SEGMENT #1 - NewsWrap:  For the second consecutive year, the government of
Zimbabwe bans the national gay and lesbian group GALZ from the country's
International Book Fair;  the Canadian province of Newfoundland seems poised
to establish protections from discrimination based on sexual orientation;
 more disturbing details become available about the severe government
crackdown on gays and lesbians in Bulgaria;  queers demonstrate for legal
protections as Buenos Aires works to establish a more autonomous city
government;  President Bill Clinton says he'll ask Congress to more than
double funding for a government program that makes new AIDS drugs available
to those in the U.S. who can't afford them, and he and wife Hillary will be
honorary co-chairs of the Host Committee for this October's complete AIDS
Memorial Quilt display in Washington, D.C.;  the International Lesbian & Gay
Association identifies several countries where AIDS prevention education
efforts are being severely hampered by repressive sodomy laws;  at least
three openly-gay men were aboard TWA Flight #800;  a court in Barcelona rules
that a foreign national from Columbia can seek residency in Spain based on
his relationship with a Spanish gay man;  one of the most famous gay male
couples in the U.S. -- bodybuilding role models Bob Paris and Rod Jackson --
have split up;  London's mainstream newspaper "The Independent" comes up with
what is probably the world's longest Pride parade title;  and in Scotland,
the national gay and lesbian magazine "ScotsGay" pridefully describes the
annual celebration there as "astounding the hetties"  [compiled and written
by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, BILL STOSINE, GREG

SEGMENT #2 -  Billboard for "Tales Of The City" 20th Anniversary feature
[:05]  +  The highly-watched case of lesbian mother Mary Ward, trying to
regain custody of her daughter Cassey, was heard this past week before a
Florida appeals court.  A lower court, citing the child's need to be raised
in "a non-lesbian world", awarded custody last year to Mary's former husband
John, even though he served prison time for murdering his first wife and
failed to keep up on child support payments.  SUSAN GAGE's report includes
comments by John Ward's attorney EDWARD FLEMING, Mary Ward's attorneys
CHARLENE KARAS and KATHRYN KENDALL, and MARY WARD herself (intro/outro music
from "Home Is Where The Heart Is" performed by HOLLY NEAR and MARY TRAVERS
from the PETER, PAUL & MARY album "Lifelines")

SEGMENT #4 -  It seems hard to believe that the first installment of
ARMISTEAD MAUPIN's "Tales Of The City" appeared a little over 20 years ago in
the San Francisco Chronicle.  The original "Tales Of The City" and its
sequels have sold more than a million and a half copies worldwide, and the
first "Tales" book was adapted into a highly-praised American-British
co-produced television miniseries a couple of years ago.  This report from
London by NIGEL WRENCH and PETROC TRELAWNY [BBC Radio 5 Live's "Out This
Week"] celebrating "Tales"'s 20th includes comments by SIR IAN McKELLEN and
other British fans, and, by phone from his home in San Francisco, Maupin
tries to dissect the enduring popularity of his creation, and says a sequel
to the original "Tales" TV miniseries is still a possibility (includes
musical excerpts from "Never Can Say Goodbye" by GLORIA GAYNOR and "That's
The Way I Like It" by K.C. & THE SUNSHINE BAND) ...  8:05
