...conventions in the 15 states that have failed to ratify the amendment.- Some 40 national political and professional groups-including the National Education Association, the National Lawyers Guild and the Democratic National Committee-have agreed to take part in the boycott, and targets are already feeling the pressure. Miami Beach authorities reckon that their city has already lost $9 million in forgone convention business as a result. For its part, NOW estimates the loss for New Orleans at $7 million; Chicago, $15 million; Las Vegas, $30 million; Atlanta, $12 million.' The boycott was born last February as the Nevada...

He doesn't talk about his "sport" unless asked: Yes, he did use steroids; No, bodybuilders are generally straight; the gays sit in the audience. It's obvious why he chooses not to dwell on shop talk. The muscle-beach look alone will not sell the man. For Schwarzenegger, it's the personality that sets him above such former Mr. Americas as pro-wrestler Tony "Dino" Marino and comic book huckster Mike Marvel...
