Though he had the image of a “highbrow” actor in Paul Muzursky’s The Tempest, and did well in Robert Altman's Quintet and The Wedding, few Americans remember him. Gassman, an incorrigible dynamo at 62, keeps coming back for more. He's on tour in the United States with his one-man show, Viva Vittorio. After warming up in Spanish this summer with performances in Argentina and Brazil, he took his show to Los Angeles. It includes a dramatization of a Franz Kafka story about an ape, who having learned human speech, relates its transformation to a scientific congress. “I did it in French in France, and I'll do it in English in America,” Gassman said in an interview before leaving on tour. “After all, an ex-ape is entitled to an accent.” He's also doing Luigi Pirandello's playlet, The Man With a Flower in His Mouth. It is the tale of a lonely man who is stricken by a fatal disease and who haunts a provincial railroad station, trying to forget his doom by talking to strangers. After a rendition of the Alexander Dumas classic, Keene, rewritten by the French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre, Gassman gets to the meat of the show; a freestyle one-act play by Italian author Luciano Codignola, Theatre is Bad for You. Switching from tragedy to music hall romp, he pieces together Shakespeare's Hamlet, Othello and Richard III. “It is all around themes that have always haunted me solitude, difficulties of communication, and metamor phosis and change,” Gassman said. Metamorphosis and change have been the corner. stone of Gassman’s life. He was born in Genoa in 1922, but the family moved to Rome when he was five years old. Gassman’s father was German civil engineer. le Liberace letter forged LAS VEGAS, NEV.

George, who contributes wholesomeness, chirpy ban ter with Jimmy the Greek and celebrity profiles to CBS’ NFL Today football show, joined the CBS Morning News Monday as the prob- able permanent replacement for Sawyer, who makes her debut on 60 Minutes Sunday “Whether it’s a tryout or permanent I don’t know,” said Jon Katz, executive pro- ducer of the Morning News. “I don't make those deci sions.” A source at CBS News, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Ed Joyce, president of CBS News, and vice-president Howard Stringer favored George, “and barring an unforesee able catastrophe, she’s the choice.” For his part, Katz doesn’t object “Tm not the least bit em barrassed by Phyllis George, whose role will be a strong one, primarily as a feature person in the area of life News desperately needs someone who relates to fam- ilies and women.” George is married to John Brown, the former governor of Kentucky, and they have two children. The apparent choice of George is a reflection that the morning news shows, more than any other network news broadcasts, are hybrid programs that must be all things to all people. They wake up viewers with hard news about the world, as well as softer news about themselves. They also appeal to the dawn's differ ent constituencies: the early rising professional with a train to catch and the house. bound viewer with time to kill TV news often has been ctiticized for being more style than substance. The hiring of George may add more ammunition to that argument. “I probably am de fensive about that,” said Katz. 10-TV information Sastlegar library storytime — Present ed by Judy Wear mouth. 6:30—WKIJHL Hockey The Rossland War riors vs the Spokane Flames.

Their case is based on the same argument the Nishga Indians of the Lower Nass took to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1973. The court ruled 5-4 against, and while the Nishga considered it a moral victory, it's given them little weight at the negotiating table Armed with new support for aboriginal rights in the Canadian Constitution, the Gitksan-Wet 'Suewet'en chiefs who launched this suit are determined to prove that a 200-year-old roya! proclam. ation still guarantees their ownership.

Supreme Court to de AMNESTY REPORT Activists punished By PAUL KORING LONDON (CP) — Human rights defenders face imprisonment, torture and assassination in some countries, Amnesty International said today in its annual report. “Human rights activists have been tortured and killed in El Salvador and Guatemala, confined to correc- tive labor camps or psychiatric hospitals in the Soviet Union and abducted or imprisoned in other countries,” said the international organization. “The attacks on those who defend human rights are an attempt not only to deter dissent but to eliminate the very exercise of conscience,” said the report. in its preface. “When individuals expose the crimes of the state, they are punished as if they were criminals, (yet) it is they who have acted in accordance with international human rights commitments accepted by their govern ments,” while those “governments act with contempt.” The 382-page 1983 report has entries on 117 countries. Amnesty’s annual catalogue of man's inhumanity to man recounts a litany of human rights abuses without attempting to compare the records of different govern ments. “Such comparisons are open to political misuse,” said Amnesty while also declining to make comparisons with previous years. FEW GROUNDS “There were no grounds for speculation on whether . still sometimes succeed, at least temporarily, in covering up the extent to which they violate the rights of their people; this makes any attempt to discern a trend still less realistic.” However, the vast differences between the human rights reeords of different governments readily become apparent in the report’s country-by-country survey. Among the horrific abuses reported by Amnesty: e In Turkey, “torture was widespread and systematic” with more than “21,000 political prisoners in Turkish military prisons.” e In Indonesia, “there was strong evidence that about 4,000 people suspected of crimes were killed without any judicial process.” e In El Salvador, “all branches of the military and security forces were involved in a systematic and widespread program of killings, torture, mutilation and ‘disappearance’ of men, women and children, sometimes en masse.” e In Sri Lanka, “members of the Tamil minority and of opposition parties were held without trial, sometimes incommunicado, under emergency regula: ions.” e In Peru, “for the first time, a pattern of widespread extrajudisical executions and ‘disappearances’ " were reported. e In the Sudan, new “laws introduced the cruel punishment of amputating a hand for convictions of theft.” MILD ENTRY By comparison, the entry for Canada, seemed mild Amnesty said it was “concerned about allegations that prisoners convicted of common crimes had been subjected to torture or ill-treatment after a prison riot,” at Archambault, Que., in July 1982. Following the presentation in June 1983 of an Amnesty report which said there was “reasonable ground to believe” that human rights abuses had followed the riot, the government announced in August that the correctional investigator would conduct an inquiry into the allegations. clare Indian ownership of the 54,000 square kilometres.

(AP) Injecting a drug into fluids surrounding the brain has brought improvement in Alz heimer's disease victims, ap parently because the drug mimics effects of a natural chemical of which they have lower than normal levels, a study says. Alzheimer's is a degener ative disease doctors say in the fourth-leading cause of death among the elderly. Its symptoms may include loss of memory and bodily functions and change in personality. No cure is known. Dr. Robert Harbaugh, a Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medi cal Centre neurosurgeon, re ported improvement in Alz heimer's patients after injec tion of bethanecol chloride into brain fluids.

Sterritt said the chiefs de- cided to take the issue to court because of proposed major resource projects they say threaten the land and rivers they claim. “We are not claiming land held in private ownership,” Sterritt said. “The action is for so-called Crown land only. “The B.C. government will not recognize our aboriginal title and therefore will not negotiate land claims with us. “The federal government's position is based on offering us social and economic wel- fare programs instead of local autonomy.
