...legend ROSWELL 1947 and the image of a smiling spaceman waving from a flaming UFO shaped like a Stetson hat--a unique spin on an event that, if it actually occurred, was surely one of the most momentous in history; no one would argue that it doesn't trump lizard races. And so the town is gearing up, not entirely wholeheartedly, for what it is calling Roswell UFO Encounter '97, a celebration that will include a flying-saucer Soap Box Derby, films, symposiums (speakers include Erich von Daniken, author of Chariots of the Gods?) and what an organizer describes...

Thus the divorce of Donald and Ivana Trump "shed new light on the issue of prenuptial agreements." The travails of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow "shed new light on child-custody issues...
...turns out that the Donald may have left some money on the table. Last week the public company agreed to sell 51% of Trump's Castle to the Los Angeles real estate firm Colony Capital for $125 million in cash. The deal values the property--to be rechristened Trump Marina--at $563 million and wipes $314 million in debt off its balance sheet. Says Nicholas Ribis, president and CEO of Trump Hotels: "[Donald] is vindicated, sure...It's a smart financial deal for Trump and financially for the company...
