After filing the necessary paperwork with the government, the Screen Actors Guild and Phil’s Pocket Pets, Dinner Party Cheat Sheet has legally truncated its name to Cheat Sheet. That is all.

LOVE AND INFECTION

A Gambian rat brought to the states from Africa is being held responsible for infecting some prairie dogs – which were for sale at Phil’s Pocket Pets in Villa Park, Ill. – with an illness known as monkeypox.

Waksal’s lawyers had hoped the federal judge would be a little more lenient – even telling Judge William Pauley that Waksal’s parents were Holocaust survivors. The judge didn’t bite. And neither can that woman suing Warner Bros.
