Nureyev Squabble Hits Our Town

The Rudolf Nureyev Dance Foundation has filed suit in Cook CountyCircuit Court seeking an injunction against the late dancer's sisterand niece. The lawsuit, filed late Monday, is aimed at blocking RozaNureyeva and her daughter, Gouzel Noureev, from contesting Nureyev'swill, which bequeathed his multimillion-dollar cooperative apartmentin New York's posh Dakota building, artwork, antiques and othervaluables to establish the foundation in his memory.

The reason for the local lawsuit? The foundation and a numberof Nureyev's attorneys are based here.

THE MEMORY BANK: Let's hope Colin Powell has a good memory.Random House is betting $6 million he does. That's the reportedadvance the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs is being paid for hismemoirs. The catch? Powell claims he's never kept a journal ornotes of meetings during his long years of top-secret service. Also,the general is taking computer lessons so he can whip out his book ona spiffy new word processor.

BILL DIGS DOGS: As he always does on every Chicago visit, BillCosby ordered four Gold Coast dogs his favorite way: with chili,onions, hot peppers and mustard. But his Friday request also calledfor two "very, very cold" Dad's root beers. Since owner BarryPotekin only stocks Barq's, he ran to the store, snapped up two Dad'sand stuck 'em in the freezer for a fast chill. On Saturday, Cosby called in a repeat order, but ran late getting tothe Cubs game (where he threw out the first pitch) and had to cancel.He called later from his Drake Hotel suite to re-order - but afterthe popular doggery had closed. No problem. Barry fired up thegrill, to Cos' delight. Word has it that Cosby, the king of TV, is here working on a realestate deal and seeking local investors for his "still-alive"proposed buyout of NBC.
