With those words last night, Joan Rivers ditched her planned monologue and opened the first night of her new syndicated talk show. The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers aired from 11 p.m. to midnight as the keystone of the new Fox Broadcasting Co. on a network of independent stations including Rochester's Channel 31, WUHF. The show is scheduled for week- nights at a time designed to beat Johnny Carson by a half-hour.

Carson, host of the The Tonight Show, which came on 30 minutes later in New York, made only an oblique reference in his monologue to his new rival. "There are a lot of big confrontations this week: Reagan and Gorbachev, the Mets vs. the Astros, and me vs. 77ie Honeymooners' lost episides," he joked.

Termotto was a thief. Termotto, who burst into the local limelight last year with elaborate plans to open an art gallery, was convicted of second-degree grand larceny yesterday for stealing $50,000 a widow gave him as a secured investment to partially back that gallery. Termotto had no reaction when the jury read its verdict about 5:30 p.m., and he left the courtroom without answering reporters' questions. His father said later that Termotto was not feeling dejected by the verdict. "Oh no, he feels great," said Termotto's father, Anthony P.

"Absolutely," said Anthony Termotto, who testified in the trial and sat through 4 1 Hi 'J to yi Yy it- t- Beer off shelf; tainting feared Democrat and Chronicle Rochester police ordered a convenience store to remove Old Milwaukee beer from its shelves last night after a woman drank what appeared to be a tainted can of it.

The 21 -year-old woman purchased a six-pack of 12-ounce cans from A Plus Market at 780 Dewey Ave. about 9 p.m., said Capt. Robert Dewey, staff inspector. The woman, whom police would not identify, opened a can of the beer and had taken several gulps at once before noticing a "fingernail polish" taste, Dewey said. The beer in the can was cloudy and smelted as though it contained some cleaning agent, he said.

No other stores were asked to remove the beer, manufactured by the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Co. of Milwaukee, from their shelves. The woman was treated at Rochester General Hospital and released. Dewey said the woman went to the hospital as a precaution, but she did not complain of feeling nauseous. Representatives of the state Department of Agriculture and Markets will investigate the incident today, Dewey said.

Anyone who has had a similar problem with Old Milwaukee beer should contact police, he said.

8tavn Purctl Democrat and Chronicla Dental healer uses faith to fill the cavities He claims to change silver fillings into gold By Michelle Fountaine Williame Democrat and Chronicle The Rev. Willard Fuller warmed up his audience last night with success stories of his dental healing powers. He spoke of an 11-year-old girl in Phoenix with six filled cavities who, after "the laying on of hands," had no fillings and no trace of cavities. He told of a 66-year-old woman in upstate New York whose teeth had been extracted. After he "touched" her, he said, she grew a new set of teeth.

Then, once the stories were told and the audience at the Unitarian Church of Rochester said they "believed," Fuller got down to business. Fuller, who is not a dentist, claimed he changed fillings from silver to gold and changed one of Claire Remington's caps into gold. "How about that?" the Pittsford resident said, amazed when she inspected her mouth with a mirror and a flashlight provided by Fuller and his wife, Margaret. "I'm worth more than when I came in." Before Willard Fuller had the audience form a line in order for him to touch the cheeks of each and every one, he told them that they shouldn't expect immediate cures. Julie Hoffmann of Rochester receiving the healing touch from Willard Fuller.

He said 80 percent of the people he "touches" report that they notice a change in their teeth after they "leave the building." But the skeptics still weren't convinced. "This is part of their show," said Mark Plummer, executive director of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, a Buffalo-based group that travels the globe debunking unusual claims. "He's made a number of extraordinary claims that we would love to check out," he said, citing the toothless upstate New York State woman, who Willard Fuller said began "cutting a set of baby teeth" after he touched her cheeks.
