directed by an Italian, conquered
Hollywood by capturing nine Oscars, c
the most for any film in 26 years. t
Cher won best actress for portrayal
of a widow who discovers love in e
Moonstruck. a
Michael Douglas, who played a f
greedy, unethical inside trader in I
Wall Street, was named best actor at I
Monday night's 60th-annual
Academy Awards ceremony. t
Best supporting performers were f
Olympia Dukakis as Cher's
outspoken Italian mother coping t
with a wayward husband in t
Moonstruck and Sean Connery as the t
narci-iistea, incorruptible Chicago i
beat cop in The Untouchables.
Douglas paid tribute to his father, i
actor Kirk Douglas, "for helping a 1
son move out of the shadow," and
Cher credited her mother for urging 1
her as a little girl "to be something."
"I don't think this means that I am <
somebody," Cher told the audience <
while clutching her statue. "But I I
guess I'm on my way. Thank you."
Backstage, the actress, in a stunning,
form-revealing costume of
strategically placed spangles, told
reporters: "If I can win this statue, I
think anybody can do anything!"

* the directing award to acclaimed
filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci.
"As an Italian, as a European, the
Academy Awards has always seemed
to me like a distant ceremony," said
Bertolucci, "something fascinating,
remote ? something I really didn't
belong to. Then, one day, The Last
emperor got nine nominations, ana
everything changed immediately."
The director, who surprised the industry
by winning permission from
the Chinese government to film a
story with political overtones within
Beijing's fabled Forbidden City, offered
"a Chinese kowtow to the
Academy," saying, "This is one of
the strongest emotions of my life,

In the case of stationary cycles. Pate recommended
the latest versions with a heavy solid
wheel, known as a "flywheel." The construction
offers a smoother, steadier pedaling movement
compared with the older models that have a brake
on a lightweight, spoked wheel.
Pate said deciding where to make the purchase is
almost as crucial as picking the equipment.
A store should have salespeople who can
demonstrate the equipment and explain how to u$e.
it.
"If you go in and ask for a demonstration and
they say they can't take it out of the box to show
you how to use it appropriately, I would be skeptical
of their knowledge and commitment," he
said.
A knowledgeable sales staff should also be able
to help select the type of equipment for the purchaser's
physical condition and needs, Pate said.
