...part, Arnett encourages such animosity with his cantankerous, profane, macho manner. Even a hunting pal, Dale Whitesell, executive vice president of Ducks Unlimited, a national conservation organization, admits, "Where James Watt would never say a four-letter word, Ray would say every one you ever heard and some you haven't." Arnett, a Californian who headed that state's department of fish and game for seven years, likes to twit his environmentalist foes, calling them "tree huggers," "Chicken Little extremists" and "prairie fairies." Some months ago, he supported a tax on the binoculars, books and film used...
BOWIE HIMSELF did more than 300 concerts in 1983 alone. Aside from the AEC, he travelled with Roots to the Source, a band made up of his ex-wife Fontella Bass, her gospel singing mother Martha, and brother David Peaston, along with drummer Philip Wilson (an old pal), and Chicago based saxophonist Ari Brown.

Will he be able to put the show on right here? You get plenty of time for your three guesses: 106 minutes, discouragingly few of which surrender themselves to the rough ecstasy of rock...
...while, he fretted over not producing the big book that his ability seemed to decree. But writing novels did not interest him, and his curiosity about the world was too sprightly to be harnessed for the long haul. He regularly worried himself sick; hypochondria be came a lifelong pal. As a Cornell student, he was convinced that he had consumption; in his later years he noted: "I have had a frog in my throat for some time now, and of course with me this develops almost instantly into cancer of the larynx, because that...
