TOPSIDER -- Quickly segueing from Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Maria Shriver, country warbler Taylor Swift is reportedly dating Robert Kennedy, Jr's 18- year old son Coner. So serious are the couple, she's rented a house near the Kennedy compound and has sailed with Conor -- or, as the Kennedys call it "Swift Boating."
GRIM GREENERY -- En route to a dismal tie for 39th place in the Barkley's Playoff, Tiger Woods for the first time in his pro career posted four 3-putts in a single round. Even worse -- also a first -- he had to settle for only six bimbos that night.
ONE SMALL STEP -- French drivers are about to storm the Bastille over a new law requiring them to carry an alcohol "Breath-a-lizer" kit behind the wheel of a vehicle. Applicable also to visiting tourists, most of them consider the law a step in the right direction since it could lead to the development of a "Rude-o-meter."
SUPER STAR OF RENT-A-CAR -- Longtime car rental leader and legendary O.J.Simpson employer Hertz Rent-a-Car has purchased Thrifty Rent-a-Car for $2.5 million. Well, not quite. Actually, Thrifty only got $1.8 million after topping off the tanks of their cars before turning them in.
UNCLE SAM WINSTON -- Despite criticism, the U.S. military recruiters continue to advertise at events popular among youth like NASCAR, bass fishing, pro wrestling, truck pulls and demolition derbies. One small success, though -- no more Marlboro logos or Joe Camel stenciled on the sides of Army Humvees.
