OSSIE DAVIS, who died last week in Miami Beach, at 87, was an actor, playwright, film director and civil rights spokesman who invested each role with passion and purity. Born Raiford Chatman Davis (the initials R.C. became Ossie), he wrote two successful Broadway shows--Purlie Victorious, a satire of race relations, and its musical version, Purlie--and, decades later, became the patriarchal conscience of seven Spike Lee films (among them Do the Right Thing...

The entourage descends on Paris and quickly fans out--the goats to smell (and sometimes taste) the flowers in the Luxembourg Gardens, the cows to gaze at paintings of cows in the Louvre, the hens to cackle at the cancan dancers at the Folies Bergčre.
