...sole survivor of the 1918 massacre of the Russian imperial family. But she died in 1984 without ever proving her claim, and her true identity remains uncertain. Now Anderson has again been the cause of controversy, this time over who would play her in a four-part nbc version of Anastasia shot in Vienna for broadcast this winter. According to Amy Irving, the producers picked her first. When she passed, the role was offered to Nastassja Kinski.

Although pagers can provide tone or voice messages, many drug merchants prefer the digital version that displays a caller's return telephone number. They are also partial to pagers that vibrate silently rather than giving off an audible signal. Dealers sometimes use fronts to sign with a paging service to thwart easy tracing. But not always: "We do get some strange or spooky clients in here," says one Miami beeper salesman. "I've never seen so many people who didn't have driver's licenses, even though I just saw them drive up in a Mercedes...
