...handsome, 31-year-old former actor, Footlik appeared in several forgettable 1980s flicks, including Teen Wolf, with Michael J. Fox, and Iron Eagle, with Louis Gossett Jr., as well as in TV ads for McDonald's and American Airlines. He recently helped pave the way for Defago to appear before the Chicago Board of Rabbis and admit to Switzerland's numerous transgressions during and after World War II.

Charging that the 1983 film, which stars Louis Gossett Jr., 47, contained "historical errors that distort the accomplishments of the Egyptian people," Radwan banned from his country not only Sadat but all films produced or distributed by Columbia Pictures. Egyptian objections to the four-hour movie are not so much that Anwar Sadat is played by a black actor, as some...
