- <p> Ever since he retired after the gulf war, this popular
- general has sparked standing ovations across the U.S. with
- rousing speeches about can-do American fighting spirit--90
- chats so far at $20,000 a pop. No, not Stormin' Norman. The
- military hero of the rubber-chicken circuit is TOM KELLY, the
- avuncular Army commander who conducted daily Pentagon briefings
- during the war. Kelly, who has signed for 60 more speeches,
- stands to earn some $3 million this year, far more than he made
- during his 34-year military career and millions of dollars more
- than Schwarzkopf has made on the podium. Marvin Josephson,
- Schwarzkopf's agent, says the former Desert Storm commander is
- too busy writing his book to hit the circuit.
