[WINNERS]

TOM & NICOLE Grant multitudes of interviews, stay mum about divorce. Rudy and Donna, please take note

[LOSERS]

TRENT LOTT Loses job as Senate majority leader; at least he has something to talk about with Newt

MARGARET MITCHELL A court lifts injunction of GWTW parody. Frankly, my dear, it didn’t give a damn about the copyright

MCDONALD’S Company’s halfhearted apology doesn’t placate Hindus upset by beef in fries
