Zsa Zsa Gabor on Monday left the media-besieged El Segundo, Calif., jail where she chose to spend her 72-hour sentence for slapping a Beverly Hills police officer, virtually ending her publicity-mad misdemeanor case.

Surrounded by about 100 reporters and onlookers and at least one heckler who told her to go back to Hungary, Gabor, 72, said she spent her jail time doing secretarial work that was slightly hampered by her ignorance of the alphabet.

Chuck Berry, the rock 'n' roll star, surrendered to St. Charles, Mo., police Monday to face charges of marijuana possession and child abuse, authorities said.

The St. Charles County sheriff's office said Berry, who had been on tour in Europe, surrendered Monday morning and was taken to jail, where he was booked.

Connie Chung said Monday that she's putting her new CBS television series on hold while she tries to become pregnant.

"We want very much to have a child," said Chung, 43, who is married to "A Current Affair" anchorman Maury Povich, 51. "Unfortunately, time is running out for me when it comes to childbearing."

Marilyn Quayle, recuperating from a hysterectomy, celebrated her 41st birthday Sunday with her family and spent part of the day responding to a deluge of get-well messages and cards, a spokeswoman said Monday.

Quayle, wife of Vice President Dan Quayle, is recovering well but will curtail her schedule for the next four to six weeks in accordance with her doctor's advice, said Denise Balzano, her chief of staff.
