INSIDE TRACK: Kerry-Heinzs bow to parking pressure. Gayle Fee; Laura Raposa.

Word from Louisburg Square is that Sen. John Kerry and Teresa Heinz led a pre-emptive strike the other night and got word to a neighborhood meeting that they would abide by the two parking-space limit.
Wonders never cease . . .
The Square-ites, steamed about the Kerry-Heinz's piggy parking practice of cramming cars into four spaces, sat down the other night to sound off about their neighbors.
But, before anyone could grouse about the haughty Heinz-Kerrys, an F.O.K. piped up saying that the residents of No. 19 would bow to pressure and only use the Square's customary - but not mandated - two-car parking allowance.
Which is the least they could do considering the couple's Fire Plug Relocation Project (also known as Little Dig) and repairs on a hinky sewer line have wreaked havoc on the elite enclave for weeks. We think Miss Manners would agree.
Kerry's spin on the meeting was that it was called "to deal with a parking issue at the opposite end of the Square."
"It was related to the two condos down there," said the senator's spokesman, Michael Meehan.
Hmmmm . . .
But we hear what really got the neighbors fired up was that Kerry had been heard joking that since he and Teresa had that pesky fire hydrant removed from in front of their palatial pad, they now had five spaces. Ha. Ha.
Just call them the Beacon Hill Pills!

Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung was arraigned yesterday on federal charges of making illegal campaign contributions and ordered to return to court next week to enter his plea.
Chung's lawyer said the Taiwanese-born businessman will plead guilty to charges that include funneling $20,000 in illegal donations to the Clinton-Gore campaign and $8,000 to the campaign of Senator John Kerry, D-Mass.
