Rip Torn, who plays the harried producer on HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show, credited its star for his supporting actor in a comedy honor. “I stand here — it’s all due to my boss Garry Shandling and his comic genius,” Torn said. Best comedy series writing went to NBC’s Frasier, giving the show three Emmys, includ ing two in the weekend’s preliminary awards.

A car with four passengers pulled up at an intersection and one person opened fire, riddling the passenger side of Knight’s car with bullets, police said. The 25-year-old Shakur, in the passenger seat, was shot several times in the chest and was in critical condition follow ing surgery Sunday, said Pat Morris, a nursing administrator at University Medical Center. A police communications supervisor who would only iden tify herself as Mrs. Coleman said Shakur “will survive.” Knight, 31, who was driving, suffered a minor head wound, police said. His Death Row Records produces the work of Shakur and other rappers including Snoop Doggy Dogg and Hammer. Police had made no arrests as of Sunday. Winfrey tops best- paid entertainers list NEW YORK (AP) — Talk show host Oprah Winfrey has talked ... and talked ... and talked her way to great wealth. In fact, she’s talked so well during the past two years that she once again ranks atop Forbes maga zine’s list of the 40 best paid entertainers. Her combined 1995 and ’96 earnings: $171 million. That puts Winfrey $21 million ahead of No. 2, director Steven Spielberg, and returns her to the top spot she last occupied in 1993. “The reigning queen of talk television, Oprah just keeps on going, despite a temporary dip in ratings two years ago,” Forbes says in its Sept. 23 issue, released Sunday. The magazine said a fitness book she co-wrote added to her Winfrey talk show earnings. Spielberg, ranked No. 1 in 1994 and 1995, fell to the No. 2 spot Winfrey occupied last year as his $150 million two-year esti mated gross income failed to stack up. Next on the list are the Beatles at No. 3, Michael Jackson and the Rolling Stones in fifth place. Rounding out the top 10: the Eagles, Arnold Schwarzenegger, magician David Copperfield, actor Jim Carrey and Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park. Forbes noted that the world’s top 40 list, which the magazine has been compiling since 1987, has over time seen increasingly eye-popping numbers in the income figures it calculates. “A decade ago the top salary for a Hollywood actor was about $5 million. Today it’s more like $20 million,” the magazine says. “A hot new rock band at the cen ter of a bidding war can fetch $600,000 for delivery of a record — four times what it would have gotten in 1987.” December Graduates Official Texas A&M Graduation Announcements on sale at the AC MSC Box Office & 1st Floor of Rudder Tower September 2 - September 20, 1996 Offering Personalized as well as Traditional Announcements http://graduation.tamu.edu GO FAR IN THE AIR FORCE.
