Said General Manager Dan Duquette: "Our first commitment is to our season-ticket holders. The remainder . . . must be given to major league baseball."

While the National League lost Tuesday night's All Star Game, some wheelchair-bound baseball fans say they were losers too. Al Alcocer, a Vietnam veteran who lost his legs to a mortar round, is angry that while other baseball devotees paid from $40 to $60 to see the midsummer classic, people in wheelchairs could not attend the game for less than $50.

Rick, who preferred not to use his last name for this story, could have been describing symptoms that lead to family counseling or group therapy. But this was uglier. Rick became a part of nightmare that is All-Star ticket hell.

Delta Burke won't be the only "Designing Women" star on hand for the Emmy Awards Sunday night, after all. Co-stars Annie Potts, Jean Smart, Dixie Carter and Meshach Taylor had sent a letter to executives at Columbia Pictures Television, which produces the show for CBS, complaining that the studio failed to provide them with tickets to the telecast (cost: $500 each), despite the fact that the series is nominated for best comedy.
