           The Schedule 13D was initially filed on June
9, 1992 (collectively, with all amendments thereto, the
"Schedule 13D") by (i) Magten Asset Management Corp., a
Delaware corporation ("Magten") with respect to the
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by investment
advisory clients of Magten (the "Investment Advisory
Shares"), and (ii) Talton R. Embry ("Embry"; together
with Magten, the "Filing Persons").  The Schedule 13D is
hereby amended by this Amendment No. 13 as follows:

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

           Item 5 as reported on Schedule 13D is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

           (a)  As of the date hereof, Investment
Advisory Clients of Magten (the "Investment Advisory
Clients") beneficially own all 5,908,520 shares of Common
Stock shown as beneficially owned by Magten (collective-
ly, the "Investment Advisory Shares").  The Investment
Advisory Shares constitute approximately 8.6% of the
68,561,049 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company
as outstanding as of August 19, 1996.  Magten has shared
dispositive power with respect to all of the shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by these Clients, shared
voting power with respect to 4,397,429 of these shares
and no voting power with respect to 1,511,091 of these
shares.

      Magten may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
the Investment Advisory Shares because Magten's invest-
ment advisory contracts with its Investment Advisory
Clients grant it the power to vote (except with respect
to one client) and dispose of such shares.  Pursuant to
Rule 13d-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, Magten hereby declares that the filing of this
Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that
it is the beneficial owner of these shares.

           (b)  Embry, as sole stockholder and a Managing
Director of Magten, may be deemed to beneficially own all
of the Investment Advisory Shares, as described in Item
5(a) above.

      In addition, Embry directly owns as of the date
hereof, 1,413 shares of Common Stock. Embry has sole
voting and dispositive power with respect to these 1,413
shares of Common Stock.

      Embry, as trustee of four pension trusts for the
benefit of current and former employees of Magten,
including himself (the "Pension Trusts"), as of the date
hereof, has sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to 96,300 shares of Common Stock owned by such
trusts (collectively, the "Pension Trust Shares").

      Embry, as trustee for three trusts for members of
his family (the "Family Trusts"), as of the date hereof,
has sole voting and investment power with respect to
8,061 shares of Common Stock owned by such Trusts
(collectively, the "Family Trust Shares").

PAGE

      Embry, as custodian for his son, has sole voting
and dispositive power with respect to 942 shares of
Common Stock and may be deemed under Rule 13(d) to have
beneficial ownership of 1,413 shares of Common Stock
owned by his wife.  Mr. Embry's son and wife are some-
times collectively referred to in this Schedule 13D as
the "Family Members".

      The Shares described in Item 5(a) as beneficially
owned by Magten with respect to which Embry may be deemed
a beneficial owner, together with the additional shares
described in this Item 5(b) with respect to which Embry
may also be deemed a beneficial owner, aggregate
6,016,649 shares of Common Stock and constitute approxi-
mately 8.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company.

      Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Embry hereby declares that
the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as
an admission that he is the beneficial owner of the
Investment Advisory Shares, the Pension Trust Shares (to
the extent such shares exceed his and his wife's pro rata
interest as beneficiaries of such trusts) or the Family
Trust Shares and disclaims ownership of the 1,413 shares
of Common Stock owned by his wife.

      (c)  Neither Embry nor Magten effected any transac-
tions in shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days
except the sales by certain Investment Advisory Clients
of shares of Common Stock as set forth on Schedule A, and
sales by the Pension Trusts as set forth on Schedule B. 
All such transactions were open-market transactions.

      (d)  The beneficial owners of the Investment
Advisory Shares have the right to receive and the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of such shares, the beneficiaries of the
Pension Trusts and Family Trusts have the right to
receive dividends from or proceeds from the sale of the
Pension Trust Shares and Family Trust Shares,
respectively, and the Family Members have the right to
receive or direct the receipt of proceeds from the sale
or dividends from the shares beneficially owned by them.

      (e)  Not applicable.
