He made it big as White House spokesman for former President Bill Clinton, but now Mike McCurry is reaching for the proverbial mountaintop. The flack some consider among the best ever tells us that he's doing a little freebie work for the United Methodist Church. The project: "Nothing but Nets," a program to raise money to buy bed nets for families in Africa who suffer from pesky mosquitoes carrying malaria. "It's really a cool thing," he says. Look for the program the next time you attend an NBA game. McCurry says basketball stars are hitting the boards to support the fundraising drive that's already collected a whopping $16 million.
