Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, not very popular these days in Canada, knows a lot about public opinion. So, he told Washington Post editors, he offered some advice to President Clinton during Mulroney's visit to D.C. last week.

"You've got to wear your unpopularity as a badge of honor," because everyone becomes unpopular when they do significant things.

"The campaign's over, so stay home and work. Don't give so many speeches.

"Put those doughty gray-heads, Warren Christopher and Lloyd Bentsen, on TV more often, so that citizens see what wise appointments you've made."

Arnold Schwarzenegger resigned last week as chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness. The action hero and active Republican ended his resignation letter this way:

"Somewhere along the line, if I can help you with this mission, just give me a call - and, to borrow a phrase, `I'll be back.' "

Will Shannen Doherty be dropped from "Beverly Hills, 90210?"

People magazine reports that Executive Producer Aaron Spelling is looking to dump Doherty from the TV show.

Spelling reportedly is upset by the negative influence he feels Doherty has on his daughter, Tori. The magazine reports that the 20-year-old Tori has been engaging recently in the sort of hard partying and public pugnacity that earned Doherty her bad-girl reputation.

One source told People: "With Tori getting caught up in [Shannen's lifestyle] now, Aaron is beside himself as a father."

While Spelling may want to dump Doherty, there is a hitch: She still has 28 episodes left in her contract.

Joe Louis, already with a special place in boxing history, is getting one in philately.

The U.S. Postal Service is issuing a commemorative stamp June 22 honoring the late heavyweight champion, making Louis the first fighter so recognized.

The occasion will be marked by a ceremony to be held in a ring set up at Joe Louis Arena in Louis' hometown of Detroit.
