TUNE IN THIS WEEKEND: Sarandon and Fiennes star as unlikely duo in ...
The very title “Bernard and Doris" (8 p.m., Saturday, HBO) suggests a quiet domesticity, a tale of homebodies who have grown accustomed to each other's rhy thms and quirks. And that's not entirely wrong. This made-for-TV drama is bas ed on the much-reported story of billionaire heiress Doris Duke (Susan Sarandon) and her butler, Bernard Lafferty (Ralph Fiennes). Lafferty's name figured pro minently in Duke's will, and so me suspect that he slowly kill ed her with drugs as he kept her isolated from the outside wor ld. That tabloid version of events was reflected in the 1999 CBS miniseries “Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke," starring Lauren Bacall as Duke and Richard Chamberlain as a wick ed, cackling Lafferty. Based on fact, fiction and sp ec ulation, “Bernard and Dor is" builds rather slowly and offers an entirely different view.
Whittaker Guns in Owensboro invites customers to do more than look
"Ninety-five percent of the people who pick up a gun aren't going to buy one," said Whittaker, the senior member of Whittaker Guns, a family-owned and -operated gun shop near Owensboro. "Of course there are some that do. But everyone's welcome to look at anything that's out. That's why they're there. "I don't keep any guns back. They're all for sale. There may be one of the same that's in the back. But one kind of everything we have is out." Any gun shop that intends to stay in business keeps the merchandise where customers can see it. It's Whittaker's display tactics that give his store its unique flavor; that and the large, diverse inventory. Whittaker estimated he has 5,000 to 6,000 guns in the store, which he claims makes it the largest gun store in Kentucky.
Oil prices close at more than $100 for the first time
Gasoline and heating oil prices appeared to lead yesterday's wide advance in energy prices due to the explosion Monday at Alon USA's Big Spring, Texas, refinery, which could be shuttered for two months. "The refinery fire in Texas is making people a little concerned," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research Inc. in Amherst, Mass. March gasoline jumped 10.93 cents to settle at a record $2.6031 a gallon, and March heating oil rose 11.45 cents to settle at $2.7614 a gallon, also a record. A threat by a rebel group in Nigeria to escalate attacks on the nation's crude oil infrastructure helped boost oil prices. The rebels were acting in response to rumors that the government had killed a captured leader, whom authorities later said was safe and well.
