the mysterious Indonesian acussed of illegally raising
millions for the Democratic Party. Earlier this week,
Secret Service logs show that Mr. Wuang had visited
Clinton's White House more than 60 times. But on
Friday, an administration spokesman revealed that
there are actually two John Wuangs. Furthermore, they
stressed that the John Wuang who visited the White
House is a different man. He isn't the fundraiser. He
is the guy that killed Vince Foster.
[uneasy laughter]
[image of Mayor Giuliani waving with the Yankees in a
parade] Well, the New York Yankees are the 1996 World Series
Champs [wild cheering] and this week 3 million Yankee
fans gather on the streets of New York to honor their
heroes. While their fans were of different ages, races
and religions they shared one thing in common. They
were all standing in urine.
A giant ticket tape parade left nearly 4 tons of
confetti on Manhattan streets and sidewalks but New
York officials do have a plan for dealing with the
confetti. Leaving it there to soak up all the urine. [image of fat dude]
At an emotional press conference this week a now

just that last one. Otherwise he will....ok.
[image of JFK jr and Caroline Besset] Now that John Kennedy Jr. is a married man, who is the

ways--there's 2 ways to pronounce that and I got
neither.
[image of O.J. Simpson] At the Simpson civil trial this week, O.J. and Fred
Goldman got into an explosive shouting match. Mr.
Goldman belted at O.J. "Don't give me that damn look".

you. You're just mad cause I killed your son".
