Sun Myung Moon are spending the next few days sending out a lot of very similar wedding invitations for what they expect to be their biggest mass wedding yet, on Nov. 29 at Washington's R.F.K. Stadium, where they will be serenaded by WHITNEY HOUSTON. Using a line already made popular by Bill Cosby before her, Houston claims she simply had no idea that the seven-figure deal she signed for her 45-minute gig was for a Moonie event. When most people...

Gone, gone, all gone. Once in a blue moon we will hear from Mr. Bush on some matter, and the giggles start to rise again, but it is not the same as when he led the free world. The country needs a funny President, and Clinton is not it. To be truly funny, a U.S. President has to 1) have real wit, like Lincoln and J.F.K.; 2) be a sort of caricature, like Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, Coolidge and F.D.R.; 3) act with such consistency in one's decisions and policies that the very predictability becomes a hoot; or 4) have...

Consider two new sequels by a couple of very good writers, Larry McMurtry (Comanche Moon; Simon & Schuster; 752 pages; $28.50), and Peter Matthiessen (Lost Man's River; Random House; 539 pages; $26.95).

...minute rendition of the hit "Next Lifetime" comes close to perfection, finding new heartache, wisdom and charm in the hit. Sounding like Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, the song climaxes first in a soulful whirl that is followed by Badu's backup singers scatting into heaven. "I'll be the moon shine on you/I'll be the womb give you fruit/I'll be heaven love me right/I'll be divine give you light," Badu sings at the end. Here, as on the entire album, she proves that although she is not the second coming of Billie Holiday, Erykah "God Damn...

...Arab and Islamic figure too long typecast as a one-dimensional thug in the West. The book delivers an eclectic mix of Gaddafi essays and short stories. You can curl up with The Suicide of the Astronaut, the dictator's winsome tale of a space traveler who explores the moon only to find upon his return to earth that his life is empty. Salinger and Canadian publisher ALAIN STANKE clinched the book deal with Gaddafi not long ago in a tent at the maximum leader's army barracks near Tripoli. Stanke says Gaddafi will get no advance and denies reports...
