...dementia and a symbiotic murder-suicide by urges that both share but neither understands, seems a scenario only Cronenberg could dream up. In fact, the story comes from the novel Twins, by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, which in turn was based on the case history of Drs. Cyril and Stewart Marcus, a pair of respected gynecologists who in 1975 were found dead in a Manhattan apartment. From these threads Cronenberg has spun a fantasia of split personality and the vulnerable male ego. The film's identical twins, Elliot and Beverly Mantle (both played by Jeremy Irons), are Toronto doctors...
...walkout had just ended, but Cyril Ramaphosa could not slow down. The general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers was in his Johannesburg office at 7 a.m. to arrange for the reinstatement of 37,000 workers who had been fired during the strike.

Twenty years ago, Heidnik's father, Michael, 74, a former Eastlake, Ohio, councilman, disowned the son, and he has not seen him since then. Last week he proclaimed...
...down some four dozen witnesses, 21 of whom appear in the TV trial. Those testifying for the prosecution range from experts in pathology and ballistics to former Oswald acquaintances like Buell Wesley Frazier, who drove him to work on the day of the assassination. The defense witnesses include Dr. Cyril Wecht, a pathologist, who argues that a single bullet could not (as the official version states) have struck both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, and others who give evidence suggesting that Oswald was the patsy in a conspiracy, possibly involving Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby. The trial includes...
