- Dixie Chicks -- Tour
Initial ticket sales for the Dixie Chicks’ upcoming tour are far below expectations and several dates will likely be canceled or postoned. Ticket counts for the 20-plus arena shows that went on sale last weekend were averaging 5,000-6,000 per show in major markets and less in secondaries, according to sources contacted by Billboard. Venue capacities on the tour generally top 15,000. - Fred Dalton Thompson -- Presidents

Embattled former prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland is in the midst of yet a new brouhaha. It appears the Norwegian health system will foot the bill for operations that should have been paid for by France, Brundtland's current place of residence. - William Henry Harrison -- American Indians
As a two-term congressman and former territorial governor, William Henry Harrison could lay no claim to proven abilities in political leadership. But his reputation as a frontier Indian fighter and hero of the War of 1812 amply made up for that lack, and in 1840 the Whigs eagerly made him their presidential standard-bearer. In the so-called "hard cider" campaign that followed, Harrison's supporters celebrated his military prowess and combined it with homespun frontier imagery that was unprecedented for its carnival-like brouhaha. While discussion of real issues was avoided, that brouhaha proved sufficient in itself to win Harrison the presidency. - Silvio Berlusconi
Silvio Berlusconi, 69, is his country's richest man, heading a business empire that includes a large chunk of the Italian media, the AC Milan football club, insurance companies and department stores. Forbes magazine estimates that Berlusconi could be worth$12 billion. - Martin Luther -- Martin Luther Church

Much of the public information on King's use of church money to hire prostitutes and his beating them came from King's close personal friend, Rev. Ralph Abernathy (pictured above), in his 1989 book, "And the walls came tumbling down."
