...ordinary person, real polite and real nice," recalls Faye Moore, wife of a Pentecostal preacher in Stoneburg, Texas. "I never knew him to take a drink, and he never used foul language." One humid May morning last year, Moore's husband Reuben, 52, gave Lucas and his companion Freida ("Becky") Powell, Toole's 15-year-old niece, a lift in Montague County, Texas. He offered the couple room and board in exchange for chores around his makeshift church. Thirteen months later, following Lucas' confessions, the remains of Powell and one of Moore's neighbors, Katherine Pearl...
Lucas, who is scheduled to be tried in Texas this week for Freida Powell's murder, has already been sentenced to 75 years, after pleading guilty Sept. 30 to the slaying of Katherine Rich. He has been officially charged with twelve other murders during the past eight years. His lawyer plans to plead in the Powell case that his client is not guilty by reason of insanity...
Betty Ford was a devotee. Former Macy's Executive George Greenberg, 60, Loehmann's chairman and president, recalls a woman approaching him and saying: "Coming to Loehmann's is like therapy forme." Loehmann's has been affecting its clientele this way since 1920, when Freida Loehmann opened a clothing shop under her Brooklyn apartment, started paying cash to top makers for garment overruns and selling them at deep discounts, also for cash...
PRIEST OF LOVE is undoubtedly the longest two-hour movie ever made. Billed as razzle-'em, dazzle-'em intimate portrait of D.H.Lawrence (lan McKellen) and his German wife. Freida (Janet Suzman), the movie is simply a series of bangs that end with a whimper. Director Christopher Miles has apparently confused action with sex, character with caricature. With Priest of Love, he achieves the impossible. He reduces the pathos of Lawrence last years, spent in exile and pain, to a cheap thrill. Lawrence and Freida leave England soon after the British censor. Herbert G. Muskett (John Gielgud) publicly burns available copies...
Suzman, on the other hand, is given a relatively easier task in the role of Freida. Though adding an unnecessarily, harsh teutonic accent, she brings dimension to Freida that only heightens the absence of a strong Lawrence opposite her. She explains her passion and makes clear her strange love for this strange man, in moving scenes. Incensed at Mabel for questioning whether she is indeed the right woman for Lawrence, Freida launches into a tirade. Her incoherent anger, her rage at abandoning her children 12 years before, the passion so clearly emerging from character development, make us sympathize with this...
