...everyone is familiar with Arnold Schwarzenegger's controversial interview in 1977's Oui magazine, in which he boasted about smoking hashish and engaging in group sex at his gym. But the bodybuilder turned actor turned candidate for California governor gave another interview that year with the British publication Time Out, also seeking to promote the muscleman documentary "Pumping Iron...
...Passion punch-up broke out when Gibson's father Hutton, 85, a rabid Catholic traditionalist who writes treatises on the perceived lapses of Mother Church, denied the Nazi Holocaust in the New York Times Magazine. Now Gibson should no more be blamed for the sins of the father than Arnold Schwarzenegger is. But Mel, who attends Latin Mass, is outspoken against the Vatican's reforms of the 1960s. Some say he saw The Passion as his own declaration of Catholic fundamentalism. He wanted to steamroller the new Catholic orthodoxy, not steam up a host of biblical scholars...
...might have seemed that Arnold Schwarzenegger got an enormous boost over the weekend when one of his best-known Republican rivals dropped out of California's wild gubernatorial race. But by the time Bill Simon exited, his poll numbers registered as little more than an asterisk in the crowded field.

...maybe that's enough. Late last week Bustamante stunned political observers by taking the lead in the highly respected Field poll.

True, there are seven weeks to go before the vote, campaigning has barely started and, after a federal judge's ruling last week on several counties' voting procedures, the election could be delayed until March. But Bustamante's strong showing reveals two things: voters are increasingly giving up on Davis, and a rump of California's Democrats is determined to hang...
...Arnold Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial campaign opened with a blast worthy of Terminator 3, with the leading man muscling to the front of the pack even as he stayed largely out of sight in his first full week as a politician. He also added a supporting actor: Rob Lowe, of West Wing fame, who signed on to coordinate celebrity endorsements and other duties. But holding an audience for two months, as opposed to two hours, is a new challenge for the actor. That's why his team is working behind the scenes to build a brain trust and an agenda that...
