Instead of getting a good look at one of the worlds niost famous women, many well-wishers went home grumbling about freedom of the press.

This is scandalous! yelled an elderly lady struggling to see Gorbachev. Its not right the press gets to see Raisa and we ordinary people dont, said the woman, who would only identify herself as Gisela. A police officer trying to clear a path for Gorbachev shrugged and said, Thats freedom of the press. Freedom for whom? Not for us! the woman retorted. Gorbachev visited Linz, a picturesque little city on the Rhine River, while her husband, Soviet President Mikhail S.

Gorbachev, was meeting about 20 miles away in Bonn with Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

Prince and comedian make a serious film The latest odd couple: John Cleese and Prince Charles. The two are the stars of a new video, Grime Goes Green: Your Business and the Environment. In it, Cleese goes into his manic persona as the owner of a company who mistakes two environmental inspectors as advance men for an impending royal visit.

Upon realizing his error, he turns his fury on a man sitting quietly in a comer reading a paper. The paper is slowly lowered to reveal Prince Charles, looking mournful. The prince lectures the mortified saying, If everybodys to wait for a royal visit they clean up their act, never get anywhere.

CONTINUED FROM hi i DUFFY: Must put it, said county spokesman Robert Lerner.

Thats the important thing. County auditors discovered last week that Duffy has been putting the money an estimated $600,000 into a private account rather than depositing it in the county treasury. The money comes, via the U.S. Treasury Department, from assets confiscated during drug arrests in the county. Duffy began diverting the money in July, after unsuccessfully seeking county supervisors approval of his request to use a portion of the money for computer equipment.

Supervisors elected instead to use the money for security improvements to county jails. Janet Houts, an attorney and special assistant to the sheriff, said Friday that Duffy began putting the money in a private account as the result of a meeting with U.S. Attorney General Richard Thornburgh. Although Thornburgh did not specifically recommend the diversion, Duffy left the meeting with the understanding that the county was misusing the money, Houts said. We feel the Board of Supervisors has violated the federal guidelines, Houts said.

We think the county has put us in jeopardy of losing this fund. Cleese, going before well performance. was MARIP.N BRAND Actor torn by problems of children LOS ANGELES -Actor Marlon Brando planned to fly to Tahiti to comfort his ailing daughter but abandoned the trip when told he might be unable to return to testify at his sons murder trial, a lawyer said. Brando, 66, is torn by the dual dilemmas of his offspring, said Robert Shapiro, an attorney for the actors son, Christian. Its beyond wrenching, Shapiro said of Brandos predicament.

Its an impossible decision for a father to have to make. Brandos son, Christian, is charged with first-degree murder in the May shooting death of Dag Drollet, the Tahitian lover of his half-sister, Cheyenne. Cheyenne, 20, fled to Tahiti a month later. MARREffUEDATS Activity for the week of November 5-9, 1990 KURDER: Dan Brodericks character money in trust As a result, Houts said she will ask Judge Hollywood on Tuesday to take the drug money already in the county treasury approximately $1 million and put it into a court trust account as well, pending resolution of the civil suit. The suit is scheduled to be heard Nov.

27. Houts said she was satisfied with Hollywoods ruling Friday, and that Duffy would comply. She would not say how much money Duffy has collected in the account. Lerner, meanwhile, called Houts plan to freeze county-held drug money sour grapes. They lost and they have to have a rebuttal, said Lerner.

Theyre grasping at straws. We maintain that the state statutes are very clear about who can make the decision about use of the money. Lerner said the county provided necessary notification to the U.S. Treasury Department of how the money would be used. Lerner said he was confident Hollywood would reject Houts request to tie up county-held funds.

The incident is but the latest in a tumultuous relationship between county supervisors and Duffy, who will step down as sheriff in January after 20 years in the post. Betty Broderick had picked up a large cake which according to prior testimony was made by Linda Kolkena and smashed it on her husbands bed and belongings. The entire room was devastated and Lee was crying uncontrollably, Shaver testified. When Daniel Broderick came home, he said, Well, I guess well have to enforce the restraining order (against Betty Broderick) according to Shaver. While testimony has shown Betty Broderick often used profane names for Dan and Linda in front of her children, Shaver said she never heard Daniel Broderick use such language.

He told Shaver, however, that Betty Broderick was jealous, vindictive, conniving and deceitful. Shaver said she came from her present home in Ohio to testify because she had read falsehoods in news stories and felt morally obligated to give a true account. I heard he was a drunk and that absolutely was not true, she said under questioning by defense attorney Jack Earley. Also testifying briefly Friday was Los Angeles Times reporter Amy Wallace, who wrote a March 1990 article headlined, Betty Broderick Confesses to San Diego Slayings. Wallace testified that during an interview, Betty Broderick told her the keys she used to get into her ex-husbands home were given to her by a maid who found them behind a chair in Betty Brodericks home.

Standing next to Wallace as she testified was an attorney for the newspaper, Roger Oglesby. Two Times editors sat in the audience. Friday marked the end of the trials third week. Final testimony is expected Tuesday, with closing arguments likely to be made Wednesday, according to Earley.

Walden said that when the officers approached the area, the victim spilled out of the car and begged them to kill her two attackers. The Marine Corps contacted authorities later to warn them that Slaughter had a venereal disease, Walden said. Slaughter, 20, and Carey, 21, pleaded guilty two months ago to two counts of rape in concert, one count of oral copulation and one count of rape with a foreign object.

In exchange for the guilty pleas, the prosecutor dropped the rest of the 17 charges that were initially filed against the two defendants. Careys attorney, Don Rosen-stock, argued Friday that his client merely followed Slaughters lead during the course of events.

40 years in prison considerate sexually and gentlemanly. Carey had no criminal record. Slaughter had a previous misdemeanor conviction for hitting a man over the head with a bottle. Slaughter and Carey will probably be in their late 30s or early 40s before becoming eligible for parole, but the victim said her own sentence will last even longer than theirs. I have my own life in prison, and its not going to stop.

Betty Broderick has admitted to shooting her ex-husband and his new wife, Linda Kolkena Broderick, 28, as they lay in bed at their Hillcrest home on the morning of Nov. 5, 1989.

But she claims the killings were motivated by her husbands ceaseless psychological abuse, both before and after their separation in 1985. Prosecutors say hatred grew inside Betty Broderick from the time her ex-husband jilted her for a younger woman until it exploded into murder. Tuua said Daniel Broderick ate dinner with the children most nights and showed a strong interest in their school activities. Sometimes he would play basketball with his sons, Danny, now 14, and Rhett, now 11. The problem, according to Tuua, was Betty Broderick.

Tuua recounted a telephone conversation between Rhett and his mother. Betty Broderick told her son that he could visit only if he got Linda whom she referred to with a vulgar sexual term out of Daniel Brodericks house. The boy cried and became so distraught that he locked himself in a bathroom and used a pair of scissors to hack clumps out of his hair, Tuua testified. On another occasion, Betty Broderick picked Rhett up from school without notifying her ex-husband and later brought the boy home. Tuua said she went outside and told Rhett to get out of his mothers car, which enraged Betty Broderick.

The boy came up to her and whispered, My mommy has a butcher knife under the seat. Be careful, Tuua testified. Betty Broderick then said she had a gun in her glove box. Convinced that she would use the weapon, Tuua said she called the police. Marta Shaver, who worked as a housekeeper for Daniel Broderick in 1985 and 1986, said she was cooking dinner one afternoon when Betty Broderick came over and slipped in the back door.

Shaver said Betty Broderick went quickly upstairs and then left her ex-husbands home, tires screeching. That was followed by a blood curdling scream from Lee, said Shaver.

Baker III. Slaughter said, referring to Walden. I dont have to answer to anybody in this courtroom.

The only person I have to answer to is God. So Im not worried about what happens in this courtroom. What happened in the courtroom was that Superior Court Judge Ronald Prager citing the defendants lack of remorse, among other factors levied prison sentences that were longer than what would be found in many murder cases: 40 years for Slaughter, 35 for Carey. The two Marines were convicted of abducting a 25-year-old waitress at knifepoint in front of a restaurant in Carlsbads Plaza Camino Real shopping center March 13. They forced her to drive them to a remote spot near the San Luis Rey River, then took turns raping her.
