Texans celebrate their independence, flak
DALLAS (AP)
— It has just three
colors: red, white
and blue. Just two
shapes: rectangle
and star. No pic
tures, no writing,
nothing to inter
fere with the
strong, spare elegance
of the Lone Star flag.
Deep in the heart of Texas,-some
folks mistakenly fly the flag upside down.
Along the flag’s left side is a blue perpendicular bar with a
white star. The right two-thirds are divided into two horizontal
stripes of white over red.
“Because you have this blue vertical strip that runs next to the
grommets, if you don’t pay attention, it’s very easy to put upside
down," said Charles Spain Jr., a Houston lawyer whose humilia
tion at making that mistake as a schoolboy led to a lifelong fasci
nation with the flag. He is now secretary of the Vexillological As
sociation of the State of Texas. Vexillologists are flag experts.
Donna Ohland, a 50-year-old real estate manager, flies a Texas
,^111 belonged
flag at her house. Last summer she learned she was inadvertently signaling distress by flyine MBK which
the flag with the red stripe at the top.
“Somebody told me that it’s something to do with ‘the blood runs down,’ so thaVs why
you have to have the white on top,” she said.
The Texas prison system has its own method of avoiding that mistake.
“White is for ‘clouds up.’ Clouds are always up,” said Ronnie Bond, who super
vises female inmates who sew flags for governmental use. “I don’t think people
really know how it's supposed to go.”
It’s a problem worth contemplating on Texas Flag
Day, which is today. Flag Day is celebrated on
Texas Independence Day, which marks the
day in 1836 when Texas broke away
from Mexico.
The Lone Star flag, adopted in
1839. is more distinctive than
other state flags — more
than half of which have
the state seal on a
blue background.
It was designed
to fly over an
independent
nation, the
Republic of
Texas.

Tom cruises to top
of earnings list
NEW YORK (AP) — Money is not
everything, but fame together with
money is. Or so Forbes figures.
Using a formula that combines
the two, the magazine said Tom
Cruise tops its latest Celebrity
100 list.
Hollywood stars and athletes
dominated the list, released
Thursday, with 26 coming from the
world of sports, including No. 2
Tiger Woods.
Chefs, models and authors made
it too, as well as what the magazine
called “the non
celebrity celebrity,
courtesy of reality
television.”
Richard Hatch, the
winner of last sum
mer’s “Survivor,”
ranked 77th.
Making the
top 10 were three
teen sensations
People in the News
Cruise, who starred in last
summer’s biggest box-office suc
cess, Mission: Impossible 2, vault
ed to No. 1 from No. 20 last year.
Not only did he earn much more
money in 2000 than in 1999
($43.2 million vs. $27 million),
but his media exposure increased
dramatically.
The top 10 in order: Tom
Cruise, Tiger Woods, the Beaties,
Britney Spears, Bruce Willis,
Michael Jordan, the Backstreet
Boys, ’N Sync, Oprah Winfrey and
Mel Gibson.

Jennifer Lopez, who recently
had the No. 1 movie and album in
the country, made her debut on
the list, as did Ben Affleck and the
“Friends” women: Jennifer Anis-
ton, Courteney Cox-Arquette and
Lisa Kudrow.
The third annual Forbes
Celebrity 100 quahtified celebrity
by combining earning power with,
star power, including press clips,
TV and radio mentions, cover sto
ries and Web hits. In its March 19
issue, Forbes first determined
who made the cut by totaling up
top celebrity earners in 14 cate
gories. Then media attention and
other “metrics of fame” were fac-.
tored in.
Last year’s No. 1, Julia Roberts/
fell to No. 16 despite her hit movie
Erin Brockovich and being the
odds-on favorite for the best-ac
tress Oscar later this month. «
“She just didn’t make as much
money this year as she did last
year,” said Pete Newcomb, the se
nior editor who oversaw compila
tion of the list.
Noting that Forbes considers it
self a capitalist tool and not a
pop-culture bible like Entertain
ment Weekly, he said: “Money
gets the priority weight.”
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) — Ac
tress Ann-Margret canceled re
maining perfor
mances at a
theater here to

California to care
for her critically ill
mother, produc

to a statement on Wednesday
from Proctor’s Theatre in this city
west of Albany.
Ann-Margret was to appear in
The Best Little Whorehouse in
Texas through Sunday. The show
opened on Tuesday.
The 59-year-old actress ap
peared in Grumpy Old Men and its
sequel, Grumpier Old Men, in the
1990s.
