...always take a picture with my fish," insisted Actor Paul Newman, 50, after hanging upside down from a hook in Islamorada, Fla. Newman, on a weekend vacation with Daughter Nell, 15, had landed a 273-lb. hammerhead shark from the Gulf Stream waters off Florida's southern coast. Back on the dock, he decided to try a variation of the traditional angler's photograph with his trophy.

King Charles II of England and his mistress Nell Gwynn both died from the complications of severe hypertension; so did such modern-day statesmen as Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin.

Their crippled son Hamm (Gerry Bamman) treats the universe as a sorry joke, his servant Clov (Larry Pine) as a straight man, and his fate as a glorious chance to play M.C. in death's cabaret...
After graduation, Wooden married his home-town sweetheart Nell Riley and took a job as a high school coach in Dayton, Ky., where he introduced his breakneck style by whacking the players with a paddle as they ran down the court. In his first season, his team compiled a 6-11 record-his first and only losing season in nearly 40 years of coaching. After moving back to Indiana in 1934, he coached and taught English at South Bend Central High School during the week and played semi-pro basketball with the Kautsky Grocers of Indianapolis for $50 a game...
