...DIED. LARRY DESMEDT, 55, biker and motorcycle builder known as "Indian Larry"; of injuries suffered while performing a stunt; in Charlotte, North Carolina. A favored subject of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who admired his "crash-and-burn" lifestyle, he was most famous for a chopper he built and dubbed "Grease Monkey." died. ALASTAIR MORTON, 66, South African-born executive who oversaw construction of the Channel Tunnel linking France and England; in Bosham, England.

The bill, however, specifies that the human rights of North Koreans should be "a key element in future negotiations." Diplomats participating in the six-nation talks?which include South Korea and China, a Pyongyang ally?have...
...first major series, which was co-produced with French television company Canal France International and aired on CFI's satellite service last December. The 13-part series follows an African storyteller who wanders around the world - from the icy North Pole to tropical jungles - with his singing pet monkey, Golo. On one level, Kabongo is a parable about an African immigrant who must adapt to the outside world, says Sauvalie; on another level, it's just a rollicking adventure show. It certainly clicked in France. "It's a magnificent series, very ambitious, and very African," says Pierre Block de Friberg...
