Judge Michael Sullivan set a probable cause hearing for January 14 for Berube, 26, who had been sought for allegedly posing as the grandson of oil magnate Armand Hammer. He is accused of forging Hammer's name on a check...

That view is held by some diehard advocates of détente and prominent American businessmen, such as Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum and Donald Kendall of Pepsico.

In this case, the great mogul (played with a flashy show of menacing teeth by Klaus Kinski) wishes to bump off the revolutionary (Armand Assante) and hires the rebel leader's old Harvard roommate to do the job. This character (Ray Sharkey) pretends to go along with the scheme because he is a victim both of existential ennui and of a sudden obsessional letch for the financier's wife. Much show...
