This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the
"Schedule 13D"), filed by the Charles Bronfman Family Trust, The
Kolber Trust, Renaissance Fund LDC, Stockton Partners L.P. and
Todd Investments Limited (collectively, the "Reporting Persons")
and S. Daniel Abraham.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f)(2) under the
Act, S. Daniel Abraham has elected to amend the Schedule 13D
individually while the Reporting Persons are making this amendment
jointly.  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have
their respective meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D.


ITEM 1.   Security and Issuer

          Unchanged.

ITEM 2.   Identity and Background
          
          On June 20, 1996, the Reporting Persons, together with
S. Daniel Abraham, Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder, Inc., BEA
Associates, Continental Casualty Company, Goldman, Sachs & Co.
and PEC Israel Economic Corporation (collectively, the "Other
Investors"), acquired from the Issuer in a private placement
certain securities that are convertible into, or exercisable for,
the Issuer's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common
Stock").  Accordingly, the Reporting Persons and the Other
Investors may have been deemed to have acted in concert for the
purpose of acquiring such securities and, therefore, to have
constituted a "group" for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b) under the
Act.
          
          The Reporting Persons have no agreement, arrangement or 
understanding with any of the Other Investors or with any other person
to act in concert for the purpose of holding, voting, or disposing
of the Common Stock or any other equity securities of the Issuer.  
Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons are not
members of a "group" that includes the Other Investors for
purposes of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act with respect to the
Common Stock and, therefore, to the extent that the Reporting
Persons and the Other Investors could have been deemed a group
for the purpose of acquiring the Common Stock, that group is
terminated.
          
ITEM 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Unchanged.

ITEM 4.   Purpose of Transaction

          Unchanged.

ITEM 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          (a)  Unchanged except that for purposes of computing
the percentages of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons in the aggregate, and by each Reporting Person, pursuant to
Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Act, the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of Series N Preferred Stock and exercise 
of the warrants held by the Reporting Persons (which equal 3,869,088)
have been deemed to be outstanding.
          
          I.	Reporting Persons in the Aggregate.  The Reporting 
Persons, in the aggregate, have the right to acquire 3,869,088 shares
of Common Stock, which represent approximately 6.3% of the outstanding
Common Stock.
          
          II.	Reporting Persons Individually.

          Renaissance Fund LDC.  Unchanged, except that the approximate
number of shares of Common Stock which the Renaissance Fund LDC has the
right to acquire represents approximately 1.96% of the outstanding 
Common Stock.
          
          Todd Investments Limited.  Unchanged, except that the 
approximate number of shares of Common Stock which Todd
Investments Limited has the right to acquire represents approximately
1.93% of the outstanding Common Stock.
          
          Charles Bronfman Family Trust.  Unchanged, except that
the approximate number of shares of Common Stock which Charles Bronfman
Family Trust has the right to acquire represents approximately 1.76% of
the outstanding Common Stock.
          
          The Kolber Trust.  Unchanged, except that the approximate 
number of shares of Common Stock which the Kolber Trust has the right
to acquire represents approximately 0.59% of the outstanding Common 
Stock.
          
          Stockton Partners L.P.  Unchanged.
          
          (b) - (e)  Unchanged.
          
ITEM 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
          Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
          Unchanged.

ITEM 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits

          None.

                           SIGNATURE
                          ----------

          After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my
knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in
this statement is true, complete and correct.
