...Secret of the Lost Kingdom, the story of a prince who leaves his father's castle and lives as a peasant, will give readers heartache or heartburn, depending on how they feel about Bolton, particularly since Kingdom's long-tressed hero bears an uncanny physical resemblance to his creator. The singer wrote the story early one morning, inspired by spending a few nights in a British castle. Unlike Bolton, Travolta is no novice, having already penned articles for Esquire and Rolling Stone. His book, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, which he calls "fifty-fifty autobiographical," was written...
...Roar's creator, '70s teen idol turned television auteur Shaun Cassidy, admits that he let his "imagination soar" with the series. What inspired him to set an epic in this period was his reading of Thomas Cahill's 1996 best seller, How the Irish Saved Civilization, a book about Celtic monks who transcribed important Latin texts for posterity. (However, in the first few episodes, at least, no scholar-monks appear...
...another tip for anyone contemplating the old stop-sign prank: don't do the sign removing yourself.

...habits. GENERAL HALFTRACK, who was doddering when Beetle Bailey first joined the Army in 1951 and must by now be a very old dog indeed, is being sent for sensitivity training. "The real-life sexual-harassment problems the Army was having kind of spilled over onto us," says Beetle creator Mort Walker, 73, who has faced the wrath of feminists in the past. "Some editors felt that although we weren't condoning it, we were on the edge." So, no more chasing MISS BUXLEY around a desk or falling off his chair to get a better view when she walks...
...matter which episode of M*A*S*H you watch, you'll hear someone complaining about being there. Last week two of the chief whiners, Major Frank Burns (LARRY LINVILLE, left) and Major Charles Emerson Winchester (DAVID OGDEN STIERS, right), along with series creator LARRY GELBART (middle), went back willingly. They were invited to Korea by the USO to commemorate the deactivation of the last M*A*S*H base in Korea, the 43rd Surgical Hospital, which also happens to be the one on which the book, the movie and the TV show were based. "It was very, very...
