...Angeles legal newspaper, the Daily Journal, claims O.J. Simpson will appeal last year's civil-case decision against him. Simpson, who was cleared by a criminal jury, lost the wrongful death suit in civil court for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Simpson, says the Journal, will attempt to have the $33 million judgment against him overturned, or at least reduced. His lawyers filed their papers Thursday, saying the jury acted out of malice and prejudice. Fred Goldman, father of Ron, said he will fight any such move...
...perch, it is because he is seen as one of the rare Tinseltown practitioners. Raised in rural Michigan, he has fond memories of roaming the woods with his .22-cal. rifle (and unhappy ones of his parents' broken marriage). He studied drama at Northwestern University, where he met his wife, Lydia Clarke, an actress and photographer. They have been married for 54 years and remain close to their two grown children. As for his six-year-old grandson Jack, who lives close by, Heston's macho stance melts, and he turns positively gaga. "To me, he's king...
...marriage penalty is a peculiar "tax" levied mainly on married couples in which the husband and wife have similar incomes. Once relatively rare, pay parity in two-earner homes has become fairly common in the '90s--and there's the rub.

Consider a husband and wife, each of whom earns $30,000 a year. This year the couple would owe $7,795 in federal income tax. They would owe $880 less if they divorced but stayed together. That's because married people get a smaller standard deduction: $7,100 per couple, vs. $4,250 per single ($8,500 together). Married couples also move to the next tax bracket quicker: after typical deductions, they can earn $42,350 in the 15% bracket before further income is taxed at 28%; singles can earn $25,350 each ($50,700 together) before crossing that threshold...
Joey Bishop, 80 years old now, is not at all sentimental about the Rat Pack's renewed cultural currency. Nor is he pleased. On the phone from Newport Beach, Calif., where he lives with his wife of 57 years, Sylvia, he says he doesn't much like giving interviews (while graciously agreeing to this one). So, I ask, to what does he attribute the ongoing obsession with his early '60s apotheosis, the nights in Vegas clowning around on stage and off with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford? "Could it be anything else but money...
