...Billy Carter and Roger Clinton have taught us, First Brothers are supposed to be screw-ups. (We're watching you, Marvin Bush.) Now, in a nice postmodern twist, even fictional presidential brothers are causing headaches. JOE ESTEVEZ, sibling of West Wing Oval Office sitter and lefty activist MARTIN SHEEN, recorded a very Sheen-like voice-over for a convention ad touting the decidedly right-wing Hunting and Shooting Sports Heritage Foundation. While it's not Estevez's fault that he sounds exactly like his brother, a firearms-industry representative says the hire was no accident. "Let's just say this...
...Sunday, January 1979. By which I mean, Super Bowl XIII. I was then a Dallas Cowboys diehard. When the Pittsburgh Steelers beat America's Team 35-31, I cried like a girl, because that's what I was, a nine-year-old in a Cowboys T shirt.

Dr. Roger Blumenthal of Johns Hopkins Medical School cites a number of studies--one of which was published just three weeks ago--showing that bypass patients who lower their LDL (bad cholesterol) levels to 100 mg/dl or less reduce their likelihood of needing additional invasive treatment...
...question is, who is going to be Al's running mate? And George W.'s? The question is, Who is going to replace Kathie Lee? The question is, Did you see The Perfect Storm? The book was much better, don't you think? I think. I think Roger Clemens did (did not) throw at Mike Piazza's head. I think Richard Williams did (did not) order Serena to lose to Venus. Did not. I think Al will choose Darva Conger and George W. will choose Elian Gonzalez ("He's young, speaks Spanish--I don't see any downside"). Is that...
