The club had a falling-out with Conner three years ago; its entry America II fell out of the tournament seven weeks ago. Miss Parton's namesake constitutes a peace offering. "I love the way she shakes those thingies," he sings...
Away from the office, he pours his energy into diverse interests: fishing, tennis, listening to country-music favorites like Dolly Parton and Crystal Gayle, replanting his blueberry bushes.

Under the ownership of Denver Oilman Marvin Davis, the studio churned out such clunkers as Rhinestone, which paired Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton, and Blame It on Rio, which featured Michael Caine at the beach. But Murdoch has the good fortune of inheriting a shrewd studio boss, Diller, who joined Fox in October 1984 after heading Paramount, where he turned out a stream of hits that included Terms of Endearment and Flashdance...
