...spent the following five years in Manhattan, studying with Lee Strasberg and appearing in more than 140 TV shows. He also met and married Brooke Hayward, the daughter of Producer Leland Hayward, and she introduced him to her friend Peter Fonda. Teaming for a series of low-budget motorcycle movies, Hopper and Fonda were ready to turn in their Harley-Davidsons when they decided to make just one more, for the money. "We saw it as a western, only on motorcycles," says Hopper. "We were the strangers in town, the outlaws." With Easy Rider, which Hopper directed, these cocaine-sniffing...
...negate the negative. In an election dominated by negative advertising, the most effective counterattack came in South Dakota, where Democrat Tom Daschle turned Republican Senator James Abdnor's ads against him. When we last tuned in, Abdnor was running a commercial linking Daschle to Actress Jane Fonda, who, the ad incorrectly claimed, eschewed red meat -- not a trifling charge in a state where beef is a leading farm product. During the three weeks that the ad aired, Abdnor made up about ten points in the polls. Then Daschle decided to attack the attack with an ad showing a bunch...
When health writers were asked to a private lunch with Jane Fonda last summer, one of the journalists panicked. "I have to be thin to meet Jane Fonda," thought the columnist, who then proceeded to binge compulsively on bagels. "Instead of eating one, I ate three."

...South Dakota the race could be called the Jane Fonda election. When first- term Republican Senator James Abdnor found himself trailing telegenic Democrat Tom Daschle by nine points, he unleashed a barrage of TV spots charging that his rival had consorted at a congressional hearing with Fonda, conservative America's most reviled radical. Fonda, Abdnor pointed out, had urged people not to eat red meat; beef and pork are among South Dakota's biggest farm products. The upshot: Abdnor has now pulled slightly ahead...
This week's cover portrait of Mafia Chieftain John Gotti is Artist Andy Warhol's fifth TIME cover since illustrating "Today's Teen-Agers" in 1965. The others: the Fonda family (1970), Michael Jackson (1984) and Lee Iacocca (1985). Like all TIME cover art, the Gotti print will be donated to the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution. The final selection was chosen from 30 different versions prepared by the artist, who tempered his affinity for vivid hues. "The colors Warhol used are rather somber and threatening," says Executive Art Director Nigel Holmes. "Unlike with Michael Jackson...
