In the May issue of Vanity Fair she spoke about UNICEF and a childhood that gave her an affinity for children in need. Hepburn was bom in Belgium, but the family moved to the Netherlands, where she endured the privations of World War II.

She recently told UNICEF volunteers, "I auditioned for this job for 45 years and I finally got it." Lynn Anderson's ex wants custody of kids NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The ex-husband of country singer Lynn Anderson says their two children suffer when they visit their mother, and he wants permanent custody. "They come back tired, wound up, anxious," Harold "Spook" Stream testified Tuesday. "They're argumentative and hard to deal with.

They don't want to go back." A year ago he won temporary custody of Gray, 11, and Melissa, 9. Stream, 42, lives with his new wife, Jamie Carter Stream, and the two children in Lake Placid, N.Y. Anderson, best known for the hit single' 'I Never Promised You a Rose Garden," was awarded custody in 1982 when the couple divorced.

The 54-year-old chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was on his first major speaking tour Monday since the Gulf War. "I'm giving you an order," he told about 200 students at Morris High School.

"Stay in hich school and get that diploma. Don't do drugs, it's stupid. Don't think you are limited by your background. Challenges arc there to be knocked down." Powell later tossed out the first ball at the Yankees-White Sox game. He also met with players and signed baseballs in the locker room.

Powell was born in New York City and was raised in the South Bronx. He graduated from the City College of New York.

"Even in bad vocal condition, I have not lost the he said. "I went to the doctor. He said my vocal cords were perfect" In Chicago, Pavarotti said, "I was forced to drink and eat constantly to keep the throat open, during the performance.

'Eight is Enough's' Adam Rich charged LOS ANGELES (AP) Adam Rich, the youngest Bradford on television's "Eight is Enough," was charged with burglary in a drug store break-in.

Rich, 22, was on probation for drunken driving when he broke into a suburban pharmacy, Deputy District Attorney Andrew Diamond said Monday. Rich was freed on $5,000 bail. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A woman in the audience at this year's Grammy awards show in New York City was overheard describing the Texas Tornados as "four old dudes who sing music of the '50s and '60s." The comment, relayed to group member Freddy Fender by his wife, drew a chuckle from the veteran entertainer. "We are a product of the '50s and '60s but we do music for all seasons," Fender said in analyzing the description.

The Tornados, who won a Grammy in the Mexican-American category for their song "Soy de San Luis," are a musical stew of rock 'n' roll, country and masterful accordion playing. Fender is a one-time country music star best known for his million-selling hit record in 1975, "Before the Next Teardrop Doug Sahm and Augie Mejwts, two other Texas Tornados, are founding members of the Sir Douglas Quintet rock band, remembered for their hits "She's About a Mover" in 1965 and "Mendocino" in 1969. Flaco Jimenez rounds put the group, with the zesty accordion playing he's been doing on recordings since the mid-1950s. He won a Grammy in 1987 for "Ay Te Dejo En San Antonio." "Our sound is very authentic," Fender said in an interview. "It's a simple type of south Texas music.

There's a diversity of four different TEXAS TORNADOS WON A GRAMMY THIS YEAR left, Jimenez, Meyers, Sahm, Fender people with four different styles of music. We're not electric, not over' dressed and not over produced." sing in Spanish and English, backed up with drums, guitar, organ, piano and the accordion. The band's repertoire, Fender said, included "Mexican polka, ballad-type music, rock 'n' roll, B.B. King-blues type stuff." The four, all with Texas backgrounds and in their 40s and 50s, have been compared to the Traveling Wilburys Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and the late Roy Orbison. Sahm and Meyers are not the only rock influences in the group.

Bill Halverson, their record producer, has worked with rock 'n' roll acts such as Eric Clapton and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Their debut album, "Texas Tornados," received critical acclaim even before the Grammy. "It cemented what we've been doing all this time," Fender said. "The things happening are incredible." The success has been especially gratifying to Fender, a resilient performer who's endured a string of setbacks to revive his career once again. He was born Baldemar Huerta in San Benito, Texas, one of nine children in a migrant farm family.

He recorded a hit record, "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights," in 1959 and then again in the mid-1970s. His career was interrupted in the early 1960s when he served three years in Angola State Prison in Louisiana for possessing two marijuana cigarettes. After leaving prison, he became a mechanic. He ended up washing cars for $1.80 an hour in Corpus Christi, Texas, when he hit the big time again with "Before the Next Teardrop Falls." In 1981, two members of his band were killed in Slidell, when their bus collided with a tractor-trailer. Fender was not aboard, but he suffered financially as a result.

He filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition in 1983 and was not heard from nationally until last year when the Texas Tornados signed a recording contract with Reprise Records. like a roller coaster or a rubber bail," he said, reflecting on his up-and-down career. "I keep bouncing back, and if I have to I'll keep bouncing back again. "I have a pattern of hitting (bottom), but I always seem to come back. I hope this is the last bounce.

It seems for the first time in my life, I'm serious about staying up there. "This is the most serious successful situation I've had in I'm 54-years-old now. Most performers would be retired or dead in a ditch somewhere, which I could have been. I'm grateful for another opportunity; it's like watching a movie all over again." 'Antagonists' latest entry on TV docket LOS ANGELES (AP) The American court system is clogged with cases. So is television's docket of legal dramas.

The latest trial before a jury of viewers is CBS' "The Antagonists," yet another high-falutin', psuedo-intellectual depiction of legal life in the moralistic fast lane. Compared to most of its competition, "The Antagonists" is not bad. The writing is sometimes clever, the sets are richly textured and the chemistry between its male and female leads is not always saccharine or contrived. That's not to say it is brilliant There are the standard legal TV gim- an overearnest, starjy- eyeduyoung attorney and a crusty, APonTV The plot line focuses on the different perspectives of two lawyers. One is Jack Scarlett, a hard-bitten defense attorney played by David Andrews.

The other is Kate Ward, an idealistic deputy district attorney played by Lauren Holly. In virtually every case that Ward takes to court, Scarlett is the defense attorney. These two must be the only working lawyers in their county. In the 90-minute pilot, Scarlett defends a battered mistress accused of killing her lover's wife. Well, turns out the woman wasn't battered and she did, indeed, kill thet wife in a complicated scheme that frame her lover.

Scarlett eventually realizes his mistress-client is really a murderess. Horror of horrors, a lawyer must defend a client who is guilty. Just like in real life, Scarlett risks disbarment by dropping clues to the prosecutor so that his client can get sent up the river. He seems to have this problem a lot In a subsequent episode, he defends a lifelong pal who claims he killed a business associate in self- defense. The pal didn't, naturally.

And Scarlett gets pretty righteously indignant about discovering, yet again, that he has a murderer for a client he should a personal injury practice). ful touches in this hour-long dramq that has the godforsaken time slot of 9 p.m. Thursdays, up against the top- 1 rated "Cheers" on NBC.
