NEWS LITE : HEROIN ABUSE MARS COUPLE'S MARRIAGE.

Sugerman, who has penned books on Guns N' Roses and the Doors, writes that Hall challenged him ``to either quit or share the drug with her,'' quoting her as saying: ``I'll follow you through the gates of hell (Script.)

He added, ``This woman is fascinating, and the world is fascinated by her.'' Maybe. Jeff Coplon, who helped the duchess write her autobio, ``My Story,'' will assist with the columns. The first one will be distributed April 15, her spokesman Jeffrey W. Schneider said. The column will reach 2,000 papers around the world, including some in Britain.

But though the going wisdom is ``Write what you know,'' don't expect her to dish any dirt on the royal family. Said Schneider, ``She will be focusing on children's issues and her travels.''

Bo-ring! She'll even answer readers' letters in the column, Schneider said. Now that's more like it!

``Thank you for your letter regarding the protection of the Texas Eagle,'' wrote Gore, in response to a concerned citizen who had written to him about the train. ``I share your view that the urgent problem of species extinction and the conservation of biological diversity should be addressed. . . .

Golf course sued over

Terry Lee opened wide to devour what he thought was a hot dog on a bun. He got a mouthful of dead mouse instead.

Lee has filed a $500,000 lawsuit in Walkersville, Md., against Glade Valley Golf Club and seasonal maintenance worker Charles Shawver, who Lee contends handed him the mustard-covered rodent during a December golf outing.

Club manager James Reck said Tuesday the distasteful incident ``was just a prank between two friends.''

According to the lawsuit, Lee was waiting to start a round of golf when Shawver offered him a foil-wrapped ``hot dog.'' Lee took a bite and discovered the mouse. Ever since the ``highly offensive contact,'' Lee claims he's suffered emotional pain from knowing dead rodents carry potentially fatal diseases.

O.J. says he uses links to work out the kinks

O.J. Simpson says in a magazine interview that he takes refuge from his problems by golfing on public courses, where he always finds a foursome, even though some players don't want him around.

Simpson, in the March 31 issue of Sports Illustrated, admits to getting ``some pretty funny reactions'' when golfers find he is part of their foursome. ``But nobody's walked away yet. Not once,'' he said.

Paul Hopps, assistant pro at the Rancho Park course where Simpson plays frequently, told the magazine: ``We try to give him the hint he's not welcome here. But he keeps showing up.''

Simpson, acquitted of murder but found liable in the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson Nicole Brown Simpson (May 19, 1959 – June 12, 1994) was the wife of American football player O.J. Simpson. Found murdered at her home in Los Angeles, California, along with her friend Ronald Goldman, her death led to one of the most controversial and widely-discussed criminal  and her friend Ronald Goldman, was ordered to pay millions to their survivors.

He said he has so little money, his family has been buying him golf balls. He's been banished from the exclusive clubs where he used to play. But without golf, he suggested, he'd be lost.

``For five hours a day golf takes all my concentration and nobody bugs me,'' he said. ``People are good about it. It's like a golf course is kind of sacred. If I didn't have golf, I'd be in Bellevue.''
