Letterwriter Erik Kugler needs to lighten up. In his April 14 letter lambasting Garry Trudeau's handling of Whitewater, he contends that Trudeau is mixing fact and fiction to obscure any ``true'' debate on the issue. You mean, Lacey Davelport isn't for real?
Mr. Kulger also accuses Trudeau of …

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds stepped outside the Phillip Burton Federal Building for the first time as a convicted felon, and a school bus went by. The home-run king flashed a victory sign with two fingers.
After a 12-day trial and four days of deliberation, a jury had deadlocked on three charges he lied under oath. But Bonds was convicted on one count of obstruction of justice.
"Are you celebrating tonight?" one fan asked.
"There's nothing to celebrate," Bonds replied.

Many children with asthma suffer because their disease is poorly controlled, causing sudden attacks and unplanned trips to the doctor's office or emergency rooms each year, according to a national survey released last week.
The survey found that asthma interferes with many aspects of family life. Parents worry about allowing their kids to play at someone else's house or to enjoy vigorous activities. They fear permanent damage to their child's lungs and death from a sudden attack.
The findings are not surprising to anyone who has watched a child with asthma struggling to breathe. Taylor Mobley of Oviedo, Fla., 11, suffered a bad attack …
Robin Rhode, a young South African artist who seemed to be everywhere in New York last month, has such a light touch that fears of overexposure may be safely set aside. His performances, which have the make-believe quality of mime, are so quickly executed as to be over almost before they begin, leaving only mental afterimages of fleeting gestures. A few chalk and charcoal drawings made on the run extend the life of these now-you-see-'em-now-you-don't actions. Yet sensations linger. When he drew a life-size image of a car on a large, white cardboard box in the center of the main gallery at the New Museum, then proceeded to smash the "windows" with a crowbar, shattering a "door" …
