"Good Morning America" co-host Joan Lunden and estranged husband Michael Krauss reached a settlement in their bitter divorce just as the case was to go to trial.

The settlement reached Tuesday bars terms from being disclosed, said Norman Sheresky, Krauss' attorney.

Stan Rosenfield, a spokesman for Lunden, said Lunden would not comment on the settlement.

Lunden, 42, and Krauss, 53, had been married 14 years when they split in January 1992. They have three daughters, ages 12, 8 and 5.

In June, a judge ordered Lunden to pay Krauss, a TV producer, temporary maintenance of $18,000 a month plus expenses.

Former President George Bush will get a piece of the Berlin Wall next month at Texas A&M University.

The 2 1/2-ton section of the wall will be presented April 21 to Bush by two Berlin companies: Axel Springer Group, a major communications company, and Krone Group, a communications hardware firm.

It will later be placed in Bush's presidential library at Texas A&M, the school announced Monday.

Mark Farner is rocking for God now, but he hasn't given up his Funk.

Much of the born-again Christian's act consists of material from his days as singer-guitarist for the rock band Grand Funk Railroad, including songs like "I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home" and "Some Kind of Wonderful."

Although he describes himself as a God rocker, Farner performs mostly in secular clubs and bars. He doesn't say much about religion during the show, but makes himself available afterward.

"It's not like we go in and beat people over the head with the Bible and tell them they're all going to hell," the 44-year-old Flint native recently told The Flint Journal.
