POWER OUTINGS:

Supporters of the National Head Injury Foundation are taking the trendy
power breakfast one step further.  They planned to meet at 7:30 this
morning

for a Monopoly showdown at Loews L'Enfant Plaza.  At the gaming tables:
James and Sarah Brady, brewmeister Gary Heurich, former First Hairdresser

Robin Weir, and all those seaworthy hunks swabbing the decks in Ford's
Theatre's "Captains Courageous."

* As for Hollywood, the No.  1 power breakfast spot is anywhere Mike
Ovitz eats, even if it's alone in bed.  For the second straight year,
Entertainment Weekly has put the Creative Artists Agency chairman at the
top of its Power 101 list.

On the CAA client list: Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise and Madonna, who was
the only household name to make it into the top 10.

* Gail Berendzen's Women of Washington group gets together Nov.  11 to
decide whether this Year of the Woman in Politics turned out the way they
wanted.  Newsweek's Eleanor Clift and NPR's Nina Totenberg weigh in their
views.

BUT DID SHE INHALE?:

The supermarket tabloid Star, first to give ink to Gennifer Flowers'
story, now maintains the Duchess of York bought marijuana from a guard at
Buckingham Palace.

Former guardsman Billie Costello says Fergie sought him out to make her
purchases.  Other soldiers were in the same trade, he says, but Fergie was
his exclusive, which is why he was "ambushed" by detectives and convicted
of possessing and selling drugs.  After six months in a military prison and
a dishonorable discharge in 1988, Billie moved on to more tolerant
Amsterdam.

TO BALDLY GO:

Don't mention hair loss to Patrick Stewart.

When a writer for the November issue of Playboy observed that as Capt.
Jean-Luc Picard on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," Mr.  Stewart made
baldness "sexy for a new generation," the captain lost his head.

"If I had a huge wart, you wouldn't refer to it," he said.  "You might
keep looking at it, but you wouldn't refer to it.  And yet, with baldness
it's open season - always."

NOT THE EVENING NEWS:

Donna Mills says she always wanted to be a TV journalist, just like
Diane Sawyer and Jane Pauley.  Well, at least her tresses are the right
color.

"I always very much envied people like Katie Couric and the others
because they get to meet the most interesting people in the world and be
there when history is made," she said while publicizing "The President's
Child," a tele-pic on CBS tonight.

Her role as a Barbara Walters type in the thriller may be as close as
she'll ever come to achieving this career goal.

"I can't write," she assures the viewing public.  "I turn to stone when
someone puts a pen in my hand, and computers scare me, too.  I can't even
think of what to put on a postcard."
