CUSIP NO. 412693103              SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 6 of 9

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 
13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on 
September 4, 1998 by Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P., a California limited 
partnership ("RCBA L.P."); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California 
corporation ("RCBA Inc."); RCBA GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability 
company ("RCBA GP"); and Richard C. Blum, the Chairman and a substantial 
shareholder of RCBA Inc. and a managing member of RCBA GP (collectively, the 
"Reporting Persons"). The principal executive office and mailing address of 
the Issuer is 2939 Miller Road, Decatur, Georgia 30035. The following 
amendment to Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby made. Unless otherwise 
defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to 
them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- ---------------------------------------------

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

(a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q, there were 
31,057,973 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of July 14, 1998. 
Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions 
described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report direct holdings as 
follows:  (i) RCBA L.P. and RCBA Inc. report holdings of 1,697,300 shares of 
the Common Stock on behalf of the limited partnerships for which RCBA L.P. 
serves as the general partner and RCBA L.P.'s investment advisory clients, 
which represents 5.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 
RCBA GP reports holdings of 435,500 shares of the Common Stock on behalf of 
the limited partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which 
represents 1.4% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iii) Mr. 
Blum reports the aggregate of these shares for a total of 2,132,800 shares of 
the Common Stock, which represents 6.9% of the outstanding shares of the 
Common Stock.

In addition, because RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power with respect to 
182,200 shares that are legally owned by The Common Fund for the account of its 
Equity Fund ("The Common Fund"), those shares are reported as beneficially 
owned by RCBA L.P.  The Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of 
managing investments for educational institutions.  The principal 
administrative office of The Common Fund is located at 450 Post Road East, 
Westport, Connecticut 06881-0909.  The Common Fund disclaims membership in a 
group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of 
any shares held by the Reporting Persons.

Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by 
RCBA L.P and RCBA GP.  The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be 
members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to have 
beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 2,315,000 shares of the Common 
Stock, which is 7.5% of the outstanding Common Stock.  As the sole general 
partner of RCBA L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the 
securities over which RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power.  As Chairman 
and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be

CUSIP NO. 412693103              SCHEDULE 13D                    Page 7 of 9

deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA 
Inc.  Additionally, Mr. Blum may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 
securities over which RCBA GP has voting and investment power.  Although Mr. 
Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this 
Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any of the other 
shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc., or managing members 
and members of RCBA GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the 
securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc or RCBA GP, except to the 
extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

(c) Since the Schedule 13D filing, the Reporting Persons purchased the 
following shares of Common Stock in the open market:
