SEEKING DIVORCE. Ivana Trump, 41, former Czechoslovakian fashion model and ski competitor; from struggling real estate developer Donald Trump, 44; after 13 years of marriage, three children.

He jokes that he keeps a list of 10 actions that will prove that the Soviets have truly changed. Even though some of them -- like the unification of Germany -- have been fulfilled, the list always stands at 10. "Every time they do one, I add another," Cheney explains. "It's like moving the goalposts...
