AS THE WORM TURNS: CONVERSE STILL ISN'T TALKING, OTHERS ARE

          MA-based Converse still "isn't talking" about reports
     that the company has dropped Dennis Rodman as an endorser,
     according to Greg Johnson of the L.A. TIMES.  Converse
     Senior PR Manager Kelly Buckley: "I can't shed any light on
     that issue.  I wish I could, but I can't" (L.A. TIMES,
     3/24).  Rodman's spokesperson Matt Labov, on Converse
     terminating its $15M deal with the Lakers F: "Dennis has not
     breached any terms of the contract and we expect Converse to
     honor the contract."  Labov "did not specify" what legal
     action Rodman might take (AP, 3/24).
