* Lite Moment: President Bush ordered up some humor with reporters Sunday. He was enjoying the unseasonably warm weather while jogging on the track at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., carefully ignoring reporters’ questions. On one of his last laps, Bush held up his fingers in a “V” symbol and yelled: “Know what this is?” One reporter suggested: “Peace?” And another: “Victory?” Said Bush: “It’s how Julius Caesar ordered four or five beers.”

* Women’s Wages: The world’s richest women got their billions the easy way: They inherited it, reports the British society magazine Harpers and Queen. Queen Elizabeth II again heads the list with $13 billion. Also included are Johanna Quandt, widow of the BMW car magnate ($5.1 billion); Imelda Marcos ($3 billion); Anne Cox Chambers and Barbara Cox Anthony ($2.76 billion each); Jacqueline Mars Vogel ($2.36 billion), and Alice L. Walton ($1.97 billion). The only self-made billionaire is German mail-order magnate Grete Schickedanz, whose $1.77 billion places her 10th.

* Sleepwarrior: Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf eats and sleeps the Persian Gulf War. In an upcoming issue of Spy magazine, excerpts from the book “Harry Benson’s People” show celebrities such as Burt Reynolds, Helen Gurley Brown and Jerry Falwell photographed in or on their beds. “Stormin’ Norman’s” picture shows he sleeps under a camouflage bedspread.

* Off the Dole: When former Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole took over as president of the American Red Cross, Washington wags said she was going for the money: The Red Cross job pays $200,000--a pretty good hike over her Cabinet paycheck of $99,500. But Dole said in Washington, D.C., Sunday--her first day on her new job--that she will work the first year for no pay. “The best way I can let volunteers know of their importance is to earn the patch on my sleeve.”
