...violence. Ono does not normally publicize her acts of charity, but these alms came armed with a statement. "I am making this donation in sisterhood with and in memory of Linda McCartney," she said, adding that she hoped the donation would bring attention to the charity's work. Her reason for the gift is startling, given that Ono was not invited to the memorial service Paul McCartney held for Linda in New York City last month. Paul and Yoko were never close, but detente was declared when Free as a Bird was released in 1995. Then last year Ono told...
Perhaps the only slogan more grating than NBC's arrogant "Must See TV" is NBC's patronizing "It's New to You." There was a very good reason why we missed Caroline's mother's visit to the city the first time around, thank you. So the cable channels, aware of the networks' prehistoric insistence on shutting down for the summer, use these months for their hype: HBO's Sex and the City (now), Showtime's Lolita (Aug. 2), the Discovery Channel's Shark Week (Aug. 9-16) and the Learning Channel's latest swimsuit documentary, Beauty and the Beach...

...heartburn. And a little bit of prevention can keep it at bay. For starters, don't gulp down big meals that are high in fats, chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Small portions eaten over longer periods make it less likely your stomach will back up. In case you needed another reason to quit, cigarette smoking is a potent acid trigger...
...mystery about himself. Because he doesn't engage in the excesses and on- and off-court buffoonery of teammate Dennis Rodman, you say he is bland. Jordan is one of the greatest personalities of this or any other century. Millions of fans watch him mesmerized for one reason: the force of his presence holds us. WILLIAM J.
