Newhart, who starred in several prime-time television shows over the years, was raised Roman Catholic. His son Timothy graduated in 1989 from Washington's Catholic University with a degree in English literature. The comedian said the hardest part of being Catholic was learning the Ten Commandments. He poked fun at the first one: Thou shalt not Thou Shalt Not is the initial phrase of most of the Ten Commandments brought forth by Moshe the prophet. It can also mean:

New Disney parade disappoints ANAHEIM - Disneyland's Light Magic, its replacement for the Main Street Electrical Parade The Main Street Electrical Parade is a regularly-scheduled parade, created by Bob Jani, famous for its long run at Disneyland at the Disneyland Resort most summers between 1972-1975, 1977-1982, and 1984-1996. , had little spark during a dress rehearsal for season pass holders. ``There is no light and there is no magic to this production,'' Angy Jacobus said. ``It was a cute little production that any high school could have put on if they had access to Disney copyright material.'' The 29-year-old Yorba Linda resident, a pass holder, demanded a refund after he visited the park Tuesday during the rehearsal, he told The Orange County Register for Saturday's editions. Employees at the park referred all questions Saturday to Disney's press and publicity department. A message left for spokesman Tom Brocato was not immediately returned. Brocato told the Register there were refunds given, but he wouldn't say how many. Light Magic will open to the public Friday. The 14-minute float-filled ``streetacular'' will feature what Disney describes as its most extensive use ever of fiber-optic lighting in a theatrical production. Brocato said the park will continue to ``tweak'' the show to improve it even after it debuts. Problems at dress rehearsal included repetition of the theme song and a float getting stuck along Main Street, Brocato said. But it wasn't just the glitches that bothered some pass holders. ``I didn't get it at all,'' said Maxine Myers, 52, who drove from Bakersfield to watch the rehearsal. ``The Electrical Parade, every time I watched it your heart skipped a beat. This did nothing for me.'' Richard Massaro, 39, of Stanton was equally unimpressed. ``We expected something a lot more spectacular,'' Massaro said. ``The choreography was very good, but a lot of the choreography was going on at ground level'' and thus was invisible to those behind the front line of parade watchers.

Mojica said the family didn't think Prince was breathing after the accident. ``We brought him to our yard and petted him and thought maybe he would come back, but he didn't,'' Mojica said.

Author's Atlanta home now museum The Atlanta house where Margaret Mitchell lived when she wrote her Civil War saga, ``Gone With the Wind,'' opened to the public as a museum Saturday after a $5.2 million renovation. ``The Dump,'' as Mitchell affectionately called it, was twice struck by arson since efforts began in the early 1990s to preserve it as a museum. Nearly all the money spent on the restoration was donated by the German automaker Daimler-Benz. Mitchell and her husband lived for seven years in a cramped, one-bedroom apartment in the three-story, Tudor-style home built in 1899. She wrote most of the Pulitzer prize-winning novel from 1926 to 1929, and it was published in 1936.
