himself, mostly by his treatment of Hanover. Simply put, what kind...
