ANSWER: Easter Island is the name of a small barren island far out in the South Pacific Ocean that is famous for the unusual stone statues scattered over it.

The island was named Easter Island by a Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen, who discovered it on Easter 1772. Easter Island is located about 2,350 miles west of Chile, and has an area of about 46 square miles. More than 600 gigantic statues of prehistoric origin are found here. Each statue was carved of a single block of hard volcanic rock; each weighs about 16 tons. They vary in height from 10 to 40 feet tall, and consist of huge heads with long ears and noses.

They stand on stone burial platforms called "ahus." Scientists believe the island was settled about A.D. 400 but aren't sure who the first inhabitants were. Chile annexed the island in 1888 and made it into a national park in 1935. Today about 2,000 people live on Easter Island, most of whom are Polynesians. The rest are Chileans and Spanish.

Spanish is the official language. Easter Island's Spanish name is Isla de Pascua. Its Polynesian name is Rapanui. Tourism and the production of wool for export are the main industries. Susan Hoffmann 1215 (Jaime McCafferty, of Fort Morgan, wins a prize for this question.

Two clubs allows the greatest scope for further investigation.

If partner passes, game chances are virtually nil. If partner bids again, you plan to take further action to show that the opening bid was not of the minimum class. A jump to three diamonds over one heart is not inconceivable, but it would not describe your hand nearly as well as the suggested bid of two clubs. 3. Four hearts.

You shouldn't settle for less than game, since it's hard to imagine partner losing as many as four tricks. The best way of getting to game is by bidding it directly. The leap to four hearts is by no means a closeout bid; on the contrary, it implies great interest in a slam. It would be wrong to bid only three hearts, which partner might pass. 4.

Two notrump. It is true that a rebid of two notrump in this sequence signifies 18 or 19 high-card points, but you can surely afford to relax the usual requirements, considering the likelihood of scoring six diamond tricks. Point-count should always be regarded as a very flexible tool. This hand is superior in playing strength to most balanced hands containing 18 or 19 points with which you would jump to two notrump.

He has also played character roles in films such as "The In-laws" with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, "The Accidental Tourist" with William Hurt and Geena Davis and "Scenes From the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills" with Jacqueline Bisset. Begley grew up in the San Fernando Valley during his father's heyday as a top character actor in films (Academy Award, supporting actor, "Sweet Bird of Youth," 1962). Begley Sr. made no attempt to influence his son's choice of career, but the boy knew at age 10 that he wanted to act. "I knew what it was, going in," he remarked in an interview.

"I knew there would be autographs requested; I knew everything that went with it. I don't have the excuse that some actors legitimately have: 'I didn't bargain on this (notoriety); I just want to do my best work as an "I can't make that claim. I knew what it was, because I saw my father go through it. We had a hard time getting from Point A to Point at Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm or wherever we went together. I knew if I did (become an actor), there was a possibility of that happening.

Now my kids have to suffer through long lines going through an airport with people wanting autographs, etc. "But it's part of the job. People are very friendly and nice." Begley started acting at 17 in "My Three Sons" and turned up on other series such as "Room 222," "Happy Days" and "The Doris Day Show." For a few years he worked in stand-up comedy, first with a partner, then as a single. He recalls the work as great experience but sometimes devastating. "I remember one night I was opening for John Sebastian, Log-gins and Messina and Poco at Nassau Coliseum in New York, 18,000 people," he said with a shudder.

"I had the most incredibly great reaction when I first went Out. I did an opening bit in a police uniform that always went well with college crowds. Big applause, laughter, the whole thing. "About 10 minutes into it, I started to lose them. I had these hand props, 11 by 14 photographs that were usually large enough for big audiences.

But past the 10th row, they couldn't see a damn thing. They started to lose interest, and they began to go 'Po-co, Po An angry mob x- I think they were ready to say 'Give us Barabbas "Soon after, I decided to go back to television and films." LOS ANGELES (AP) When Ed Begley manager first suggested the actor was being considered to co-star in a comedy with Meryl Streep and Roseanne Barr, Begley was dubious. The calls continued over the weeks, and Begley remained skeptical. When a script was reported imminent, he told his manager: "Good. You know, I've got that little letter hole in my door.

You put the script right through that little slot when you get it." To Begley's astonishment, the script of "She-Devil" arrived from Orion Pictures. "One day I was set to do a videotape here in L.A. It was sent to (director) Susan Seidelman in New York. She apparently liked it and sent it to Meryl; she liked it. Then I met with Susan Seidelman and I liked her and she liked me.

The next thing I know, I was working on the picture," he recalled. Begley was cast as an ambitious accountant who leaves his slovenly wife (Barr) for the self-enchanted author of romance novels (Streep). Barr then becomes the title role, cooking up diabolical plots as revenge on her faithless husband and his willful temptress. Thus Begley appears throughout the film with both stars, who meet only briefly. Critics have marveled at Streep's facility for comedy, heretofore hidden on the screen behind accents and heavy dramatics.

"She's done great comedy work over the years on the New York stage and Yale Drama School and what have you," observed the lanky, straw-haired actor. "People who were fortunate enough to see' that know her well in the world of comedy. She'll do more; she's great. I don't think there's anything she can't do." Begley said her comedy often broke him up on the set, "but I got my revenge: I beat her at Scrabble. Often." About Roseanne Barr: "It was her first motion picture, and she was wonderful to work with.

I think she did a terrific job and hopefully she'll do more. She certainly has conquered the world of television. You can't do any better than she's done, going against a show like Cosby ('The Cosby Show') and doing well. "I've seen the show quite a bit. It's consistently funny and insightful, I think.

If I do television again, I'd like to do that." Until "She-Devil," Begley was best known as the smart-talking Dr. Victor Ehrlich on "St. Elsewhere," which brought him Emmy nominations during each of its six Bidding Quiz YESTERDAY'S SOLUTION DOWN 6. 7. 1.

15, the 349th day of 1989 with 16 to follow. The moon is waning, moving toward its last quarter. The morning stars are Mars and Jupiter. The evening stars are Mercury, Venus and Saturn. Those born on this date are under the sign of Sagittarius.

They include the Roman emperor Nero in 37 A.D.; Polish linguist Ludwik Za-menhof creator of the international language Esperanto, in 1859; French engineer Alexandre Eiffel, builder of the Paris tower that bears his name and engineer of the Statue of Liberty, in 1832; playwright Maxwell Anderson in 1888; billionaire oilman John Paul Getty in 1892; pioneer rock roll disc jockey Alan Freed in 1922; comic actor Tim Conway in 1933 (age 56) and actor Don Johnson in 1950 (age 39).

One notrump. The only bids worth considering are one notrump and two clubs. Because an opening bid of one in a suit may range from 12 to 21 high-card points and may have any kind of distribution, it is best to pinpoint the size and shape of a hand as soon as possible. The notrump rebid describes your hand very adequately. It states that your opening bid was of the minimum class (12 to 15 points) and that the distribution is balanced (4-3-3-3, 4-4-3-2, or 5-3-3-2).

A rebid of two clubs would be much less definitive, since it would suggest length in the minors, possibly including a singleton or a void. Furthermore, two clubs could be based on many more high-card points. The notrump rebid simultaneously identifies your limited high-card values and distribution; a two club bid would create an ambiguity that partner might find himself unable to resolve. 2. Two clubs.

When Miss Daisy attends a dinner speech by Martin Luther King, we see the effect of his words on her face and her concern that she had been unwilling to invite Hoke inside to hear his hero. The delicate balance between the placid human drama and the convulsion of change is maintained by Uhry's script and Bruce Beres-ford's masterful direction. How refreshing to see a film without quick cuts and visual shock. Beresford allows the camera to linger over the genteel elegance of Miss Daisy's home and to prolong scenes to their natural end, even allowing a few uneventful moments for reflection. Jessica Tandy's portrait of Miss Daisy achieves absolute perfection.

She captures every nuance of the old lady's character: her suspicion of strangers, her basic decency, her disdain for pretense, especially her social-climbing daughter-in-law jdea of heaven is to have lunch with And Miss Daisy's descent into senility in her 90s is heart-wrenching. By BOB THOMAS Associated Press Writer Elderly Daisy Werthan needs a chauffeur. She doesn't think she wants one, but her son insists. After all, hadn't she pressed the accelerator instead of the brake and nearly catapulted her new 1948 Packard into her neighbor's flower garden? So begins the 25-year friendship of a prickly Jewish Southern lady and her driver, a 60ish black man who has learned how to live with the treatment of his race in mid-century Georgia. Their relationship alone would nave made a compelling study.

But it is woven into the fabric of change in the New South, and that gives added depth to seemingly mundane events. Alfred Uhry's play, "Driving Miss Daisy," was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and his film adaptation seems certain to win Academy nominations for several participants, especially the two stars, Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman. The filmmakers wisely avoided the temptation to "open up" the play to satisfy the alleged needs of the movie audience. Miss Daisy wriest DHL Ov Co Synd. M.
