Hercules asked Arnold if it bothered him that lots of his fans were homosexuals--it bothered Hercules, the specter of a dark room full of hungry queens had kept him from ever seeing "Pumping Iron." "I don't think it bothers Newsweek that homosexuals buy Newsweek." Arnold was, of course, being openminded, a treacherous attitude for an existentialist. Hercules respected...
Star Trek: The Motion Picture--Surely the highlight of the Hollywood Christmas season is this week's release of the long-awaited Star Trek movie. At more that $49 million, Gene Roddenberry's epic-to-be is one of the most expensive films ever made. But the high price tag is for a good cause--a guaranteed audience of devoted trekkies has been waiting for this one for ten years. They're selling reserved seats in most theaters, but if you bribe the doorman, you're bound...
Gauthier described the Crimson's firstplace finish in the 800-yd. freestyle relay as the "biggest thrill I've ever had in swimming."

Located southwest of Moscow, the region, with a population of 50 million, is agriculturally rich and deeply nationalist. In the 1930s Stalin all but crushed the autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church and in 1946 expunged Eastern-rite Roman Catholicism in favor of the more easily controlled Russian Orthodox Church. Even so, the Ukraine by official count still has 4,000 of the 11,000 Orthodox churches now open in the U.S.S.R.-only a fraction of the 53,000 churches in Russia before 1917. Protestant Ukrainians...
