     ProServ President JERRY SOLOMON released a statement from
his ex-wife, Kathy, in which she denies a report in the National
Enquirer that skater NANCY KERRIGAN, a client of Solomon's, was
responsible for the break-up of their marriage.  Solomon and
Kerrigan have publicly acknowledged their relationship.  Kathy
Solomon:  "To read quotes in the tabloids concerning things that
I have not said is appaling and hurtful to me and my son" (
WASHINGTON POST, 11/8).
     THE TABLOID MACHINE CHURNS ON:  "Entertainment Tonight"
picked up on the Enquirer story.  "ET's" Mary Hart reported
Kerrigan "is wrapped up in a steamy scandal that threatens to
tarnish her carefully polished image."  ADVERTISING AGE's Jeff
Jensen said the story could affect Kerrigan's image and
marketability:  "If this news generates a firestorm of
controversy around Nancy Kerrigan, she's going to really have to
do a lot to extinguish it.   But in the process, she's going to
sustain some serious burns that are going to impact the rest of
her career" ("ET," 11/7).  Michael Levine, a spokesperson for
Kerrigan:  "They never spoke to Kathy, yet they lead their piece
with a quote from her.  Now the mainstream press has picked it
up.  'Entertainment Tonight' did it without even checking.  My
reaction to them is, 'Shame on you'" (N.Y. POST, 11/8).

"Monday Night Football" last night, Cowboys owner JERRY JONES was
interviewed by ABC's Al Michaels.  When asked if it was
"conceivable" that he would ever coach the Cowboys, Jones replied
"No, not at all."  Jones continued, "For me to make the
investment, I had to run [the team].  I had to be involved off of
the field ... or I wouldn't have invested the money" (ABC, 11/7).
