The Star newspaper said Barnard was making plans to move to Switzerland because he believed South Africa was headed for chaos despite efforts to end apartheid and share political power with the black majority. He was leaving to ensure the future of his 2-year-old son, Armin, it said.
Barnard said he had supported efforts to end apartheid, but was dismayed by the results, including the failure of black leaders to contain factional violence that has claimed hundreds of lives in recent months.
\ Macaulay Culkin, the 10-year-old star of "Home Alone," will be heard but not seen on Saturday morning television.
Culkin doesn't have the time for a TV show but was willing to do a voice-over for an NBC cartoon series, his agent, Paul Feldsher, said in the April 13 issue of TV Guide.
The character whose voice he will provide will resemble Culkin, whose "Home Alone" is the highest-grossing comedy in movie history.
The TV series, scheduled for the fall, is about a boy who realizes a different wish for himself each week.
Even if the pint-sized Culkin were willing to star in a series, television probably couldn't afford him.
"He's untouchable for television now," said John Matolan, CBS vice president. "Since `Home Alone,' he's gone stratospheric."
\ Adam Rich, who played mop-topped Nicholas Bradford on the sitcom "Eight is Enough," has been freed on bail after his arrest for investigation of burglary.
Rich, 22, was arrested early Saturday near a pharmacy that had been broken into, police said. He posted $5,000 bail later in the day.
\ Princess Diana skied for the first time since Prince Charles narrowly escaped death three years ago in an avalanche that killed a friend.
The royal couple's children, Prince William and Harry, also skied for the first time. Their mother took them to the nursery slope on the fashionable resort of lech in the Austrian Alps.
Six-year-old Harry took a tumble and ended up with his goggles around his mouth, while William, 8, found the only puddle on the slope.
