...Anheuser-Busch's Natural Light feature Cover Girl Christie Brinkley, 27, who fills a red-and-white-striped bathing suit with come-hither bust, hips and thighs. "You don't have to be some macho jock to like Natural Light," says Brinkley in one television commercial...
Williams has his work cut out for him. This is no cheeky celebrity-jock special for weekend TV. His mentor is the most successful "serious" young writer in America. Few novelists are rewarded financially as well as critically. Fewer still make cultural waves. In the '50s J.D. Salinger produced Catcher in the Rye, the Huckleberry Finn for the Silent Generation.

There are no plans to recast Jock Ewing, who will be written out of the show before shooting for the new season begins this month...
...rogue or the impudent egotist better than Newman with his wry grin and the irresistable twinkle in his eye. But, Newman dwells under the curse of the Pretty Man. Remember Robert Redford as the prison warden in Brubaker? Newman's even less credible as a cop; he has "gentleman jock" written on his face and if you passed him in Grand Central you'd think he was a slick exec commuting from his Manhattan office to his small mansion in Darien...
