But one thing she knew: She didn't want to do another situation comedy. When she agreed to a role in a new series, her sixth, it was in NBC's Codename: Foxfire. In this action-drama she plays Liz Towne, a former CIA agent who be- comes an undercover intelli. gence agent, reporting dir- ectly to the president's brother. She's the head of a glamorous team of female operatives. John McCook plays Larry Hutchins, the president's brother, whose playboy im age is his cover for running such a secret operation.

The latter, based on the book by Jackie Collins, will be telecast during the February sweeps. “I play one of the wives,” she says. “I'm very sarcastic but I have a heart of gold, as I do in most of the roles I play I always seem to have some redeeming feature so that people end up liking me.” Cassidy says she doens't think Codename: Foxfire will be like CBS's Cover Up. In that, Jennifer O'Neill plays an undercover agent who pretends to be a fashion pho tographer. She travels with a model played by Antony Hamilton. “I think the style and the look and the people will make it much different,” she says. “And I won't be travelling as a fashion photographer. I will be doing a lot of disguises, however. MAPLE LEAF TRAVEL Best of BRITAIN 12 DAYS Dept. March 31 - Oct. 27/85 rom * 860 <2. VISIT: Oxford. Stonchege. Strettord.

The two-part, five-hour drama to be televised Sunday and Tuesday is stirring considerable controversy before its broadcast. Mann, who won an Oscar in 1962 for Judgment at Nuremberg and an Emmy in 1973 for The Marcus-Nelson Murders, openly criticizes the nature of the evidence used to convict Williams in 1982 for the murders of two young men. Atlanta officials, sensitive to the suggestion that Williams was a victim of panic-stricken local authorities, are demanding CBS grant them network time to rebut the fim. Mann knows he is risking a respected writing career spanning more than two decades, in what is shaping up as one of the most controversial TV films in some time. But he has concluded something is terribly wrong. “What we may have here is a breakdown of the justice system,” Mann says. “I could have done a quick, dirty job on Wayne Williams. But I have great doubts he is guilty.” Williams was convicted by a jury following 27 child murders in the Georgia city between 1979 and 1981. When he was jailed for the killings of Jimmy Ray Payne and Nathaniel Cater, all but four of the 27 cases were closed. WANTS RE-EXAMINATION Mann is calling for a re-opening of those cases and a re-examination of the conviction of Williams, a local music promoter who loved attention. Williams is played excep- tionally in the film by Calvin Levels. “There were times when I thought I was playing a murderer,” Levels says. “I came to the conclusion Wayne Williams didn't murder anyone.” The Georgia Supreme Court has rejected Williams’ appeal. ‘The three-hour first segment portrays the city's police and prosecutors as slow to react when the killings started and quick to draw conclusions when community pressure and international attention mounted and they had their first suspect. Its central character is a fictionalized black policeman (Morgan Freeman), who narrates thp film. The second segment is a two-hour condensation of the trial’s transcripts and related activities leading to Williams’ conviction. , “I was looking again and again for things to buttress up the prosecution's case,” Mann says. Still, a great deal of time in the film is devoted to poke holes in what Mann says was flimsy forensic evidence and the suspect characterization of Williams at the trial. Experts called by the prosecution testified that fibres from a carpet in Williams’ home matched those found on one of his victims. Others testified Williams was a homosexual and was seen holding hands with Cater. RAISES QUESTIONS No one saw Williams kill anyone. He was stopped in his car on a bridge shortly after a splash was heard in the river below. Payne's body was found later on the shore. Defence lawyer Al Binder (Jason Robards) disputed the prosecu. tion's assertion that the pudgy defendant had the strength to lift a 180-pound body over the bridge's high railing and toss it into the water. Mann thinks the special squad created in 1980 to help solve the murders too quickly grouped them as pattern killings. But his greatest worry is that fibre evidence — a controversial means of forensic prosecution criticized by some judges and lawyers — will be used increasingly now that Williams has been put away. “If that happens, we are in trouble,” he says. Mann has met Williams, whom he calls intelligent, interesting, entertaining and arrogant.” He says the mothers of several of the murdered children believe Williams is innocent. “My constituency, if there is one, is the dead children, he says.

Muncipalities and Crown cor will be asked to do their bit to attract and keep industry in a province where unemployment exceeds 15 per cent. Also in sight are easier liquor laws and a classification system to keep pornographic videotapes out of the hands of. children. The legislature reconvenes Monday after a nine-month recess broken only by a one-day emergency session last fall to legislate an end to a three-month transit shutdown in Vietoria and Vancouver. In 1984 the members sat during the current session for only 57 days, the fewest since Premier Bill Bennett's father, the late W.A.C. Bennett, was premier. Before the House gets far into new business, some heat will likely be turned on Education Minister Jack Heinrich over what many school boards claim is a financial crisis in the public school system. Students from colleges and universities across the province plan to march on the legislature Feb. 14 to protest post-secondary education cuts. After the current session is tidied up at a date not yet set, it will be prorogued to make way for a new throne speech and budget. TAXES REVAMPED The need for a substantial rewrite of provincial tax law was hammered home to Finance Minister Hugh Curtis during extensive public hearings throughout the province last year. He was given a message that B.C. industries are paying too many taxes and the wrong kind; and that high taxes make the province an inhospitable place for new industry and for industrial expansion. Curtis likely will r * ination of “energy costs, as property tax on machinery and equipment. For 1985, this has been estimated conservatively at $160 million. ‘As well, there is a good chance he will recommend a return, over a period of time, to the 1980 tax-rate ratio of 2:1 beween industrial and residential taxes instead of the current 3.4:1 which industry says is crippling. Tax breaks also will be accorded for the proposed special economic zones where the government would provide low-cost leases for land and buildings, reduced as reduced property taxes and exemption from ition capital tax, provincial corporate income tax and sales tax on machinery and equipment. During the new session, the Social Credit government will unveil its long-awaited industrial cuportaatice pro gram, and Bennett has promised there will be no ‘major tax increases. DRINKERS GET BREAK To make take-out beer purchases easier and cheaper in hotels, there is likely to be provision for hotel vending outlets where the customer can buy at liquor-store prices rather than go into the bar and purchase it at the marked-up price. Also predicted are rule changes more wine and liquor agencies where private stores in remote communities are allowed to sell beer and spirits, more neighborhood pubs limited to 45 seats, and the transfer of responsibility for neighborhood pubs to municipalities from the liquor control board. ‘The legislature is expected to approve major changes in rules which will see the unlimited time accorded leaders or their party's designated speakers give way to a two-hour limit, and a ban on routine challenges to the rulings of the Speaker. Likely to be adopted without too much fuss is a report recommending an increase in the present number of 57 members by about 10 — based on a formula approved during the 1984 session. BILL BENNETT . -.. to meet Skelly Opposition Leader Bob Skelly and Independent Graham Lea have offered to co-operate with the government on its legislative program and curb the uncontrolled bickering that has often passed for debate in this province. Bennett has agreed to meet Skelly during a week's break between the two sittings — the first such meeting since his father’s time. After losing its Okanagan North seat’ in last fall's byelection the government has 34 members in the 57-seat chamber against 22 NDP members and the lone Independent. REE SESS REC RRRRS SRR PUBLIC AUTO INSURANCE Driving in fast lane By NELLE OOSTEROM The Canadian Press It seems Canada’s publicly owned automobile insurance firms are driving in the fast lane these days, leaving their struggling private-sector counterparts far behind. With private firms still reeling from a decade of slumping profits, government monopolized insurance industries in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia are boasting large reserves, healthy profits and, most importantly for consumers, lower rates. In other provinces, the industry is jammed between fierce competition and escalating claims, which could push up premium costs anywhere from five to 15 per cent this year. In Manitoba, most car drivers have been told they will save an average of two per cent this year, paying roughly $8 less than last year. Saskatchewan motorists may get rebates to make up increases jn the last few years while in British Columbia, the hike will amount to a mere 1.8 per cent. The Crown-owned insurers say their rates are the lowest in the country. So what are they doing right? “The main argument is that they are not subject to the normal forces that apply in the marketplace,” says James McCallister, a Toronto-based spokesman for Insurers’ Advisory Organization, a non-profit group which acts as a kind of consulting agency to private insurance i “But let a private carrier try that kind of nonsense — they woukin’t get any business.” He disputed a survey by Autopac, the vehicle insurance division of the Manitoba Public Insurance Corp., that showed its premiums were the lowest in the country and Ontario's the highest. The survey said a driver over 25 using a Volkswagen Rabbit for work and pleasure with $1 million liability and $50 deductible will pay $526 in Winnipeg and $1,007 in Toronto. “No one in Toronto in that classification pays $1,000,” said McCallister. RATES VARY Autopac spokesman Grahame Newton conceded that rates vary among private insurers but maintained that the survey, based on information from private insurers, was a reasonably accurate comparison. Wennechuk fiddlers’ head By CasNews Staff The fiddlers’ meeting was He also disputed the accusation Autopac's mohopoly position allows it to interpret claims to its advantage. “People with any public insurer have recourse through many different avenues if they're not completely satisfied,” Newton said. “We are subject to a lot more public scrutiny. If any claimant were particularly unhappy, we would have a right of appeal.” Newton says Autopac is profitable largely because it cuts administr: OTHER REASONS But McCallister says there are a lot of reasons why public insurers look better right now than their private-sec tor counterparts. Between 1978 and 1981, private carriers were reducing rates because of intense competition while public insurers were raising them, he said. In Manitoba for example, rates went up by 17 per cent in 1981 More evidence that public insurers may have been charging too much is the decision in Saskatchewan to pay $25 million in rebates to consumers because the government insurance company’s reserve fund has grown too large. McCallister says the monopoly position of publi¢ insurers allows them to cut corners by sticking to the letter rather than the spirit of contracts when it is clearly to their advantage.

Brisco spent most on election By CasNews Staff Bob Brisco topped the polls in the Sept. 4 federal election and the Kootenay West Pro- gressive Conservative MP also spent the most money to get there. Brisco spent a total of $37,017. That was about $735 below the election expenses limit of $87,752, according to figures released this week by returning officer Helen Fair. bank. Fairbank’s figures show Brisco received 386 contribu- tions totalling $48,122. He had total election expenses of $41,436, but because $4,419 of those were personal ex. penses, the actual cost of his election campaign was $37,017. New Democratic candidate Lyle Kristiansen spent about $1,060 less than his chief rival — $35,958. He received 298 contribu- tions totalling $37,306. How- ever, that fell short of his election expenses which were $38,578, including $2,620 for personal expenses. Liberal Jean Turnbull spent the least of the three candidates — only $12,068. She received 80 contributions totalling $13,768 and had $1,095 in persona] expenses. BORDERLINE TRANSMISSION 2865 Highway Drive, Trail 368-3231 Your Automatic Transmission Specialists B.C.
