Downey arrested again
LOS ANGE
LES (AP) — Actor
Robert Downey
Jr. was arrested
again —the third
time in a month
— for walking
away from court-
appointed drug
rehabilitation.
Downey, 31,
who received
an Academy
Award nomina
tion for the 1992 film Chaplin, left
Exodus Recovery Center on Saturday
morning, said Los Angeles County
sheriff's Deputy Britta Tubbs.
Downey was being held Sunday
on $250,000 bail.
After he was discovered missing,
staff called authorities and the judge
who ordered Downey to undergo
treatment as a condition of his release
on bail issued an arrest warrant.
He was arrested that afternoon
when he returned to the rehab center.
Booked for allegedly violating
bail conditions, Downey faces ar
raignment Friday on charges stem
ming from his June arrest for alleged
possession of crack, powder cocaine
and tar heroin and a concealed .357-
caliber Magnum in his vehicle.
Downey's second arrest came
Tuesday night for allegedly trespass
ing and being under the influence
of a controlled substance. He was
found sleeping in a neighbor's Mal
ibu home.
Arnold resents being
compared to Simpson
NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Arnold
resents ex-wife Roseanne comparing
him to O.J. Simpson.
Arnold is particularly upset about
abuse allegations Roseanne made
against him in the June issue of Ladies
Home Journal, where she compares
their failed marriage to that of Simp
son and Nicole Brown Simpson.
"We did not have a perfect mar
riage, and I am not a perfect hus
band. But as far
as the violence
goes, it never
happened,"
Arnold says in
the July 21 is
sue of TV
Guide.
In the Journal
story, Roseanne
said she felt she
"would be dead
if I stayed with
Tom" Arnold de
nies Roseanne's
charges of physi
cal abuse.
"I said many stupid things; I did
many dumb things," Arnold said.
"But her comparing herself to
Nicole Brown Simpson, who was
brutally murdered, is ... it's an
abomination.
Simpson was acquitted last Octo
ber of murder in the fatal stabbings
of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman.
Goldberg: Ode to
restroom differences
LONDON (AP) — It's a sister act
in the women's room but men keep
a low profile in
the gent's, ac
cording to
Whoopi Gold
berg.
Goldberg
told reporters
this weekend
that she's plan
ning a book
called Life Ob
servations —
and she says
there's no bet
ter place to
start observing than the bathroom.
"Women can sit together quite
openly with the stall toilet door open
and talk," she said. "Men go into the
bathroom and they look around. If
there's not another man in there they
can just stand and let it fly. If anoth
er guy comes in — it stops.
"They don't look at each other."
The same sharp differences are
true at home, said the Oscar-winning
star of Ghost and Sister Act.
"A woman goes into the bath
room, does all she has to do and
makes a tiny mess," Goldberg said.
"A guy goes in and shaves,
there's water everywhere, the tow
els are messed up and there's hair
everywhere."
Goldberg said her book, to be
published next year is "about why
don't we know the answers to these
questions."

Alfonso A. Soto, secretary of the Venezuelan
Student Association and master’s student, said he
hopes people can learn from the performance.
“We want the quartet to perform here because it
is one of the best ways to let people know about your
culture,” Soto said. “These types of events start the
flame of interest among people in this community,
and at the same time it allows Venezuela to show
case some of our talent and culture.”
Marta Fontes Sala, who plays the viola inti
quartet, said the group’s goals extend beyor:

“Our goal is to study, research and spm:

Luis Enrique Vargas, who plays cello in tj-rT
quartet, agreed. .t
“We are trying to be an example for those
youngsters who are about to start a dream, a wo

Dole nears final decision
on tax'Cut proposal
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Bob Dole is nearing a final
decision on a major tax-cut
proposal as he completes one
of this year’s
most-await
ed political
manifestos,
his economic
package.

Jay Lena in the ratings — he re
portedly has renewed vigor.
CBS still must grapple with
a third-place showing in the
primetime ratings that has
funneled fewer viewers into
late-night.
month, is said to be still ponder
ing the size and nature of the
tax cut itself.
Currently, there are two lead
ing rival versions, say those
close to the process: a Rea-
ganesque across-the-board tax
cut of as much as 15 percent;
and a repeal of the tax hikes of
both 1990 and 1993.
Dole, a longtime deficit
hawk, is known to be suspi
cious of large across-the-
board tax cuts, despite their
obvious political appeal for
Republicans. Aides suggest
ed he was looking hard for
alternatives.
That gives more impetus to
the tax-repeal proposal, which
would effectively return federal
income taxes to their 1986 lev
els and brackets.
Dole already has said his tax
plan would be “fairer, flatter
and simpler” than the current
system, and that a postcard
form would essentially replace
the 1040 for most filers.
That borrows on some of the
popular themes sounded by his
GOP rival and flat-tax advocate
Steve Forbes.
Forbes predicted that the
GOP candidate will offer a
tax cut that will be “sub
stantive and I think it will
be dramatic.”
