Mike and Chris Wallace were on stage at Lowell Memorial Auditorium for Middlesex Community College's ninth annual Celebrity Forum yesterday, dubbed this year, "60 minutes with Mike and Chris Wallace."

From GMU Professor Karen Bune: "Daniel Rosenbaum came to my GMU victimology class Monday night -- during National Crime Victims' Rights Week (422-4/28)and the class paid tribute to his family and the loss of his father from a brutal crime. He was presented a gift by the professor on behalf of the entire class and Daniel seemed deeply touched. He indicated it meant alot to get something like this from people he didn't know. There was mutual benefit -- the students obtained a better understanding of the impact of homicide victimization and the effect on survivors and Mr.Rosenbaum realizes that there are students who are actually studying victimization in anticipation of working in the field and making a positive difference. It was a rewarding evening for all." A tipster writes in, "Excerpt from the Wrong Stuff. What repelled Wilkes -- and others invited to the parties -- was both the water Cunningham put in the hot tub and the congressman's penchant for using it while naked even if everybody else at the party was clothed. Cunningham used water siphoned directly from the polluted Potomac River and never changed it out during the season. 'Wilkes thought it was unbelievably dirty and joked if you got in there that it would leave a dark water line on your chest,' said one person familiar with the parties. 'The water was so gross that very few people were willing to get into the hot tub other than Duke and his paramour.'"
