SUPERB ACTING in the midst of fine direction is the most impressive aspect of this production. Moore, as the self-assured and occasionally snide King Richard II, and John of Gaunt (Stephen Gutwillig) give command performances. Moore is especially powerful in Act III when Richard hears his troops have deserted him. His acting captivates the viewer as he kneels in the flashlit room speaking to the ground and questioning the "destined doom" of a king "within whose crown lies death's court" and desperately cries out, "I am a human, too." Again, Moore commands the stage during his resignation scene...
...natural and self-deprecating manner that enabled him to have fun with sex without putting audiences off by actually making fun of sex. His final appearance as an actor was on last season's Dynasty, in which he unsuccessfully chased Krystle (Linda Evans). He was already looking drawn and gaunt, causing many to speculate about his health...
Convicted on more than 50 counts of fraud and racketeering, Cook County Circuit Judge Richard F. LeFevour, 54, faced a possible 300 years in prison and fines of $103,000 when he appeared last week, gaunt and obviously unwell, for sentencing by U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle.

LeFevour had been charged with taking some $400,000 in bribes to fix drunken-driving cases and parking tickets...
That warning, combined with the gaunt images of their loved ones, persuaded the families to make public pleas to Washington and Kuwait to reverse their long-standing refusal to meet Islamic Jihad's demands. At a news conference in Washington, Peggy Say, sister of the kidnaped Anderson, warned that the situation had reached "the crisis point." Said she: "This new demand, this ultimatum, makes me feel we've got to work harder before something very bad happens." The Rev. Jesse Jackson, to whom Islamic Jihad's latest message had also been addressed, joined the families in putting pressure...
...fighting also promises to swell the stream of refugees fleeing into Sudan, which is itself suffering through a wasting famine. Almost 850,000 Ethiopians have crowded into Sudanese camps where, often, there is little shelter or food or water to be found. There is, however, peace. Mohammed Ali, a gaunt 60-year-old Ethiopian farmer, led his wife and five children on a ten-day walk to Sudan's Wad Sherife camp. At the end of the road he found scant sustenance. "I miss my village," Ali told TIME's Philip Finnegan, "but I am glad I came...
