20-20 Vision: John Sununu will be dumped as White House chief of staff, Pee-wee Herman will run into trouble and the Soviet Union will disintegrate. The Procrastinators Club of America finally got around to releasing its predictions for 1991 and, as usual, the group is claiming 100% accuracy. Acting President Les Waas had it right: “It’s all a matter of timing.”

Who Doo Dat?: A posse of “Marching Kennedys” dropped their trousers, chugged champagne and stole the show at Miami’s King Mango Strut, a wacky, wicked cousin to the Orange Bowl parade and the spitting image of Pasadena’s Doo-Dah festivities. The “Kennedys,” in blue blazers and khaki pants over boxer shorts, followed a woman in a black dress and pearls whose face was covered with a blue blob. The William Kennedy Smith rape trial wasn’t the only Florida event to inspire the marchers. Ethan Bradford, a tourist from Anchorage, says muggings were almost the norm in the Florida city, and although he hadn’t actually been mugged he carried a sign: “Visit Miami Anyway.”

Schuss!: An out-of-control skier barreled into King Juan Carlos on the slopes of the Spanish resort of Baqueira over the weekend, knocking him down and injuring his right knee. The king cut short his skiing holiday with Queen Sofia and youngest daughter, Cristina, and retreated to his vacation home near the slopes to recuperate. The royals will cut short their vacation by about a week and return to Madrid so Juan Carlos can get X-rays.

Winner: Ninibeth Beatriz Leal Jimenez, 20, is ready to travel the world for a year and get $100,000 to do it as winner of the Miss World contest. The industrial engineering student from Venezuela beat 78 other contestants and will raise money for charity on her travels. In the midst of flashing camera lights at the site of the Atlanta competition, Jimenez says her theme will be “peace and goodwill.”
