<p>From Great to Greatest
</p>
<p> His prolific scoring and fluid moves have led him to be called
the Michael Jordan of hockey, a sport better known for its goons
and gore than its grace. And when WAYNE GRETZKY--or the Great
Gretzky, as he's known--shot goal No. 802 to become the game's
all-time leading goal scorer, he certified himself as the greatest
player in hockey's history. "I skated with a lot of good players,"
said Gretzky, who has been chasing the mark for 15 seasons.
But his timing could have been better. Although a sellout crowd
packed the Kings' arena, one fan's banner revealed just what
the pecking order is in Los Angeles' tough sports world. welcome
back, magic, it read in huge capital letters, above a second,
tiny message: go gretzky.

<p>Love on the Run
</p>
<p> DREW BARRYMORE's life sometimes seems stuck in fast-forward.
A movie starlet at 7, in drug rehab at 13, author of her biography
at 14, at 19 she's become a successful, sobered-up screen bombshell.
But even her closest pals were surprised when she secretly married
Welsh-born Jeremy Thomas, a 31-year-old L. A. bar owner she's
been dating for just two months. And she just kept going--postponing a honeymoon and racing off to Arizona to shoot a
film right after the wedding, while Thomas remained in L.A.,
keeping the home fires burning.
</p>
<p>SEEN & HEARD
</p>
<p> It was a typical item from the Los Angeles police blotter: man
and woman involved in domestic dustup. But in this case, the
one led away in cuffs was wee movie star Dudley Moore. He was
released on $50,000 bail. Two days later, girlfriend Nicole
Rothschild admitted that Moore had not hit her after all and
called the whole thing a "misunderstanding."
</p>
<p> Bill Clinton finally has a new sister-in-law. After months of
delay and presidential prodding, Roger Clinton and Molly Martin
were married last Saturday in Dallas. Bill served as best man.
The couple will live in Los Angeles, where Roger is trying to
pursue a career as a rock musician. A little Clinton is expected
in May.
</p>
<p> He's the leader of a vast army of the politically incorrect,
a purveyor of ideas so vulgar that he makes Beavis and Butt-head
sound like William F. Buckley, and now he wants to enter electoral
politics. Last week best-selling author and radio motormouth
Howard Stern announced plans to run for Governor of New York
on the Libertarian ticket and received several hundred calls
of support. Stern' s platform: institute the death penalty for
gun crimes, allow road crews to work only at night, and add
extra toll takers to reduce traffic jams.
</p>
<p>La Toya Judd?
</p>
<p> She's had a disappointing career making dance records, so LA
TOYA JACKSON journeyed to Nashville last week to make--yes--her first country album. The Jackson sibling has gained attention
recently for her nasty remarks about brother Michael, but her
manager insists the record will make her "country's next heartthrob."
He says the music will sound a lot like Garth Brooks'. When
Brooks poses, as Jackson has, for a nude centerfold with a snake,
that comparison will seem a lot more reasonable.
