DIED. LOUIS MALLE, 63, French film director; of complications from lymphoma; in Beverly Hills. Working on both sides of the Atlantic, Malle unflinchingly explored topics like incest (1971's Le Souffle au Coeur), France's collaboration with its Nazi occupiers (Lacombe, Lucien, 1974) and child prostitution (1978's Pretty Baby, his first American film, which also launched Brooke Shields). Yet Malle's high-voltage subject matter contrasted with an often reflective style that reached its apex in his second American film Atlantic City (1981), which starred Burt Lancaster as an aging hood playing out the role of dashing outlaw that...

French film director Louis Malle died in Beverly Hills of complications of lymphoma. Working on both sides of the Atlantic, Malle feelingly but frankly explored such difficult topics as incest (1971's "Le Souffle En Coeur") and child prostitution ("Pretty Baby", his 1978 American debut). Yet his high-voltage subjects contrasted with an often reflective style, captured in his stateside success "Atlantic City" (1980), starring Burt Lancaster as an aging hood, and 1981's "My Dinner with Andre", in which two friends wrestle over the earthly, the transcendent, and some painfully nouvelle cuisine. Malle called "Au Revoir Les Enfants...

One thing he will do is liberalize the abortion laws in Poland, which only allow for abortion in the case of rape, incest, or threat of life to the mother. Other than that, Kwansniewski is expected to basically maintain the status...

Christopher Durang '71s "Titanic" is theater for the id. Chronicling the final, hedonistic days of a dysfunctional family on the famously doomed ship, "Titanic" throws concepts like taste and restraint overboard, treating the audience to a voyeuristic daytrip through neurosis, incest and the broadest of sexual humor. Alexander S. Franklin '96's new production of "Titanic," through the strengths of its cast, steers a tight course through the hazards of obscenity and shock and treats the audience to a naughty good time...

...patently aggrieved President Clinton has threatened to veto. The chamber approved a dramatically pared-back social-spending bill for next year; the measure nixes more than 100 programs and contains many controversial directives, including one allowing states to deny Medicaid funding of abortions in cases of rape or incest. The House also passed a landmark bill that would broadly deregulate the telecommunications industry. And the g.o.p. leadership succeeded in reversing an earlier vote and steering through a measure that would strip the epa of funds next year to enforce the nation's major antipollution laws...
