It took us an hour to convince him to come back. Then, after 15 takes, we finally got the scene fin ished.” In the film, Nicholson plays Francis Phelan, a former baseball star who returns to his hometown down and out. Haunted by death, he boozes and fast-talks his way through the streets of De pression-plagued Albany. Co- star Meryl Streep is Helen Archer, an educated woman who clings to her friendship with Francis. Blouin said the movie “deals with the ugly things of life — the homeless, alco- holics and a man in search of his past.” The film was shot on loeation-in Albany, “the armpit of America,” said Blouin. parts of the city still look the way they did in 1938. We wanted to be where the book (Ironweed) was written There are places we see in the film that existed at the time and we wanted to film there.” To recreate a 1901 strike by trolley workers, the film- makers closed down a three- block section of Albany's Lark Street and covered the street with 1,100 tons of dirt and gravel. Ina scene requiring Streep to deliver a rendition of the song He's Me Pal, the extras on the set included William Kennedy, author of the 1983 Pulitzer-prize winning book. Blouin said it was Streep's singing debut on film. “The word is she took singing lessons from Beverly Sills to become an actress,” Blouin, 38, said he made it to Hollywood thanks to pro- ducer Keith Barish. Blouin worked as an entertainment lawyer after graduating from the University of Montreal's law school and admits luck played a part. “I met Barish while working in real estate in Florida. .. He wanted to do something more creative with his life like making movies.” Blouin worked .as Barish's production assistant in the film 9%» Weeks.

He knows the gimmicks will bring attention to his craft — rock 'n roll. MUSIC AT CENTRE “There's a lot of aerial tricks, but it's all built Found the music. The band is doing more musical gymnastics than you've ever heard a rock band do,” he said. Roth, 32, is touring to promote his third solo album, Skyscraper. The record in- cludes the single, Just Like Paradise, and the tour began on March 4 in Lakeland, Fla. He began his career after meeting Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony at Pasadena City College. The four formed Van Halen, a band that set the standard for many heavy-metal bands to come, especially because of Eddie's innovative guitar playing, and Roth's wild-man antics. The group split up in 1985, and Roth moved on to a solo career. His new band includes lead guitarist Steve Vai, bass guitarist Billy Sheehan, drummer Gregg Bissonette and keyboardist Brett Tuggle. Roth's international tour will include some of the old Van Halen standards, in ad- dition to his solo efforts, including a remake of the Beachs Boy's California Girls and the bluesy Just a Gigolo. In his spare time, Roth climbs mountains, as seen on the Just Like Paradise video in which he scales a 3,000- foot-high vertical wall of granite. Roth also fools around with martial arts, receiving a black belt in karate about nine years ago. At one point he experimented with kick boxing. These days, he in corporates both disciplines in his stage show. “Martial arts has a lot of visceral impact.

IV NETWORKS H D stant replay 992 Winter Despite good ratings, ABC expects to lose at least $30 million on the Calgary Winter Games. That's because a bidding War inflated the rights fee to $309 million, more than triple what ABC paid for the 1984 Winter Games. CTV turned a profit on the Games after paying only $9 million for the Canadian rights and, as host broad- caster, providing feeds to other networks. U.S. networks interested in televising the 1992 Games in Albertville, France, are determined not to fall into the same trap as ABC when bids are submitted later this year. “Nobody likes to lose money, including the net- works,” said Arthur Watson, president of NBC Sports, “I think it’s safe to say that the 1992 rights will be substantially less than they were in Calgary.” There are two major reasons. The TV advertising market has stabilized since peaking just before ABC won the Calgary rights in 1984. And the time difference between the United States and France will prevent live telecasts of most events. “It's something you have to consider,” Watson said. “How valuable are 90 hours of taped Olympics?” International Olympic Committee officials know they are in for a struggle. Some network executives say the IOC will be lucky to get $150-million for the U.S. television rights in Albertville. COST WILL DROP “I certainly don't expect to get the same amount as Calgary,” said Richard Pound, an IOC vice president. “We realize the time difference is terrible for U.S. networks. We can only get what the market will bear.” To maximize TV income, the IOC could split the rights between a broadcast network and a cable network. ESPN, Home Box Office and Turner Broadcasting System have already expressed interest in the Games. “L-think divvying up the rights makes a lot of sense,” said Bob Greenway, HBO's vice president of sports programming. “The NFL is doing it, so why not the Olympics?” Speculation has centered on a possible ABC-ESPN deal. ABC owns 80 per cent of ESPN and the two networks already share coverage of several major events. But HBO, Fox and TBS are also expected to make a strong bid for the 1992 Games. “We are interested in all major sporting events, including the Olympics,” said My March 9, 1988 Castlegar Bush grabs Super Tuesday southern votes By NORMA GREENAWAY George Bush virtually blew his rivals for the presid: off the political map in crucial U.S. voting contests Tuesday that left three Democrats in a tug of war for their party's nomination, The vice-president chalked up a possible sweep of Super Tuesday victories across the South and elsewhere, delivering major blows to the presidential hopes of his chief rivals — Kansas Senator Bob Dole and former tele- vision evangelist Pat Robertson. 4 His stunning victories in at least 16 of the 17 Republican state contests, most in the South, were expected to give Bush about half the delegates needed to nail down the nomination at the party's national convention in New Orleans in August. Echoing predictions that whoever won Super Tuesday would win the presidency next November, Bush declared confidently to jubilant supporters: “I'm going to be the next president of the United States.” Super Tuesday results across 21 states and terri- tories were not as definitive for the Democrats. The previously untested Tennessee Senator Albert Gore surfaced as a contender for the first time, winning a handful of states along with Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis and black activist Jesse Jackson. Dukakis appeared closest to claiming frontrunner status after winning the twin “jewels” of Texas and Florida, the states with the largest number of nominating delegates at stake, and at least four others. “I feel good about the South,” a smiling Dukakis said, adding that his latest wins prove his support goes far beyond his New England base where he handily won his home state of Massachusetts. “Now I know why they call it Super Tuesday.” : BREAKS THROUGH Jackson, building on a streak of eye-catching break- throughs in white northern states, won in Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and ran a close second in many other states. “We've gone from a narrow mainstream to a broa’ -based river,” Jackson said. Gore captured his home state of Tennessee, Okla homa, North Carolina, Kentucky and Arkansas. His next challenge will be Saturday's Democratic primary in South Carolina, where Jackson is expected to provide the stiffest competition. Left behind was Missouri congressman Richard Gephardt, who was unable to parlay early successes in Iowa and North Dakota into anything beyond a win Tuesday in his home state. Election rumor strong| WINNIPEG" (CP) —~Pre- mier Howard Pawley left a New Democratic Party cau- cus meeting this morning and conferred with aides in his office amid speculation that he was finalizing details for a provincial election following his government's stunning defeat Tuesday evening on a non-confidence motion. The rest of the NDP cau cus remained behind closed doors in a legislature meeting room, Pawley's wife Adele, and their daughter Charysee were seen arriving at the legislative building in down town Winnipeg. Maverick NDP backben cher Jim Walding shocked everyone by voting with the opposition on Progressive Conservative Leader Gary Filmon’s non-confidence mo- tion on the provincial budget. The non-confidence vote on the budget is considered in parliamentary tradition to be the most important a gov- ernment faces and Premier Howard Pawley has few options but to resign and call an election after being de- feated 28-27 in the vote. However, Pawley said he would wait until after a caucus méeting this morning to make an announcement about an election. “Once we have completed our caucus discussion . . . wil ii voice, emergency meeting government members. Pawley, whose govern- ment's popularity has been with hurt by recent premium hikes levied by the publicly owned automobile insurance company, huddled with sen jor cabinet ministers and party officials, NDP members sat in bitter silence after Walding stood to vote in favor of Filmon's motion condemning the bud get, while the Tories thump ed their desks and whooped with glee. The Conservatives needed the help of both Walding and Liberal Leader Sharon Car. stairs in the 57-seat legis. lature to defeat the govern. ment. Walding, a 50-year-old for. mer Speaker of the house, quickly left the chamber from a door on the opposite side of the house from the NDP caucus room. He said he was tired of carrying the responsibility for the government's sur. vival since former health minister Larry Desjardins resigned his seat, leaving the NDP with a one-vote major. ity. Speaker Myrna Phillips, the NDP member for Wol seley, can only vote to break ties. “It is time for the people of Manitoba to decide whether the government still has a mandate to govern or not. It's too much of a strain for one man,” said Walding, his voice shaking with emotion as he walked alone down a corridor towards his office. The grey-haired optician quickly left Winnipeg after the vote for an undisclosed location, a family member said. Kk Wind: He became disgruntied with the government when NDP officials tried to oust him from his St. Vital riding before the last election in March 1986, in which Paw. ley's government was elected to its second term. Walding was then passed over for a cabinet post and he has been a thorn in Pawley’s side ever since. Wednesday, March 9 7:30 p.m. PLACE: Brilliant Cultural Cen: tre.

The witnesses, addressing about 300 people outside an Armenian Orthodox Church on Tuesday, did not say how many people died in the clashed between Azerbaijanis and Armenians in the southern Soviet Union. But they indicated the violence has been much more widespread than Soviet authorities have acknowledged. The Kremlin has announced 33 deaths in rioting in Azerbaijan. “In our village they killed four people — I don't know how we got out of there,” one elderly Armenian told the crowd, without naming the village. “On Feb. 28, they were killing and raping,” he said. “They killed a 16-year-old. They killed people out in the open, in public.” The witnesses said regular army troops and militia had been called out to protect Armenians living in several cities and towns in Azerbaijan.
