...startling move, Bernard Cardinal Law of Boston called last week for a moratorium on all demonstrations outside abortion clinics to prevent "anything which might engender anger or some other form of violence." Instead, he wrote in the Archdiocesan paper the Pilot, he will designate five churches for antiabortion prayer vigils. "It is very significant when a prominent bishop asks pro-lifers to roll back their activities," says Lawler. But while the National Conference of Catholic Bishops supported Law's action in the Boston area, it stressed that each bishop is sovereign in his own diocese and that there...

Gary Oldman, who hasn't had a decent movie role since he played Rosencrantz (or was it Guildenstern?), seems suited to the role of Beethoven.

Like many a first work, Look Back in Anger is a memory play -- a self- portrait of the artist as an angry young man. Its most wrenching speech, about seeing a loved one die, is a replay of Osborne's witnessing the death of his father, an advertising copywriter in London. Jimmy's gibes at snooty relatives are Osborne's revenge on his barmaid mother Nellie Beatrice. Madeline, the lost love Jimmy pines for, is based on Stella Linden, a rep- company actress who first encouraged Osborne to write. At 21 he married actress Pamela Lane, whom he transformed with...
