...Friedland, like their Hollywood forefathers, have also apparently learned that imitation is not only the sincerest form of flattery, but it is also one of the surest signs of success. Jump, which is about stock-car racers in Appalachia, is described as "like The Hustler, except that the Paul Newman character doesn't have a pool cue-he drives a car." The budget on that one will be Cannon's limit, $300,000. With that kind of money, they reason, even if the picture bombs in the big Northern cities, they can still turn a handy profit down...
...draw the crowds. Dan Gurney and Poncho Gonzalez sprinted into the lead, lost it, and then regained it by cutting up-and across the infield-thoroughly disqualifying themselves. Second behind Smothers and his partner Bobby Unser came Astronaut Pete Conrad and Mario Andretti. Despite a sprained ankle, Paul Newman leadfooted it out of the pits so furiously that he tore up his car's transmission. But the whole race was so casual that for once Parnelli Jones, Newman's co-driver, did not seem to mind losing...
...only phobia I have that I know about is heights," said Paul Newman. "I get clammy even watching somebody else up in a tree." So there was Newman near the top of a 90-ft.

Heller is also a friend of artists. He was an early patron of Pollock, Newman, and Kline, has sold many of the paintings thus acquired to Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art-keeping a few favorites for himself. Today he buys mostly primitive, classical and Oriental objects. "I buy as a collector, basically because it is beautiful, and I hope that someone else will...
...bandaged fifeplayer and a drummer playing a set to kill British and Indians by. The Indians were supposedly (according to the white man's textbook) psyched up by their own percussion accompaniment to the war dance. Hitler broadcast Wagner's pulsating nationalistic themes. So now, since Thunderclap Newman is telling us "we gotta get it together because the revolution's here," we should begin to feel that musical high-energy rush bursting through the dam. Singles such as "Seize the Time" and albums such as "The Last Poc?s" are the adrenalin of the black community. Everywhere liberals and radicals...
