WILMINGTON, Del. - MBNA Corp.'s board appointed director Randolph Lerner as chairman and Charlie Cawley, the second-biggest credit-card issuer's president, as chief executive officer yesterday. The two men succeed Al Lerner, Randolph's father, who died of brain cancer at age 69 last month. He also owned the Cleveland Browns professional football team. Randolph Lerner, 40, has been on the board since 1993 and is a partner at the investment management firm Securities Advisors L.P., the successor of R.D. Lerner Securities Inc., which he has managed since September 1991, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

WOMEN HAVE a reputation for talking everything to death. We cannot seem to rest until we have processed every relationship, every situation, through the inadequate vehicle of words. Very often, things are worse for it. Certainly those closest to us, our husbands and our children, might agree. We often drive them away or make matters worse. Harriet Lerner, a psychotherapist and a best-selling author, has been helping people - mostly women - deal with relationship issues for a decade in a series of books that began with The Dance of Intimacy in 1990.

Mike Lerner is coming home. The former Hammond pitcher will coach the Golden Bears baseball team next spring. Hammond athletic director and former baseball coach Bob Maxey could not be happier about turning the program over to one of his former players. "He's the perfect fit for us," said Maxey, who coached the Bears to a county championship and 20-2 record last spring, earning The Sun's Howard County Coach of the Year honor before stepping down after 17 seasons. "He'll take the program to bigger and better things.

WHEN Cleveland Browns president Carmen Policy was apologizing yesterday, it was reminiscent of another president saying he did not have sex with a certain woman. You just don't believe him. You can't believe any man named Carmen. Maybe it's the slicked-back hair. Or maybe it's because he almost killed one of the NFL's most storied franchises, the San Francisco 49ers, by circumventing the salary cap and then denying it before the truth came out. And now, one day after failing to condemn some of the ugliest behavior in professional sports, Policy was on national television apologizing for his own statements, not the behavior of the drunkards and hooligans who pelted referees and Jacksonville Jaguars players as they left Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday.

People going through unimaginably tough times deserve a ray of light in their lives, and Monday one shone on Matt Corrigan, a captain in the New York City Fire Department. Since Sept. 11, he has dealt tirelessly with the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse. On Nov. 12, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed 10 blocks from where his 121st ladder company is stationed in Rockaway Beach. Golf Channel reporter Rich Lerner met Corrigan during an assignment and invited him and fellow fire chief Ken Eichele -- whose Manhattan company lost nine men in the terrorist attacks -- to the Harbor House Celebrity Invitational, a charity golf event in Orlando, Fla. The firefighters stayed at the posh Portofino Inn at Universal Studios, played several courses in the area and took part in the invitational fund-raiser.

Twenty lawyers, including four lower court judges, will vie for the two imminent vacancies on the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, according to the list of applicants released by the state courts last night. The large number of hopefuls for what might be the last Circuit Court appointments in the county made by Gov. Parris N. Glendening surprised some court observers, but others had anticipated a flood of applicants as many lawyers said in recent weeks that they were considering applying.
