...course, the Terminator is no Jesse (the Body) Ventura. The Body was a troubled soul who, we discovered in the course of four years that got longer and longer, truly despised politics and the limelight and growled and ranted and threw snits and went and sulked in his tent. He was like the turkeys that are bred for white meat and grow enormous chests and are unable to walk around on their little ankles and have to be kept in hammocks and fed through a tube. He was something of an embarrassment. The Terminator is a charming man with...
...climb; why Bass will give Everest another go; why he'll face competition from Miura, who will also return. "I wanted to encourage the elders in the world that if man keeps hopes and a dream, believes in the dream and works toward the dream, the heart and soul of man will remain young," Miura says.

Typical American that he was, he always wanted the instant gratification of the big boff...
...warehouseful of humanitarian awards--is death for a comic. But he prevailed, mostly because of the reservoir of goodwill he had stored up by entertaining the American military on all its battlefields, in all its wars, for a half-century. Those lonely young men, facing death, didn't want soul; they wanted cheek and sass, a moment's escape, girl gags, second-lieutenant gags, K-ration gags--well-machined jokes that drowned out the machinery of war. They loved him for the trouble he took on their behalf. And their affection spread outward...
