DIED. THE REV. ELLWOOD ("Bud") KIESER, 71, six-time Emmy Award-winning Roman Catholic priest; of colon cancer; in Los Angeles. His morality-based drama series, Insight, which ran for 23 years, from 1960 to 1983, attracted such high-profile actors as Walter Matthau and Martin Sheen...
...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...
...Playboy Mansion. Hugh Hefner threw a party Saturday night that snared headlines with an appearance by newlyweds Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

At their core, these grains were not pearly white, as ordinary rice is, but a very pale yellow--courtesy of beta-carotene, the nutrient that serves as a building block for vitamin...
...easy to think of America's two major credit card companies as competitors in a classic tradition: Yankees vs. Dodgers, Coke vs. Pepsi, Visa vs. MasterCard. But according to the Department of Justice, that sheen of rivalry may be little more than a carefully maintained illusion. After examining Visa and MasterCard's overwhelming presence in the American financial market (the companies issue roughly 75 percent of the country's credit cards and enlist about 7,000 banks), DOJ lawyers have brought monopoly charges against the credit peddlers. In a case opening Monday in New York's District Court, the Justice...
