...move was a very effective attention-getter. I immediately ignored the fowl goulash before me and surveyed three very mean looking Lou Ferrigno clones who were glaring at me from above...

Probably the most familiar of Lee's TV heroes is the Incredible Hulk, a pleasant enough physicist (Bill Bixby) who turns into a green monster (Lou Ferrigno) when he gets mad at some injustice or another, which happens predictably every Wednesday night.

He is contrasted with Louis Ferrigno, 24, a Brooklynite trained by his ex-cop dad, an intense and excitable man who is always trying to buoy his boy's confidence. By the peculiar standards of bodybuilding, young Louis appears to be every bit as gorgeous as Arnold. What he cannot see, and what...
