...spinning wheel while audience members clapped and cheered an encouraging "Pa-je-ro! Pa-je-ro!" But when the taped program aired on June 17, the customary end-of-show ritual had undergone an important change. Instead of the "Pajero!" chant, producers had dubbed in a different cheer: "Ku-ru-ma! Ku-ru-ma!"?meaning simply "Car! Car!" Starting in July, the show is likely to replace the Pajero with another award entirely. "The prize is supposed to be this wonderful thing that makes everyone happy," says Shigeyuki Tsuruoka, the show's producer. "If we continued to present the Pajero...
...haunted-hero roles at Warner; Reagan got the scraps, like the part of a suicidal epileptic in the 1947 Night unto Night. After a decade, Warner still hadn't decided what genre best suited Reagan. Melodrama? Let him play a small-town D.A. in the 1951 anti--Ku Klux Klan Storm Warning, with another lynch-mob scene and heavy emoting from all the principals but Reagan. Comedy?

Chenoweth and D'Abruzzo have been seen, fleetingly, on "Sesame Street" - the first as Ms. Noodle, the second as a puppeteer...
...DIED. KU SANG, 85, one of Korea's most revered poets, who was hounded by authoritarian regimes on both sides of the divided peninsula; in Seoul. Ku's family moved to the north from Seoul when he was a boy, but after the communist takeover, officials deemed his writing "ideologically flawed," and he was forced to flee southward in 1947. In the early '50s, he was imprisoned for eight months by the South Korean regime for criticizing its abuses of power...
...black-led local commemoration of the Brown anniversary. "Mr. Elliott is very sincere," says Joe De Laine Jr., 71, son of the late Rev. Joseph De Laine, who led the fight to get Briggs v. Elliott heard in court but then had to flee South Carolina after Ku Klux Klansmen attacked his house. "But we [blacks] can't stand there muted for this commemoration, listening to others tell us what we and our families did." It will be hard to agree on how to achieve integration in Summerton when blacks and whites can't even agree on how to celebrate...
