DIED. Art Pepper, 56, gifted but tortured jazz musician who established himself as a top alto saxophonist with the Stan Kenton orchestra in the late 1940s and early 1950s and for years waged a war against his drug habit, which he detailed in his 1979 autobiography, Straight Life; of a stroke; in Los Angeles. He once said of his reliance on heroin to relieve his anguish and self-doubt: "If this is what it takes, then this is what I'm going to do, whatever dues I have to pay." During one 16-year period, he marked more time...
...presents a picture of undeniable elegance. A half-block west of the old Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, the ornate façde of the Garden Court Apartments stands as a monument to another era when the building's tenants included the likes of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Mack Sennett, John Barrymore and Louis B. Mayer. Sculpted angels still hang from its flanks; a trio of cherubs intertwine arms on the fountain out front; inside, despite a rich cache of old whisky bottles, dusty phonograph records and faded copies of the Los Angeles Times...
...term Governor Charles Thone, 58, a colorless conservative who barely campaigned for this month's primaries and who claims this race is his last. Thone, apparently underestimating the backlash among the state's financially strapped farmers, drew only 62% of the G.O.P. vote against two challengers.

...guess I'll miss Taxi the most," Mary said, sighing her big sigh. "It was written by our writers-James L. Brooks, Stan Daniels, Ed. Weinberger, the great David Lloyd. The Taxi characters were so much like us, and so good at it. The Sunshine Cab Co. was a place to work in that became a place to live in. And your co-workers became your friends: Alex the off-duty rabbi, and sweet dim Tony, and Latka the gentle schizoid. And Reverend Jim, phoning in his blissed-out wisdom from Planet X. And Elaine, the only woman...
Since December, Markoe and Letterman have been bunkered in a Manhattan hotel suite working on the show. They miss their Malibu, Calif., home and, most of all, their German shepherds, Bob and Stan. Dogs are a major topic of Letterman's comedy, and absence from Bob and Stan may help drive Letterman and Late Night to California. For now, though, there is plenty to smile about-and Letterman does, with his patented platypus grin. "I just want to make the show as playful as possible," he says. And why not? Hey folks, it's only Network Television...
