President Bush's daughter, Dorothy Bush LeBlond, is straying across party lines to marry a top aide to one of her father's most vocal Democratic critics, Rep. Richard Gephardt.

The bride-to-be's parents are "thrilled," Perez said.
The California Supreme Court has refused to intervene in a legal battle over whether actor Robin Williams gave a former lover herpes.
The court's decision cleared the way for an August trial in the $6.2 million lawsuit filed by Michelle Tish Carter in 1987.
The Los Angeles woman claims she contracted the disease in late 1985, more than a year after she and Williams started dating.
Williams has countersued Carter for extortion.
"Life Goes On" might not. Certainly not for the character played by actor Tommy Puett.
Puett said the ABC series' future is in doubt, and that his character, Tyler Benchfield, will meet his end in a car crash at this season's end.
Puett revealed Benchfield's date with destiny during Thursday's taping of "Attitudes," a talk show on cable's Lifetime channel. The episode will air March 4.
"Life Goes On" stars an actor with Down syndrome playing a young man afflicted with the same handicap. Its biggest handicap is its time slot, however: It airs Sundays at 7 p.m. against CBS' "60 Minutes."
Michael Jackson's trademark white, crystal-beaded glove is back in a display case at the Motown Museum in Detroit, where it was stolen by a fan last fall.
The glove, which the pop star donated to the museum, went back on display Thursday for the first time since the theft Sept. 30, museum Director Esther Edwards said.
The glove was recovered four days later when the thief surrendered to police. But its display was delayed "until we could guarantee the kind of security that would deter future incidents," Edwards said.
