Thursday's 4-1 vote ends a long stalemate over what to do with the 140-room oceanfront property. Two years ago, the council rejected Trump's subdivision plan.

"This allows me to create what I have always wanted, the greatest club anywhere in the world," Trump said in a statement.

Trump agreed to drop a lawsuit against the town for its earlier rejection.

Oliver North has canceled his Reader's Digest subscription to protest an article he says is an attempt to destroy him.

"I'm disappointed that Reader's Digest has now joined the pack of media jackals that has hounded us for so long," he wrote in a letter to 65,000 supporters, a copy of which was obtained by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

"Does Oliver North Tell the Truth?" the cover of this month's issue of the magazine asks. The story says several of North's former colleagues "say he cannot be trusted to tell the truth - in speech or in print, about Iran-Contra or much else."

The article names more than a dozen people, most of them politically conservative, who dispute North's assertions on matters ranging from anecdotes to federal funds.

A retired Marine lieutenant colonel, North is considering seeking the Republican nomination for the Senate when Democratic Sen. Charles Robb faces re-election next year.

The long, long list of Mick Jagger's strange bedfellows alleged in the new bio "Jagger Unauthorized" has prompted at least one strong denial.

Singer Patti LaBelle told gossip columnist Liz Smith: "When I read that I had an affair with Mick Jagger in 1965, it was sure news to me - and I'm sure it was to Mick. I may be almost 50, but there's not a lot of things I've forgotten - and this isn't one of them. . . . Everybody who knows me knows I do my crazy thing on stage, and the rest of my life is actually pretty dull."

Still awaiting word from Madonna, Eric Clapton, Princess Margaret, David Bowie and the others author Christopher Andersen names in the book as among the Rolling Stone's many non-moss-gathering flings.

A couple of years of playing Will Rogers have given Keith Carradine time to figure out why the folksy humorist was so beloved.

"On the surface, he seemed to be a very simple man. That was the core of his humor, his simplicity," Carradine said in Detroit, where the "Will Rogers Follies" opened this week.

"Beneath all that was his deep intellect. He had a profound understanding of human nature. That's why the jokes that he told are even making people laugh now."

Rogers, who died in a plane crash 58 years ago, appeared on stage and in 71 movies.

Carradine, 43, starred as Rogers when the musical opened on Broadway in 1991. The show went on tour nationally in August.
