           "A brouhaha has erupted, as brouhahas are wont
            to do, over a controversial handshake between
            Castro and President Clinton. A move that
            angered anti-Castro factions who believe
            Communism is transmissible through skin contact."

Sean, Rudy, Sue, Kelly, and Richard have already slipped into obscurity.

Drug problems overshadowed the Olympics a bit more Monday.  Because of four
failed drug tests over the summer, U.S. shotputter C.J. Hunter can no longer
officially coach Marion Jones -- his wife!  Does this mean they have to
sleep in separate beds until next Monday? (Richard Burkard/

Bruce Coslet has quit as coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. Word is he may
seek a career change. He wants to work in professional football. (Ray)
