...gets sucked into the strange rituals of the place, the exercises, the competition and-most of all -the mystical subculture of pumping iron. He makes friends with Joe Santo (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, himself a former Mr. World and Mr. Universe), and starts an intimate exercise program with Mary Tate Farnsworth (Sally Field), an employee of the spa. The real estate deal gets less real, but Craig hardly gives it a thought. He is too busy searching for himself among the barbells...
...humor, his knack for visual surprise, turns the spa into a suitably shabby field of honor. Joe Santo trains for the Mr. Universe competition by pressing weights in a Batman getup. The owner of the Olympic, a toupeed madman who calls himself Thor Erickson (R.H.

"It has not fully sunk in yet," said Attenborough happily last week after learning that he was among...
...radical organization's top members. He recalls one memorable strategy session in Flint, Mich., when Bernardine Dohrn exulted over the grisly details of the murders committed by the Manson family. At one point, she exclaimed: "Not only did they kill those pigs, they shoved a fork in [Sharon] Tate's stomach and then sat down and ate dinner there." Dohrn's details were wrong-it was Leno LaBianca who was stabbed with a fork-but her enthusiasm was catching.
