...past eight weeks. Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man, by Home Improvement's Tim Allen, just landed at No. 1. Jerry Seinfeld's SeinLanguage spent five weeks in the top spot last fall and is about to come out in paperback. Dennis Miller, Garry Shandling and Ellen DeGeneres (star of ABC's Ellen) have books in the works...
Tarantino's and Bender's company is called A Band Apart, after Bande a Part (Band of Outsiders), the 1964 film about two hoods and a femme fatale that Jean-Luc Godard based on an American paperback novel.

She spent six months crisscrossing the country -- from Walnut Creek, California, to Leesburg, Virginia -- interviewing patients, nurses, insurance executives, Senators -- just about anyone with a voice or a stake in the decisions that Washington soon hopes to make. She talked to AIDS patients at San Francisco General and stood at the elbow...
