...conservative lioness who runs brother Pat's campaigns. He's basketball's multihued satyr. Now both ANGELA ("Bay") BUCHANAN and DENNIS RODMAN will be mouthing off on air. Buchanan will replace Mary Matalin on CNBC's Equal Time, and she's clear about her mission. "I'm involved in a movement," she says. "This is a terrific opportunity to have our issues kept in the public debate." Rodman's vision is a bit murkier. MTV says the freestyle show will have guests and commentary.

"The factions won," his daughter told the team afterward. "They were scared of the kind of things you recommended...
...life's greatest activities, is becoming more of a burden than a pleasure. One cannot escape the tendency to read the nutritional content on the back of food packages. One cannot resist asking whether the muffins are regular, low-fat or fat-free. One cannot help but pat a slice of pizza with a napkin. In short, one cannot eat without some efforts at fat reduction, without worrying. The result is that eating fat-free and eating care-free are mutually exclusive...
