     Fox programming chief SANDY GRUSHOW was let go on Tuesday,

Cancer Society are suing the state of SC for the rights to

medical research for the two charities that control Jackson's
estate.  A ruling is expected in a few months ("Nightly News,"
NBC, 9/28)....JACK NICKLAUS was recently spied inspecting a golf

this week" (BOSTON GLOBE, 9/28).
