LITTLE ROCK: U.S. District Court Judge Susan Webber Wright has granted the divorce that lawyers Gilbert Davis and Joseph Cammarata wanted from their client, Paula Jones. But Jones isn't quitting. In fact, she's already interviewing new candidates to take over the legal shepherding of her $700,000 sexual harassment suit...
...script by the impresario of improv, directed by his son, should become a tight, slight, goofy romance. As the lovestruck Eddie, Sean Penn denounces his wife's perfume as "a good smell to cover up bad smell." John Travolta, as the second husband of Eddie's beloved Maureen (Robin Wright Penn), snaps at his young stepdaughter, "You haven't lived long enough for me to argue with you.

With no real purpose since the Wright brothers' invention was perfected, the blimp has spent the past 30 years as the lofty billboard of the Goodyear Corp. Now, for a fee of $200,000 a month, such companies as Alta-Vista and Russell Stover are causing dozens of jumpy citizens to call FAA with UFO sightings. Eleven blimps are flying somewhere around the country, and there will be 13 by 1998. That's almost double the blimpage of a year ago. Most of them are made by the American Blimp Corp. of Hillsboro, Ore., which has designed a blimpette, that...
...House after she saw Jones on a TV news broadcast, and has spoken several times to Clinton's private lawyers. Jones and her husband, claims Ferraro, "were always wanting something for nothing." Jones' lawyers have consistently denied that she was motivated by money. On Friday, federal judge Susan Webber Wright is likely to set a trial date. But given the arsenal each side has built, observers say there are better-than-even odds of a settlement. Neither side really wants to see the other in court...
