With the quiet self-assurance of a killer android, Cheryl Johnson waltzes uninvited into a St. Paul, Minn., benefit for Senator Paul Wellstone, a Democrat up for re-election this year. The most popular columnist for The Minneapolis Star Tribune -- and the only hard-core gossip writer to rip scalps in the polite Twin Cities -- she's quickly spotted and decried. "Why'd you come, C. J.?" moans a Wellstone fan. Johnson happily strides on. "Wellstone hasn't liked me since I reported that his daughter stiffed the guy who taped her wedding," she says. Wellstone isn't the only grumbler. The artist formerly known as Prince, a favorite if bloated target -- she calls him Symbolina -- retaliated in a song that whined, "What if I called you silly names?" Eleanor Mondale, daughter of the Ambassador to Japan, says she moved away from Minneapolis largely because Johnson's audits of her dating habits "made me feel like an insect under a microscope."

Sara Netanyahu, Israel's first American-style First Lady, spent this week in the United States in activities Hillary Rodham Clinton would find familiar. She visited a school for the learning disabled, took her children to "Beauty and the Beast," got a facial at Bloomingdale's, went to an East Side ladies' lunch, chatted with Barbara Walters -- and faced a barrage of criticism in the Israeli press for trying to be an American-style First Lady. Much comment centered on the Netanyahus' two sons, Yair, 4, and Avner, 18 months, depicted either as props to make the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, seem Kennedyesque, or as pitiful children overcome by the exhaustion of the trip. Until now, the wives and children of Israeli prime ministers have stayed largely in the background, and the Israeli press seems to be making some adjustments to the new style.

There has been much recent excitement about protease inhibitors, a new class of drugs that promise to prolong markedly the lives of and in some cases possibly help cure those with H.I.V. But because of the cost, a great many who would benefit from such drugs will not have access to them. For many people already infected, like myself, treatment with proteases might offer at least "two to three years of additional life -- which is a lifetime, because new drugs are appearing so fast," says Dr. Steven A. Miles, director of the AIDS research center clinic at the University of California at Los Angeles. For those just infected, Miles says, proteases "quite possibly are a cure, if you get them into you quickly enough."
