...DIED. JOHNNIE JOHNSON, 80, boogie-woogie early rock-'n'-roll pianist who gave Chuck Berry his first break in his then-popular trio, and later as Berry's bandmate and co-writer, shaped the rock legend's inventive sound; in St. Louis. Johnson, for whom Berry wrote Johnny B. Goode, played on such tunes as Maybelline, Rock and Roll Music, and Roll over Beethoven. He later backed Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, and in 2001 was introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
...first show offers stories ranging from a witty profile of Movie He-Man Chuck Norris (Code of Silence, Missing in Action), who plays cut-rate Rambos, to a quirky but oddly compelling segment about the recipient of the heart of Jon-Erik Hexum, a TV hunk who died after accidentally shooting himself last year. Another episode deals with the daughter of Leo Ryan, the California Congressman whose investigation of the Jim Jones cult in Guyana in 1978 led to Ryan's murder and the ensuing mass suicides. Today Ryan's daughter is a follower of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, an Indian...
Democrats got their own back in Virginia, where they won a sweep of the races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and attorney general.

...cold war's back, and Hollywood's got it. Rambo muscles his way into Viet Nam and gets to win this time. Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger make every infidel bleed red, white and blue. And now, Mikhail Baryshnikov stars in a parable about a ballet star who eight years ago sought asylum in the West only to plunge into a refugee's nightmare: his plane crash-lands in Siberia, and he's back in the U.S.S.R. Once again, the good guys wear white, the bad guys...
Died. Johnnie Johnson, 80, thumping boogie-woogie blues and early rock-'n'-roll pianist who on New Year's Eve 1952 gave Chuck Berry his first break, in Johnson's popular trio, and later, as Berry's bandmate and co-writer, shaped the rock legend's inventive sound; in St. Louis, Mo. Johnson, for whom Berry wrote Johnny B. Goode, slammed the keys on such tunes as Maybellene, Rock & Roll Music and Roll Over Beethoven. Johnson later backed John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, and in 2001 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
