...Georgia, the southern republic that was home to both Stalin and his dreaded secret police chief, Lavrenti Beria. Stalin never appears in the movie, but the main character, a local tyrant, is easily recognizable as Beria. Under his rule, people are arbitrarily arrested and then disappear. In one flashback, a woman searching for news of her missing husband hears about a delivery of logs carved with the names and addresses of prisoners. The woman searches in vain for her husband's name. Nearby another woman finds her loved one's name and caresses the log as if it were...

Korn suddenly transforms into a frisky young king, pleasantly nervous on the eve of his wedding. No matter which incarnation of Arthur he is creating, shy playful fellow or idealistic ruler or tortured husband, Korn plays multifaceted despot with warmth...
...damage was grave, and it must have been an unpleasant flashback for Royals lefthander Charlie Leibrandt, who took a two-hit shutout into the ninth. Leibrandt, 17-9 during the season, lost game four of the American League playoffs against Toronto after taking a 1-0 lead into the ninth...
