More accusations about Home State's financial dealings may emerge next week during a Cincinnati hearing involving the divorce of the thrift's former president, Burton Bongard. His ex-wife Susan, represented by Los Angeles Attorney Marvin Mitchelson, claims that Bongard cheated her in their division of property, which included the sale last year of his 15% share of Home State. Bongard contends he sold the stock to Warner for $277,000 because that was all he could get for it. But his former wife charges that the bank president received a secret bonus of $3 million taken from...
...decision overturned the conviction and death sentence of Glen Burton Ake, who killed a minister and his wife in Oklahoma in 1979 at the start of a monthlong crime spree. Ake pleaded insanity and asked for a psychiatric examination to evaluate his mental state at the time of the crime. The state refused and unsuccessfully argued before the Supreme Court that providing psychiatrists would prove too costly. Ake now faces a new trial.

Against this complexity of emotion. Radford masterfully exploits the iciness of Richard Burton's Inner Party member, O'Brien. Whether torturing or consoling, Burton never moves a facial muscle or changes an inflection. He is the ideal Party member, a living synthesis of rose dogma spouted without intellect or feeling. Burton's coldly surreal performance is as horrifying as the best Becket...
...Hamilton plays her harshly lighted love scenes with a nakedness, both physical and emotional, that is astonishing in its neediness. By making the romance more explicit, Radford gives it a pathos and a symbolic weight that are, if anything, more affecting than in the novel. Finally, the late Richard Burton as O'Brien, the couple's betrayer and interrogator, gives a last performance that is all silky corruption, perfumed malice in every beautifully measured phrase...
