By Val Castronovo, Matthew Cooper, Lina Lofaro, Desa Philadelphia, Alain L. Sanders, Flora Tartakovsky and Josh Tyrangiel

MY OWN WORST ENEMY The following notables have seen the enemy, and he is them.

Michael Moore vs. Michael Moore The lefty film director is one of the loudest critics of the policies of the other Moore, director general of the World Trade Organization.

Richard A. Gephardt vs. Richard A. Gebhardt The House minority leader is facing a primary challenge from unknown Gebhardt. Gephardt has added "Dick" to his name on the ballot.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar vs. Karim Abdul-Jabbar The basketball star sued the Cleveland Brown for appropriating his name. They settled; now Karim sports only "Abdul" on his jersey.
