Deep into their planning, D.N.C. officials were appalled to learn that Hillary's campaign was organizing a similar event (Cher, Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross). When Gore strategists heard of the bash, they asked that it be kept small so as not to siphon dollars from the nominee. "They're in a total swivet," a Hillary operative told TIME. "Every dollar" that Hillary raises, "they resent...
Turns out there's a good reason why John McCain's still a Republican. Why Nader went with the Greens. Why Jesse Ventura sits unaffiliated in Minnesota, and why former Connecticut senator Lowell Weicker and New York mogul-o-maniac Donald Trump stayed on the sidelines.

She was also going out with a Supremes reconstituted from Motown slurry, with the best seats priced at $500 a pair. Sure enough, the Supremes' Return to Love tour derailed last week after 14 dates, many played to half-empty houses. Ross released a statement claiming that tour promoter SFX had canceled the remaining shows, while SFX, which is reportedly paying Ross $20 million, begged to differ, claiming that only certain shows...
