Bryant accused the Hare Krishnas of child abuse, drug dealing and systematic violence. He charged that the Krishna temple near Moundsville, W. Va. -- a 4,000-acre community called New Vrindaban that features an Oz-like palace decorated with gold leaf -- was becoming like the Rev. Jim Jones' notorious People's Temple...
...Edmund in Laurence Olivier's TV King Lear, proves an inspired successor. He has mastered the stereotypical Cockney's accusatory inflections, rough humor, feral grace and odd parlor tricks, from a no-hands bobbing of his hat on his head to incessant, playful swiping of a bystander's gold watch. He brings vitality to such shopworn comedy as passing out, being revived and protesting, "Here! I didn't faint for water."

...South African Krugerrand was far and away the world's top-selling gold bullion coin for years.

Passengers who wish to slosh champagne on the open rear platform and watch the world whiz by can do so for a trifling $2,000 a day (drinks included...
...Elysees, one of the world's most fashionable boulevards, momentarily became a runway last week. The stunt occurred after the street had been closed to traffic for the shooting of a promotional film to aid Paris' bid for the 1992 Olympic Games. As the cameras rolled and 1976 Olympic Gold Medal Hurdler Guy Drut ran, torch in hand, up the deserted avenue, a blue, single-engine Rallye-Club suddenly zoomed in over the Arc de Triomphe and put down in a perfect landing...
