What makes that young adult dog of yours so special?

For one thing, he's yours. And you're his.

And he will love no one else for the rest of his life.

But now he's in his peak years: ages 1 to 7.

That's what makes him so special to us. And why we make Cycle" 2 dog food.

THE DIFFERENCE IS RIGHT ON THE LABEL

Compare our label with the label on your dog food. The leading canned dog food just says "for dogs." That means any dog — young, old, whatever. Cycle 2 is formulated specifically for young adults, ages 1 to 7.

During these years, your dog's nutritional needs are quite different than during puppyhood or during his later years. He uses protein, vitamins and minerals as only a young adult dog can.

Cycle 2 is specially balanced to meet these requirements.

And to help your dog stay trim and fit.

It provides the young adult with all the nutrition he is known to need.

In a choice of the meaty beef and chicken flavors he likes best. So you know that every Cycle 2 dinner is as delicious as it is nutritious.

For your dog's peak years, you can't feed him a better food than Cycle 2.

And remember: there's a Cycle food specially formulated for each important stage in your dog's life.

Cycle. Nutrition.. .for the life of your dog.

I think it's time we forget the electrifying beauty of Farrah Fawcett, life's unfairness and every man's jealousy of lucky ticket holder Lee Majors, and get this country back on its feet again!

Scott Knudson Salt Lake City It's nice to know that at least your magazine can report the facts without the sexism. The consistent reporting by other periodicals that three beautiful women could not get along on the same set has really bugged me. What makes those magazine moguls think

that the only things beautiful women have in common are jealousy, rivalry and vixenish attitudes?

Bah! Jan Herzog San Diego My friends say the TV program exists on looks and a subsistence-level talent. My response is, "Who cares?"

Gary Mantz Fullerton, Calif.

It seems highly probable that a good number of people are viewing the "Bod Squad" as it was intended to be watched: with the sound off.

Tina Booth Newport, R.I. Please, please, please—can PEOPLE stop this sickening love affair with Farrah Fawcett-Majors? She may be lovely to look at, perhaps, but she's hardly an actress.

1976 Amway Corp., Ada, Mi. U.SA All Rights Reserved

The best things in life are expensive.

If you want the best for your family, but worry about the cost, Amway may be your answer. You can join the more than 200,000 enterprising independent Amway distributors — mostly husband-and-wife teams who are proving that extra income developed through the Amway business opportunity can mean the difference between wanting and getting.

Like them, you can begin an independent business on a part-time basis. In time, it can be as small or as large as you want to make it. All it

takes is the willingness to listen to the story an Amway distributor is eager to tell you.

You'll learn how you can go into business for as little as the cost of an average pair of shoes, how you are supplied with all the materials needed to start successfully, and how the Amway distributor who sponsors you offers additional help. You'll learn that every Amway distributor started exactly the same way; and that many not only met their immediate financial needs, but

built a secure future as well.

So, listen to your Amway distributor. Find out how you can start making extra monev now. If vou don't know whom to call, dial 800-253-7501 (Michigan residents dial 800-632-9623) toll free. We'll help you get in touch with The World of Amway. Do it now. Start running out of month before you run out of monev.

California Brandy is made from grapes, not grain. Perhaps that's why it mixes so naturally with fruit juices. Next time try California Brandy instead, in your favorite sour recipe.

My opinion of Bill Bradley is reflected by this anecdote: When I was a freshman, he was a senior and president of the student council. My best friend and I went to the compulsory freshman mixer.

INTRIGUING PEOPLE OF S o it's time for the 'intriguing 25' again," went the letter we received last week from Larry Larson of Cyrus, Minn.

"It must have been difficult to scrounge up enough personalities out of a dismal year like 1976."

Well. As readers can see from this issue, we managed.

Mr. Larson's wonderfully irascible letter continued: "Looking back over your previous choices for 7 4 and '75 is like reviewing casualty lists."

With such a challenge, who could resist taking another look at both those special year-end issues? From 1974, Muhammad AM is still champ, Valerie Harper continues to tickle us as Rhoda and Leon Jaworski was back in the news recently with his book about Watergate. From 1975, Frank Borman has piloted Eastern Airlines to record profits in the first nine months of this year, Pat Moynihan got elected senator and Rosemary Rogers has 3 million copies of her new erotic gothic Wicked Loving Lies in print.

We do not require, or expect, all of our "intriguing 25" to continue to intrigue forever—or even the next year.

In that respect, Mr. Larson has a point. Two entries, in fact, from the class of '74 became Losers—Nelson Rockefeller last year, Charles O. Finley this one. Other past "intriguers" now disappoint us: one example is Indira Gandhi, who continues to make it difficult for any advocate of women's liberation to claim the world would be a more just place if we only had more female leaders.

A word should be said for past year-end features other than the "intriguing 25." Svetlana Godillo, the Washingtonbased astrologer, was remarkably prescient in her assessment of the Losers of 1974. She said John Connally would never be President or Vice-President (not bad so far), that ex-Miss World Marjorie Wallace would find " a n other rich boyfriend" (enter Jimmy Connors) and that for Elizabeth Taylor, "there is strong possibility of marriage by 1977" (bingo, but off by a month). In last year's special issue we offered an analysis of putative First Ladies, among them Rosalynn Carter, by a Chinese face-reader, Grace Lee. The qualities she found in Rosalynn's "fine contours" seem to coincide comfortably with what we know about the woman Jimmy Carter loves.

But let's return to our friend Larry Larson. When it comes to this year's "intriguing 25," he writes: "Good luck in picking. With your past record and this dull year, you'll need it." 1976 dull? Just think of what happened. Presidential election. Olympics. Mao's death. Civil war in Lebanon.

Charlie's Angels.

We believe our list of 25 reflects what an unusual year it was. As in the past, we define "intriguing" as not merely interesting and more than just bizarre. We think that most of our nominees had some impact on 1976 and on our lives. They are a splendid mix—a scientist, a quarterback, a sex researcher, a painter, a soldier and one character whose inclusion may drive you bananas. For those individuals to whom 1976 has not been kind, we—or rather, "Lily, Art and the Group"—suggest that their earlier lives are to blame. As many of you may know, there has been renewed interest in reincarnation. Whatever our Losers' belief in the occult, we wish them better luck next time around.

We try to forecast the men and women of talent whose books you will read, whose music you will dance to, whose emotions will transfix you on the big screen and small.

And finally, because we do believe that all the world loves a lover, we suggest some 1977 match-ups among celebrity singles, which a computer assures us are programmed in heaven. If you have any complaints, see IBM, not us.

So that you won't think we are picking on Larry Larson, who signed his letter "your most devoted fan," we must note that he suggested several names for our intriguing list. They did not all wind up there but no less than six of his candidates are in this issue in one story or another.

Mr. Larson's letter is typical of the involvement readers seem to feel with this magazine—and letters to us are only one index. To all of you who show your "devotion" by purchasing PEOPLE week after week, we are grateful. We hope you'll follow the interesting personalities in our pages this year and, when it's time for us to pick the most intriguing people of 1977, you'll let us know your nominations. You too, Mr. Larson.

THE EDITORS

THE PTA IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND OTHER NOVEL IDEAS FROM THE PRESIDENT-ELECT Jimmy Carter waged one of the longest campaigns in history to win the Presidency, shaking thousands of hands, speaking on TV and in person to millions of Americans. And yet the feeling persists that he is largely an unknown man who escaped the years of public scrutiny in Washington that his predecessors underwent before they moved into the White House. Carter's first few months in office will tell volumes about his style and vision. For a preview, PEOPLE Managing Editor RichardB. Stolleyand Washington Correspondent Clare Crawford spoke recently to the President-elect about his hopes and plans. The interview took place as Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter flew home from Washington to Georgia.

Wo you feel like a President?

I'm beginning to. It feels sobering, but [I am] confident of my ability to do a good job. I'm beginning to sense for the first time the hope throughout this country and the world that I will do a good job. The future peace of the world, the future economy of many nations in the world depend on how well I perform.

How are you going to be a "citizen President" and not let Washington absorb you?

Obviously one way is to remove some of the trappings of the Presidency. I'm going to minimize the overt homage paid to a President—Hail to the Chief and so forth . . .

Is Hail to the Chief really going?

Well, I wouldn't say that it will never be played, but it will be minimized. Another thing is to have staff members who have known me for years and who have—at this point at least—a completely irreverent attitude toward me.

I'm going to try to maintain that irreverence so that they will criticize me whenever they think it's necessary.

How about calling you Mr. President?

I don't feel that I am a President yet, and I don't know how to say "Don't call me Mr. President" when few people have. Another thing is to be constantly scrutinized by the press. I'll have a fullscale press conference at least every two weeks, and I intend to make rather frequent fireside chats to the American people. I've told the members of Congress that they will have constant access to me. I'll also try to have very strong, very independent members in my Cabinet. And, of course, I'll make myself available to crowds and at public events.

A b o v e , b a c k s t o p p e d by a i d e s Jack Watson (left) and Stuart Eizenstat, the President-elect ponders a transition problem.

How can you reconcile the security demands of the Presidency with being out among the people?

Today at Blair House I sent word to the Secret Service that I was going to shake hands with the people in the crowd. When I got down there they said, "Governor, we request that you not do that." I shook hands with the people in the crowd anyway. I'm not being careless, but I like to make that judgment, finally. And when there's a choice, I'd rather have contact with the people. The only home that I will have outside the White House and Camp David will be Plains, where people still treat me as one of them.

Like a prophet in your own hometown?

It's a good thing. I go to the same church at home, and I'm not going to seclude myself in the White House and bring the religious service to me. My worship [in Washington] will be at one of the nearby Baptist churches.

When a person becomes famous there's always a problem of losing old friends. What can you do about that?

That never occurred while I was in the governor's office. We had a constant stream of visitors who stayed with us, ate supper with us, gave me their frank assessment of what the attitudes At the P e n t a g o n the Joint Chiefs of the armed forces prepare to brief Carter (back to camera) and Vice-President-elect Walter Mondale.

Sen. T e d K e n n e d y (below, right) of Massachusetts takes the floor during a Carter-Monda/e powwow with Capitol Hill Democrats.

On t a k i n g l e a v e of Washington for the moment, temporary guest Carter thanks the staff of Washington's Blair House.

"Nobody h a s c o m e to m e a n d m a d e a selfish request since I was elected," Jimmy Carter says. "It's been a pleasant surprise."

were where they lived. We had a series of volunteer Governor's Mansion hostesses who came in every day to work with Rosalynn. This gave us constant access to the outside world.

Can you try something like that in the White House?

That's up to my wife. I would hope so. And, of course, my family will be used to represent me in domestic and foreign matters. Rosalynn will be a direct representative of mine, and people will have much easier access to her and my children than to me.

Rosalynn was almost like an ambassador to the Mexican inauguration. Will she be telling people how you feel?

She'll be working with elderly people, with organized groups in mental health and in many other ways, as someone who represents me personally. Anybody who knows our relationship understands that. I think, for instance, the President of Mexico, Mr. Lopez Portillo, felt almost as good having her come down as if I had.

How about your sons? Rosalynn says that Jeff and his wife, Annette, and Chip and his wife, Caron, are going to live in the White House for the first few months at least.

As you know, all three sons campaigned full-time throughout the country on their own. They're all superb speakers; they know politics, they know government. They would supplement what I just described for Rosalynn. It might be if Cyrus Vance or someone else went to the Mideast or the Soviet Union, one of my sons would go along to represent my family. I think this would help other nations know we genuinely care about them.

[Before the interview began, Mrs. Carter recalled that Amy had not been happy about moving in the second grade from Atlanta to Plains two years ago—"leaving all her friends. She really took it hard. She cried herself to sleep, and she's afraid this is going to be the same."]

With all the attention that Amy will get, how are you going to keep her unspoiled?

I really believe that Amy is unspoiled now. Amy has a very strong character.

Most children have no inclination to pay respect to one of their own peers. It is not part of the attitude of a 9-year-old to show deference to another 9year-old once they become acquainted simply because she's the President's daughter. I think that Amy's and our decision for her to attend public schools will be another way for us to know constantly what is going on in the District of Columbia, to become acquainted with other parents whose children go there, some from lower socioeconomic groups.

So you're going to have the PTA over in the East Room from time to time?

I would guess so.

Will you return to the pre-Kennedy tradition of serving only wine in the White House?

That is my present intention. Most of the Presidents have not served hard liquor at receptions.

When you were in the Governor's Mansion you went around turning off lights and turning down the heat. Are you going to make similar gestures in the White House?

One of the first demonstrable things that will occur is a substantial reduction in the White House staff.

I think this will be a good indication to the American people that I mean business.

Are you going to continue cooking —and will Rosalynn continue cooking —when you're at the White House?

I don't know. The kitchen and dining area for the First Family I understand is separate from the rest of the White House. But Rosalynn can answer that question better than I. She's looked at the house plans. We haven't had a chance to take even a tour of the building yet.

She says you cook a lot and better than she does.

I cook a lot, yes. But no, I don't cook better.

Will you recommend a Cabinet post for overseeing the energy field?

That's my present opinion, yes.

Do you still plan to repay those who provided housing and assistance to you during the campaign by inviting them to the White House to sleep over?

We're going to have them all there for the receptions Inaugural week.

There are about 800 of them who provided a home for either me or my family. I would guess most of them will be invited to the White House to spend a night.

President Nixon wrote you a letter urging lots of rest, lots of sleep. How are you going to unwind?

I don't ever get wound up enough to lose any sleep. I have a fairly easygoing temperament that I supposedly will maintain in the White House. I like to jog, play tennis and swim.

Do you expect to see a lot of heads of state the first year?

Yes, even in the first few months.

They are very eager to meet with me, and I feel the same way. But whenever possible, I would consummate that hope by staying in this country and asking them to come here. •

Are you planning to speed the federal energy program?

Yes. I think by the end of my first three months in office, I'm going to evolve with Congress and other leaders a comprehensive national energy policy.

In the p a s t Amy has not taken enthusiastically to moving. But she "lives in her own world," says her dad, and "is very independent."

J i m m y a n d R o s a l y n n C a r t e r are unselfconsciously affectionate in public. "We are identified," he says, "as being very close."

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME? THE NATION WATCHES AN 'ANGEL' TURN INTO A STAR It's the face that launched 100 shills (Noxzema, Ultra-Brite, Mercury Cougar), but she's not pitching percale here but rather the animal splendor shortsheeted betwixt. The most breathstopping star of Charlie's Angels, which could be TV's most instant (non-spinoff) hit since Bewitched, she's ascended so suddenly since September that manufacturers couldn't get their Farrah Fawcett-Majors dolls out for Christmas. The poster is breaking records and the T-shirt is due any day.

The magnificence that is Fawcett, 29, has been hiding behind the hyphen linking her to quasi-jealous husband Lee Majors. As he might have foreseen, her Angels is outrating even his Six Million Dollar Man. With a two-hour-later time slot, her vestigially girlie gumshoe series can get away with being more violent, far sexier (roughly R-minus), if equally implausible. It's all a part of the accommodation the well-brought-up Texas oilman's daughter has made.

Farrah still remembers her prayers every night, and in the morning, about as dutifully, forgets her bra. A slightly lapsed Total Woman, she won a contractual guarantee to "wrap" shooting by 7 p.m. so she can be at home with Lee. Farrah's pondering movie properties, "but I don't want to lose my perspective," she says. Her acting is still, as she concedes, "just adequate."

But her commercial agent exults that Farrah's fee is up fivefold since Angels, and her annual income approaches $500,000. Still, Fawcett-Majors, who knows whom her agent and Hollywood are comparing her to these days, frets: "It's the old Marilyn Monroe syndrome.

Nobody takes a pretty girl seriously."

AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR PAINTER? THE THOUGHT GRIEVES SOME CRITICS

'Christina's World' ( 1 9 4 8 ) by W y e t h (right) is still A m e r i c a ' s f a v o r i t e painting, w i t h about 3 0 0 , 0 0 0 r e p r o d u c t i o n s sold.

B e h i n d Andrew Wyeth's farmhouse in Chadds Ford, Pa., the banks of the Brandywine River are hardened by the winter cold. A wounded black goose lies there, its wing broken by an unknown hunter. "And they call me a melodramatist who concocts these things," exclaims Wyeth. "There is the hushed feeling of a beautiful winter day and then, look, a goose lying here with blood streaming."

At 59, Andrew Wyeth is America's most popular artist and, arguably, its most controversial. While admirers pay up to $200,000 for one of his temperas, avant-garde critics berate him as "sentimental" and "the rich man's Norman Rockwell." Wyeth defends his portraits and landscapes, which suggest a timelessness shadowed with melancholy and latent violence, saying, "In the country, you face truth more."

The painter's current exhibit, Two Worlds of Andrew Wyeth, with 300 drawings and paintings, focuses on two families, the Olsons in Cushing, Maine, where Wyeth and his wife, Betsy, go in the summer, and the Kuerners at Chadds Ford. The show has already attracted the largest audience of any living artist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (but Henry Geldzahler, curator of 20th-century art and no Wyeth fan, refused to work on it). By the first of the year Houghton-Mifflin expects to sell out the 75,000 first editions of Wyeth at Kuerners at $60 apiece. "I wasn't at either place to paint a nice

group of pictures or bucolic memories," Wyeth explains. "I was emotionally involved with the strange mood of a smile or timeless eyes, a moment of eternity."

After the effort of the Met show, Wyeth is fallow now. He has no hobbies since he gave up fencing because of a recent fall which injured his right arm.

"It was appropriate timing," he says. "I have a good excuse not to paint." Fastidiously casual in a green Nehru suit (locally tailored) and black velvet slippers, he often walks across the snow-dappled fields to visit a mill he restored nearby. To a visitor he pointed out a miniature King Arthur's castle, given to him when he was 12 by his father (and mentor), the famed book illustrator N. C. Wyeth (Robin Hood, Treasure Island). (Andrew Wyeth's own son Jamie is also a painter; his other son, Nicholas, is an art dealer.) "I get a kick out of miniature things," Wyeth says. "Anything large in life I like to see smaller."

Popular as he is here, Wyeth is relatively unknown in Europe. He will make his first trip to Paris this spring to be installed by the French Academy of Beaux Arts, the first American so honored since John Singer Sargent.

"I'm not a great one for travel," he says. "I'll take the Concorde to get there and back as fast as I can." â&#x20AC;˘ Photograph by Arnold Newman

AFTER SEVEN BLOODY YEARS, AN ANGUISHED MOTHER ASKS ULSTER TO GIVE PEACE A CHANCE F o u r months ago, when Betty Williams formed a women's peace movement in Northern Ireland after the killing of three small children, she aroused more sympathy than genuine hope. Though Ulster's silent majority shared her revulsion at the deaths of the children —run down when a fatally wounded IRA gunman drove onto a Belfast sidewalk—they doubted the violence would stop.

They were right. The bloody sectarian conflict has gone on. Williams, herself a Catholic, was beaten unconscious at a Catholic protest meeting in Belfast. But even as radical critics accused Williams and her colleagues of advocating "peace at any price," the movement was slicing across the usual religious battle lines in Northern Ireland to reveal an unexpectedly broad base of support.

Perhaps the most significant development recently has been the growing number of men who have joined. The leadership, in fact, is now a triumvirate: Betty, her friend Mairead Corrigan, and bearded, reflective Cairan McKeown, a 33-year-old father of four who gave up his job as a newspaper reporter to become the movement's intellectual strategist.

Betty, a blunt-speaking, earthy mother of two, remains the organization's dynamo and crowd gatherer. Married to an English Methodist who is a maritime officer, she lives on four hours' sleep a night, sustained by transfusions of tea (with milk) and gin (with tonic). At a rally in London's Trafalgar Square last month, she shouted back at hecklers, "Speak up, lads, we can't hear ye!" and offered to take up a collection to provide them with throat lozenges. ("She says she's a cheeky bitch," comments her husband, Ralph, "and I agree.") The crowd of 20,000 roared its delight, and she went on to lead them in singing When Irish Eyes Are Smiling and Auld Lang Syne. "You have to be able to laugh midst all the sadness and misery," she says. "You'd go bats if you didn't."

Though Betty's schedule is unrelenting ("My escape valve," she says, "is

to have a little cry"), her efforts are being rewarded. A huge turnout of both Catholics and Protestants is expected at a New Year's Day rally in Belfast.

More than 100 peace groups have sprung up across the tiny country. And though the movement was born too late to qualify Betty Williams or the others for a Nobel Peace Prize this year, they have already received a $343,000 People's Peace Prize from sympathetic Norwegians. Soon Betty will visit the U.S. in an effort to discourage Irish-Americans from contributing to groups that fund terrorists on

either side. ("I'm so sick of the bloody past," she complains. "Glorifying people who take lives is part of our culture.")

Despite the threat of personal violence, her vision of Northern Ireland's future is confident. "Our initial mistake was to think everyone who marched with us could be counted on, and that peace would just happen," Betty says.

"All I know now is that we've made a start, and we're winning." • Photographs by Terence Spencer

Standing in Belfast bomb rubble, Williams says, "I'm in this until the people get the peace and quiet they deserve."

The less you use it, the more you've got." At the rate Young's own influence has been compounding this year, almost any job in the new Carter administration could have been his for the asking. The first prominent black politician to support the presidential candidacy of his fellow Georgian, Young personally campaigned for Jimmy Carter in some 30 states and 57 cities.

Though Young had consistently expressed no interest in leaving Congress, last week after considerable soul-searching on his part and pressure from Carter, he agreed to become Ambassador to the United Nations, the first black to head the U.S. delegation.

"The job is fraught with land mines," 30

Young says, "but there is enough potential for good in it to run the risk."

Young's decision was greatly influenced by a trip he made recently to Lesotho to participate in a conference on Afro-American relations. There he found "such a mood of expectation among African leaders about the Carter administration" that he felt for the first time "the U.S. could really make things happen in Africa."

An ordained minister, the Louisianaborn Young, 44, joined Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1961 and rose to become the famed crusader's chief lieutenant. After King's assassination Young went into politics and was elected to Congress in 1972. Sometimes criticized as too willing to compromise, Young defends his philosophy of ne-

gotiating with everyone. "I like to get things done," he once observed, "and I don't run from evil. My office has always been open to South Africans. And the meaner and whiter they are, the? more I like 'em to come by."

Though Young's U.N. appointment may remove him from the Washington mainstream, he expects to continue to have easy access to Carter. "Usually when I talked to him during the campaign," Young recalls, "it wasn't because I wanted something; it was something I thought he needed to hear.

I think this is a very positive role. There is an awe of the Presidency that makes people say what they think the President wants to hear. But we are friendly enough, and Jimmy respects me enough, that I could even bring him bad news." D

THE NEW SPANISH KING TAKES AIM AT FRANCO'S FASCIST LEGACY T h e handsome, square-jawed man who assumed the throne of Spain after the death of Francisco Franco was a puzzle. Ultra-rightists worried about his ability to sustain the 36-year-old fascist regime. The left thought him a puppet of Franco, who had brought the grandson of the last king of Spain out of exile as a 10-year-old boy and raised him to take power. The Spanish public knew Prince Juan Carlos only as a descendant of Bourbons and Hanovers, an Olympic sailor, a black belt in karate and an accomplished hunter, golfer, water-skier, yachtsman —and ribbon-cutter.

His year in office has belied that lightweight image. Step by step, Juan Carlos, 38, has moved to hand over Franco's absolute power to the Spanish people—without the widespread violence predicted—and to guide the country toward a constitutional monarchy. To win support in the provinces, he and the royal family—Queen Sophia (a princess of Greece) and their three children—have visited all but the strife-torn Basque region. The king spoke in the local dialects(his English is also perfect) and on occasion abandoned his limousine to press the flesh, American-style. In the past year the Spanish legislature has restored rights of free assembly, begun to legalize non-fascist political parties and amended Franco's draconian penal code. Last month parliament passed a bill calling for a new, bicameral legislature this spring after Spain's first free elections in 41 years.

It remains to be seen whether the army will support the king in his inevitable struggle with the right and whether the reforms enacted will be more than cosmetic. Skeptics note that the king's power is undiminished. But as one leading Spanish journalist explains: "He realized early that if he wanted his successors to reign for 200 years, he would have to rule for two.

Love of power is not a part of his personality. In his heart of hearts, he wants to reign, not rule." • DIEGO GOLDBERG

A VAGABOND GROWS UP AS COUNTRY ROCK'S FIRST LADY I f the lady comes on variously as Moonbeam McSwine, Lolita and Little Orphan Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or all threeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it's only because Linda Ronstadt resists categories. Like Oscar Wilde at the customs office, Ronstadt has nothing to declare but her talent. With her third straight platinum album, three hit singles, a smash European tour and the inevitable Greatest Hits LP at Christmas already gold, Linda is outgrowing her sex-kitten image. But growing into what? She won a "Rocky" as female singer of the year at Don Kirshner's schlock Rock Music Awards. Yet she also copped her first Grammy as best female country singer, beating out her idol and sometime session sister Dolly Parton.

The explanation is country rock, the L.A.-based hybrid that Ronstadt, 30, has helped make the dominant new pop genre of the decade. She is surrounded by evidence of her success. Her former backup band spun into a monster act of its own, the Eagles.

Politicians like Jerry Brown and Tom Hayden sought her out for fund-raisers. And for the first time since the hardware merchant's daughter split Tucson at 18, Linda is, as she puts it tentatively, "kind of settled down for the time being." She's unpacked her records in a $225,000 beach house in Malibu and has severed her occasional reliance on both drugs and the mentorlovers she once carelessly appended to her career. "Nine months, and still not a man in sight," she boasts. (Her last was comedian Albert Brooks.)

Linda has conquered her television terror (her career would be even bigger if she did TV regularly) with a guest shot on Dolly Parton's syndicated series. Recently Linda's musical eclecticism has been spreading to jazz. But the infallible sign of Linda's crossover into self-confidence is that, after recording songs by everyone from Buddy Holly to Smokey Robinson, she finally collaborated on two of her own on her Hasten Down the Wind LP. "I'm not a writer and never will be," she says, "but there's no harm in trying to come up with something and throwing it on the wall to see if it sticks." Q 3-1

TROUBLES BUILD UP FOR THE MYSTERIOUS LEADER OF THE UNIFICATION CHURCH T h e r e were signs that the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was on the wane even before the congressional palm-greasing scandal involving South Koreans erupted in Washington.

Moon's "God Bless America" rallies in Yankee Stadium in June and at the Washington Monument in September were staged at a cost of more than $2 million. But only 75,000 showed up instead of the hoped-for 300,000.

Spokesmen for his Unification Church have admitted membership goals are no longer being met. (The church says it has 30,000 U.S. adherents.)

Moon, 56, fled North Korea in 1950 and is an outspoken anti-Communist.

He lives with his second wife and eight chiidren in baroniai splendor on a 25-acre estate overlooking the Hudson

River outside New York City. He stripped the property of its name, Exquisite Acres (the former owner made Exquisite Form bras), and put guards at the gates.

The income of Moon's church in 1975, impossible to confirm because it is tax-exempt, has been estimated at $12 to $25 million. Part of it comes from his young converts who sell flowers and candy on city streets. More important are real estate holdings, largely in New York and northern California, valued at $24 million. Moon and his followers also have a sizable interest in Washington's Diplomat National Bank.

Although the IRS recognizes the group as a bona fide church, its bewildering array of tax-exempt foundations and money-raising techniques

reportedly are being looked into. Now Moon's interpreter and right-hand man.

Lt. Col. Pak Bo Hi, has been tied to the Korean government's payments to U.S. congressmen. The Unification Church â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and its recruiting among the young â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is under investigation by no less than five federal agencies, including the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and by the Vermont state legislature.

Evangelist Moon has explained that "God sent me to America in the role of a doctor." His prescription: "We must begin with this family of love and expand to the scope of the nation and the world to reach the ideal world of unity where eternal happiness of absolute value is promised."

A COOL, CALM COLT IS PRO FOOTBALL'S MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM

36

N a m a t h . Staubach. Tarkenton. Those are names with a ring to them, easy to remember. But the most potent quarterback in pro football this year labors under a name that almost begs to be forgotten: Jones.

Bertram Hays Jones, 25, is an offensive demon with quick feet, a cool intelligence and, most important, an arm that could launch footballs into orbit. As one of Jones's teammates on the Baltimore Colts puts it: "The owner of this team once said that Bert Jones is the franchise."

In his fourth season, Jones has led

the Colts to their second straight NFL division championship. In doing so, he passed for a spectacular 3,104 yards and 24 touchdowns.

One of four football-playing sons of W. A. "Dub" Jones, a former star running back with the Cleveland Browns, Bert first tried the game as a toddler â&#x20AC;&#x201D;despite a severe case of rickets that kept him in leg braces for two years. Almost every autumn afternoon the Jones boys organized a pickup game on their huge front lawn in Ruston, La. (pop. 18,700). Later his father was hired as a Browns assistant coach, and Bert

spent his summers at the team's training camp, doing odd jobs and playing catch with quarterbacks Frank Ryan and Jim Ninowski.

An All-America at Louisiana State, Jones was the Colts' top draft choice in 1973 and quickly became the team's leader. Meticulous in preparing for a game, Jones begins each day by studying films of future opponents, then spends five hours in meetings and practice. Afterward he heads home to watch more game films in the Baltimore townhouse he shares with Colt tackle Robert Pratt. ("Football plays are like

accounting problems," business major Jones observes. "They baffle you at first, but once you've learned the system they're easy.") While he says Baltimore is "okay, for a city," Bert pretty much stiff-arms the social whirl. His prime romantic interest is Danni Dupuis, 23, a gymnastics instructor and phys. ed. graduate student at LSU. A country boy, Jones happily heads for Ruston in the off-season. There he helps out in his father's homebuilding firm and looks after 200 head of cattle on his 280-acre farm. He hunts

("mainly for the chance to be outdoors"), cooks (gumbos are his specialty) and flies his own twin-engine plane. "He always gives what we call 110 percent," observes Colt coach Ted Marchibroda, "but you have the feeling that when the season is over he forgets about football."

Unlike many athletes, Jones remains objective about his profession. "Football is great money, and I love the game, but this life isn't real," he says.

"I figure I have about 10 years. I want to go out like my father did. He won the championship, and then he quit." â&#x20AC;˘

AN AFRICAN STATESMAN TRIES TO DEFUSE A RACIAL CRISIS N o one is yet calling him Julius the N, but President Nyerere of Tanzania has emerged as the superstar of black African diplomacy. Calm but tough, Nyerere, 54, is the leader of the "frontine" African nations (Mozambique, Angola, Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania) acting as a buffer between the ruling white Ian Smith government and the black nationalists of Rhodesia. He makes no secret of his fierce loyalty to black independence movements, but still advised black Rhodesians to take part in the peace-seeking Geneva talks set up by Henry Kissinger (who says of Nyerere, "I came away with a glowing respect for his vision, dedication and negotiating skills").

The rocking chair time of Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere is scant these days as he deals with the Rhodesian crisis and visitors like Henry Kissinger.

Nyerere may have learned to cope with intricate situations from his father, a Wazanaki chief who had 22 wives and 26 children. The boy grew up in a village on the shores of Lake Victoria and tended his father's goats and sheep until, at 12, he began to board at a Christian mission school 26 miles away.

At first, he has said of Christ, "I couldn't believe in this bearded man," but at 20 he became a Catholic.

After college in Uganda, Nyerere taught high school biology for three years, then won a scholarship to Edinburgh University. He earned a master of arts degree and a reputation as campus crossword puzzle champion. He returned to the territory of Tanganyika in 1952, and with independence in 1961, took over as prime minister. In the presidential election of 1962, he received 97 percent of the vote, and has been in office ever since.

Most of Nyerere's 16 million constituents are subsistence farmers. They call him "Mwalimu," Swahili for teacher. Dressed in khaki pants, bush jacket and sandals, he occasionally spends CONTINUED

Nyerere says he probably will retire in 1980 to write his memoirs and pursue his interest in linguistics (he once translated Shakespeare's Julius Caesar into Swahili). He has a reputation as a devoted husband and father —he and his wife, Maria, an exschool teacher, have three boys and four girls ranging in age from 14 to 22.

Eric Robins interviewed Nyerere for PEOPLE at the African leader's whitewalled villa in Dar es Salaam.

What do you feel about Henry Kissinger's role in trying to solve the recent crises in southern Africa?

Long before Kissinger got involved, I urged those concerned with Rhodesia, After one of Nyerere's stern lectures, his sense of humor, says an aide, is "like tropical sunshine after a black cloud shower."

mainly the British, to wait until the armed struggle and intensified economic sanctions brought a sense of reality to Ian Smith. Then Kissinger came on the scene and persisted —he's a very determined man—and so we've had the conference in Geneva.

But Kissinger would never have come on the scene without that struggle by black freedom fighters in Rhodesia.

Do you sense any hypocrisy in the new U.S. criticism of South Africa?

No, I don't. It is true America has invested in South Africa and has backed her in some respects in the past. And we have never liked this—we have said to Washington: This is wrong. If America is now changing her course, why should I say this is hypocrisy?

What do you think of Jimmy Carter?

I don't know much about the President-elect. I hope Mr. Carter will take a new look at the imbalance between the wealthy and the poor nations of the globe—a situation that is completely unacceptable to the Third World.

What do you think the future holds for the Republic of South Africa?

South Africa is no different from Rhodesia. The struggle by blacks in both countries is exactly the same—for majority rule. So what happens in Rhodesia will happen in South Africa.

The blacks will never bow to continued domination. Minority rule is utterly unacceptable in this day and age.

How do you see the whites' role in southern Africa under majority rule?

We have a problem with them. Those whites who can no longer govern in Africa have been looking for special privileges—like minority guarantees.

This is a disguised way of saying they want a privileged position, and this is absurd. The blacks in the United States, for example, are not asking for special privileges, merely equal rights.

Do these whites need soothing?

How do we soothe them? We say you are going to be treated like every one else. But for some of them that's not good enough. They say, in effect, they don't want to be treated like Africans.

What does Africa want from the U.S. ?

Understanding. • Nyerere often works in the maize and sweet potato fields. He has introduced a nondoctrinaire socialism to Tanzania.

THE VIKINGS ON MARS PROVIDE VICARIOUS ADVENTURE FOR A WOULD-BE SPACE EXPLORER I have always wanted to walk on the face of another world," Carl Sagan says. "You would have to be made of wood not to."

When Viking I touched down on Mars July 21, Sagan was "exhilarated. We had a working lander on the surface of another planet," he recalls, "and it was in perfect health, intelligent, obedient and extremely patient."

Sagan, 42, has been excited about space since he read Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne and H. G. Wells as a boy in Brooklyn. Now he is a professor of astronomy and space science at Cornell University, an adviser to the government space program and an expert on exobiology—the new study of life outside Earth.

He is also a genius in public relations, winning huge audiences—and con-

verts to the space exploration cause —with his books (notably The Cosmic Connection in 1973), lectures and TV appearances. Sagan's flair for promotion sometimes exasperates his colleagues. When Sagan, on leave from Cornell to study photographs of Mars and other data, argued that the craft should have had a movie camera aboard, one scientist growled, "Carl wanted to see rabbits hop by."

Sagan is undiscouraged that the billion-dollar Viking project so far has not found life on Mars. "There is nobody big enough to be seen—at least not yet," he says, but adds that scientific evidence about the Martian environment and topography has been "extraordinary." This is true even though Viking I and II "landed in two of the dullest spaces we could find, for

At Jet Propulsion Lab, astronomer Carl Sagan's job is analyzing photos sent from Mars by the Viking landers.

safety reasons." Still, Sagan is opposed to trying to put an astronaut on Mars. "Too expensive," he says.

Sagan returns to Cornell in January but will be back at Viking headquarters in April to study additional Mars data.

He also is finishing a new book about the evolution of human intelligence, The Dragons of Eden, and planning a scuba-diving expedition with his wife, Linda, and their son, Nicholas, 6.

He has already begun work on NASA's 1977 Mariner trip to Jupiter and Saturn, a four-year voyage, and worrying because no further missions to the planets are scheduled. "Are we going to approach the deepest questions about our universe or are we going to ignore them?" he asks. "What we do will determine how we are remembered centuries from now." • 43

SINCE TV'S SUPER-PROGRAMMER SWITCHED CHANNELS, ABC ENJOYS HAPPY DAYS AND MASHES CBS M o s t little boys want to grow up to be quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers or President of the United States.

Fred Silverman aspired to become a vice-president (for programming) of a network. His dad was sort of in the business—as a TV repairman for Sears in New York City—and Freddie wrote his M.A. thesis at Ohio State on the historic deficiencies of the ABC schedule.

Remarkably, by 25 he was already in charge of daytime at CBS and at 32 was running the whole programming shebang there.

But the capstone of Freddie's career and life (which are pretty much inseparable) came in 1976 after he had been raided away by ABC. This has been the upheaval year when CBS's twodecade hegemony over prime-time ratings ended, and upstart ABC moved astonishingly into the lead. In the benign ambience of TV biz, rivals couldn't resist saying some terrible things about Freddie. They suggested, for instance, that CBS might never have been toppled in the first place if Silverman hadn't left behind so many turkeys in the works like Big Eddie and Beacon Hill.

It is at least fair to say that Freddie's forte is show doctoring rather than innovating. It was his brainwave, for example, to beef up the secondary character of Fonzie in the then-floundering Happy Days. His breakthroughs have been not original series but spin-offs like Maude, Rhoda, Bionic Woman and Laverne and Shirley, cloned from existing hits. Further, Silverman inherited some promising pilots at ABC like Rich Man, Poor Man, supervised by his boss and final decision-maker at the network, president Fred Pierce. Likewise, Roone Arledge's Olympics didn't exactly hurt his Nielsens.

The latest and most scurrilous murmur about Freddie is that he was the model for that corporate carnivore of

a programming chief in MGM's outrageous current satire Network.

Nigglers know that when The Freddie Silverman Story is shot, Hollywood won't cast Faye Dunaway (as MGM did) but a squat, lugubrious lookalike, quite probably Tony Bennett. More seriously, Freddy would never, like Faye, get caught in the wringer of office politics and hanky-panky. He's much too obsessed with scripts (he reads and annotates every one) and promos (all of which he personally clears). Even when in Hawaii for a meeting, he phoned New York daily when the ratings came in—that was 5 a.m., Freddie time. "When the hell does the man sleep?" mutters a weary aide.

The justified complaint about Silverman is that he is a corridor shouter, a kicker-over of wastebaskets and a yoyo at delegating authority (and at weight-watching. Concerned associates are glad that he's recently pared 40 pounds and that the package he got in jumping to ABC included, in addition to his $250,000 salary, a $750,000 life insurance policy).

For a chronic workaholic, Freddie is at least a great champion of the family. The Waltons is his all-time favorite show, and he insists on eating every night with his wife, Cathy, and their daughter Melissa, 4, before he goes back to viewing the three video-cassette players rolling at once. Cathy understands his ultracompetitive type " A " personality. She was Freddie's secretary for four years until she quit —perhaps as a ploy to get him to the altar—and went to work for David Frost.

What truly distinguishes Silverman from all his predecessors and competitors—and probably explains his success—is that he does not share their crypto contempt for television and the American audience. At 39, Freddie Silverman can still laugh out loud at a Saturday morning cartoon. •

' W e l c o m e B a c k , H o t t e r ' clicked because ABC program shrewdy Fred Silverman softened the Sweathogs from JDs to classroom clowns.

W h e n Cindy W i l l i a m s and Penny Marshall scored as 'Happy Days' guests, Fred ordered up TV's hottest spin-off, 'Laverne and Shirley.'

Lindsay W a g n e r was carelessly allowed to die on 'Six Million Dollar Man' but then Silverman resurrected her as the 'Bionic Woman."

THE HAYS-ING OVER, SHE BRINGS OUT A BOOK AND GETS RELIGION I n May Capitol Hill secretary Elizabeth Ray confessed that she did no typing, took no steno and did all her House work in the bedroom. The 65-year-old lover she named, Rep. Wayne Hays of Ohio, was one of the most powerful men in Congress. He was drummed out of his chairmanship of the House Administration Committee, nearly died from a drug overdose and eventually retired.

In the six months since her j'accuse, Liz Ray has followed what seems to be the requisite course for all of Washington's fallen figures. She published a book and got religion. Dell paid her an estimated $12,500 for her ghosted, fictionalized recounting of Capitol sex, The Washington Fringe Benefit. Nude modeling gigs for Playboy and Genesis netted her thousands more. Still, in Liz's telling, she keeps her head high nowadays only because of a chin-lift operation she had in September and the instruction in Roman Catholicism she is taking at St. Mary's Church in Alexandria, Va. "I was so lonely and down and crying," recalls Liz, who was raised a Baptist. "I'm finding wonderful peace in the Catholic Church."

Trouble was not over for her even when the Hays affair ended. She ran up huge psychiatrist bills and "I have no health insurance anymore." While covering the GOP convention for Genesis last August, Liz says, she was beaned by a news camera, tongue-lashed by a Young Republican and tripped by a Secret Service agent. Then there was her disastrous acting debut in Chicago in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?

Reviewers cruelly noted that she answered doorbells before they rang and sprinted mindlessly through her lines in a shrill soprano that one critic called "suitable perhaps for dog whistles." ("I wish the critics had waited a week," Liz says. "I got better.") The play's producer, Carl Stohn, stiff-armed her reports of a romance between them as 46

"one-sidedly true," adding, "Actors are children."

She has declared a moratorium on love. "Duke Zeibert [a Washington restaurateur] is the only one I'm dating now," she says, "and he's just a friend.

AFTER 'CONVOY,' RUBBER DUCK IS KING OF THE ROAD A m o n g the more than 20 million good buddies who keep Citizens Band radio squawking day and night coast to coast, one code name is treated with special reverence. It is "Rubber Duck," the handle of former Omaha ad executive Bill Fries, d / b / a C. W. McCall, the man atop the truck at right.

With his record Convoy—the year's best-selling single—McCall changed a country's notion that " C B " had anything to do with the Navy or Hollywood.

Convoy and other CB hits have helped create the most incredible electronics boom since the early days of television.

Manufacturing and selling CB equipment has become a $2.5 billion business. And the Federal Communications Commission is so overwhelmed with applications for CB licenses that it will add 17 new channels Jan. 1 to the 23 already assigned.

Before the fad peaks, an estimated 60 million sets will be in operation (and giving fits to TV reception in some areas).

Bill Fries began doing commercials in 1974 for a Midwest bakery, using the McCall twang and CB jargon that he learned from truckers as a kid in Iowa. Bread sales shot up 200 percent, and from then on McCall was money in the bank. Convoy rolled out of the second of Fries's four albums.

Since then he has signed up to endorse Midland radios and is planning a world concert tour. (He also thought briefly of changing his legal name to C. W. McCall.) "Great things have happened to me," Fries acknowledges.

"The challenge now is to see how far I can make it go."

With their three children grown, Fries, 48, and his wife, Rena, travel the state fair and concert circuit in a motor home outfitted with a powerful CB unit (one of five he owns). Truckers hearing Fries's "Rubber Duck" are only too eager to come alongside. One night in New Mexico he offered free records and T-shirts to a trucker who had given him a weather forecast. By the time Fries reached the next highway interchange to deliver, 10 trucks and six cars had assembled. Mercy sakes alive, old C.W. had got himself a convoy. •

THAT REPORT ON WOMEN'S SEXUALITY BECOMES A BEST-SELLER, AND ITS AUTHOR MOVES ON TO MALES T o w a r d the end of his life, Sigmund Freud was still wondering, "What does a woman want?" By many accounts, the best answer yet to an important aspect of that question is The Hite Report, a 400-page compendium of women's attitudes toward sex. Author Shere Hite, a 34-year-old former model and graduate student in social history, put five years into the book, editing and interpreting more than 3,000 responses to her own detailed questionnaires. In the process she went $30,000 in debt.

"I had no social life to speak of," she recalls. "I worked seven days a week, 12 to 15 hours a day. I borrowed money to pay people to help me."

The resulting book was a bombshell —a collection of unstintingly candid testimonials to good, bad and ugly sexual experiences. The study's central finding, as Hite puts it, is that "sexual intercourse, for most women, is an ineffective way to achieve orgasm." ("That doesn't mean women don't want men or need them," she adds.) The book is a best-seller, with 355,000 copies in print and translations in four languages under way—and its author is suddenly both wealthy and celebrated.

"I get about 500 letters a week," she says, "most of them saying, 'I'm really glad to find out that I'm not abnormal.' " Hite suffered the writer's proverbial unhappy childhood. Born in St. Joseph, Mo. to parents who separated when she was an infant, she went to live with her grandparents nearby—and attended church "every Sunday for a long, long time." When her mother remarried Shere moved back and took her stepfather's name. But that marriage also broke up, as her grandparents' did later, and at age 14 she moved in with an aunt and uncle in Daytona Beach, Fla. She worked her way through Florida State and earned a master's degree in the methodology of research in the social sciences. Following that came four years as a model in New York, Paris and Milan (including a nude layout in Oui). It wasn't until 1971 that she made her first, apprehensive contact with the women's movement. "I was modeling for the Olivetti typewriter campaign at the time," she recalls, "and I didn't think the other women would like me."

Shere still lives alone in a sparsely furnished 16th-floor apartment in Manhattan, overlooking Central Park. A devotee of opera, vintage clothes and late movies, she loathes getting up before noon unless an early-morning interview demands it. There is not always a man in her life, she says, but there is one now. "I would feel much more like getting married now that I'm financially independent. I would also like to adopt children at some point.

When I get my work back on an even keel, I'll be able to do that."

Author Hite lives with her pooch, Rusty, in a one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. For exercise she jogs in place.

But work will continue to consume her. Alfred Knopf and Ballantine have paid $300,000 for another Hite Report on male sexuality. (Sample question: "Do you like feeling aroused for extended periods of time or do you prefer to go to orgasm relatively quickly?") Next she wants to do a study on "what love means to women, what they expect and what they actually get out of it." After that? "I'd like to write an opera," she says. • Photographs by Arthur Schatz

WITH THE SOVIETS PART OF THE PEPSKI GENERATION, PEPSICO'S CHIEF IS NOW WAGING WAR ON COKE In Los Angeles, Dallas, New York and other big cities, television viewers are being treated to a new form of entertainment: dueling colas. PepsiCola, runner-up to Coke in sales, opened fire against its chief competitor with a "taste test" commercial, which compared the two beverages and concluded that "Nationwide, more CocaCola drinkers prefer Pepsi to Coke."

Coke retaliated with a spoof of the Pepsi spot ("One sip is not enough"), and the war is still escalating.

thirstier for Pepsi by putting more salt in the snacks.

The son of a dairy farmer from the Washington town of Sequim (pronounced "squim"), Kendall drove a milk truck after high school, then dropped out of Western Kentucky State Teachers College after a year.

He served as a Navy pilot, joining Pepsi as a fountain-syrup salesman in 1947.

Within a decade the dynamic, persuasive Kendall was head of the company's international division.

The decision to tackle the leader head-on—an approach considered too risky by many admen—was made by Donald Kendall, 55, Pepsi's self-assured chief executive. As the $440,000a-year chairman of PepsiCo, the parent company, Kendall presides over an empire with sales last year of $2.3 billion. It includes North American Van Lines, Wilson Sporting Goods, Monsieur Henri Wines, Ltd. and Frito-Lay. So far Kendall's taste-test gamble has paid off. For the third quarter of 1976, PepsiCo earnings jumped a record 25 percent, much of it from increased cola sales. "I love to see Pepsi and Coke go to it in the marketplace," says Kendall, as he tosses a log into the mirrored fireplace of his elegant offices in suburban Purchase, N.Y.

His presence at the kitchen debate ultimately paved the way for Kendall to give the Soviets their own Pepski generation. In 1972 Pepsi became the first U.S. company to manufacture a consumer product in the U.S.S.R. It now has two plants operating in the Black Sea area, and within 18 months will open three more in Moscow, Leningrad and Estonia.

Kendall is not all business. He has an impressive art collection in the Connecticut mansion where he lives with his wife and their children, Donald, 9, and Kent, 7. He also has two grown children from a previous marriage. An avid sportsman, he jogs every morning at 7, skis in Jackson Hole, Wyo. and goes salmon fishing in Iceland.

Kendall has maintained strong ties with the former President. After Nixon lost the 1960 election, Pepsi became one of his law firm's biggest clients.

Nixon played the piano at the reception following Kendall's 1965 wedding to his second wife, the Baroness Reudt von Collenberg, then went on to convince her to become an American citizen. Kendall and the ex-President still team up for golf at San Clemente.

Kendall is no stranger to confrontations. A longtime pal of Richard Nixon, he was present at the famous 1959 "kitchen debate" in Moscow between then Vice-President Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev. On the sidelines Kendall scored his own triumph. While photographers snapped away, he handed Khrushchev a Pepsi. "It was a hot day," Kendall recalls, "and he wound up drinking eight."

Bottle and bear symbolize Kendall's invasion of the U.S.S.R. During the NixonKhrushchev "kitchen debate," Kendall (left) handed out Pepsis.

After Kendall took over Pepsi in 1963, he made clear to Joan Crawford, widow of the former chairman, Alfred Steele, that he would be the company's chief spokesman. And in 1965 Kendall explained the company's merger with Frito-Lay by saying he wanted to make everybody Large photograph by Harry Benson

In the next administration it is likely that Coca-Cola chairman J. Paul Austin, a Carter supporter, will have the inside track with the White House. "That doesn't bother me," insists Kendall, glancing at the autographed photo of Richard Nixon on his office wall. "Austin took a stand politically—and I applaud him for it." •

A NEW STAR (AND BROADWAY TOO) DISCOVER THAT BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL AT THE BOX OFFICE They're calling it "The Great Black Way," and a glance at Broadway marquees tells why. A year ago there were two black shows. Now there are seven, all in good health, and four more musicals are scheduled this season.

Black stars aboundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Clamma Dale, Norma Donaldson, Billy Dee Williams.

But when a leggy lady named Vivian Reed belts out "No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown" in a voice that could shake first-balcony chandeliers, the queen of black Broadway hardly seems in doubt.

Vivian Reed is the high-kicking star of the nostalgic Harlem revue Bubbling Brown Sugar. Although she joined the cast with third billing, she was the one nominated this spring for a Tony Award (but lost out to the Chorus Line sweep).

Since then disappointments have been few. She's done TV guest shots and charity appearances, modeled for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and performed for Princess Grace in Monaco.

Last month she released her first album, entitled Brown Sugar.

It's an unexpected career for a young woman who studied opera for three years at Juilliard. Around home in Pittsburgh there's another kind of music: her father, a maintenance worker, sings Gospel part-time. In the '60s Vivian converted to pop with the explanation, "I need that audience every night." Musical comedy turns out to be her real gig.

Stardom has meant moving from three rooms in Harlem to a West Side high-rise with a doorman, two bed-

Her o w n c a r e e r anything but on the skids, Vivian Reed says, " A s soon as one black play folds, another will take its place."

rooms "and closets. Oh lord yes, plenty of closets." Her view from the 38th floor made Dad weak in the knees.

Vivian is also looking over movie scripts, but "I'm staying away from all those karate things." Only her romance with the show's hairdresser, Gene Sheppard, seems to have suffered.

"Oh, we still see each other," she says nervously, "but not on a steady basis."

Vivian is pleased at the number of black shows, more so at the dramatic increase among black theatergoers. Weekdays Sugar draws an audience that is 60 percent white, 40 percent black. Those figures are reversed on weekends. "That's when black people can get out and bring their kids," she says proudly. "All they really had before was the Apollo." â&#x20AC;˘

A CRIPPLED VET BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY IS A NEW BREED OF YANKEE DOODLE DANDY The government took the best years of my life away from me and millions of other young men. I just think they're lucky I wrote a book instead of buying a gun.

I t took Ron Kovic seven years to go from gung-ho Marine to paraplegic veteran protesting the Vietnam war from his wheelchair. It took him only two months to write his angry book about it, Born on the Fourth of July. Described by the New York Times as "the most personal and honest testament" yet on the war, it has been sold to the movies for $150,000 (with Al Pacino in mind as the star).

Ex-sergeant Kovic tells of accidentally killing one of his own men, of his unit maiming a group of Vietnamese children, then weeping as they carried the victims to a helicopter. He describes being wounded at the DMZ and coming home in I968 "the sexless man . . . the man who can't make children."

Because of the publicity given his opposition to the war, Kovic was chosen to second the nomination of draft resister Fritz Efaw for VicePresident at the Democratic National Convention.

Kovic was born July 4,1946 in Ladysmith, Wis. One of six children of an A&P clerk, he was raised on Long Island, where he wrestled on the varsity at Massapequa High. He joined the Marines the year he graduated, 1964. By 1971 he had become active in Vietnam Veterans Against the War. During one demonstration he was thrown from his wheelchair and beaten by Los Angeles undercover police. In 1972 he fell in love with a woman lawyer in the movement. When she ended their romance seven months later, Kovic says he became suicidal. "I felt the same pain that I felt when I lost my body."

The book has helped purge some of his fury at being crippled "for nothing."

With his tax-free $1,750 monthly disability check, he and a new girlfriend, Connie Panzarino, herself in a wheelchair because of a neuromuscular birth defect, have rented an apartment in Hempstead. "I'd like to create three or four more good books in the next 10 years," Kovic says. "I won't write silly trash." â&#x20AC;˘

Ron Kovic, here with his dog, Major, hated antiwar activists as a Marine in Vietnam in 1966 (inset), but later joined the demonstrations and was arrested nine times.

Unintimidated by taste or ratings (which turned out socko), Chevy Chase made NBC's 'Saturday Night' an iconoclastic call to arms.

•1^

HE'S HOT, AND YOU'RE NOT: SATURDAY NIGHT'S STUMBLEBUM SAYS SO MUCH FOR TEPID TV D u r i n g television's first two decades, its comedy seemed to assume the mission of making the world safe for hypocrisy. Network censors imposed a priggish decorum, and seldom was heard a discomfiting word. Sure, Johnny Carson got off a few sniggering double entendres and cracked himself up with endless prune jokes. But the tone was reverent and establishmentarian, and Lenny Bruce was never exactly a regular on Ed Sullivan or anywhere else. Then, belatedly, in 1971 a producer who seemed at the time like some sort of Malibu Mau Mau made his move. He was Norman Lear, and h\s All in the Family was the beachhead; yet only now, five seasons later, have the real shock troops taken over. They include the cast of Lear's own offcenter soap Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. But on TV, anyway, satire began (where George S. Kaufman once mourned that it would close) on Saturday Night, NBC's after-hours breakthrough show. Though nominally an ensemble of subversives, appropriate-

ly titled "The Not Ready for Prime Time Players," the program's arbiter of bad taste, its superstar, its most winning personality, falling down, was Chevy Chase.

Was? Yes, though reports of his death are greatly exaggerated (unlike those of Generalissimo Franco, in one of Saturday Night's most studiously offensive running routines), Chase split from the series in November. Partly it was because he felt "burnt out" (at 33) by the merciless 100-hour weeks and physically battered by the pratfalls he took constantly (often parodying President Ford). "It was like asking Picasso to do a great painting every three days," he says half seriously.

"You just don't have it sometimes."

Of course, NBC is keeping him in the shop with a seven-figure contract to write, produce and star in prime-time specials.

Movie deals are also in the works, and probably his most compelling reason for fleeing the Saturday Night New York cuckoo's nest was to light in L.A. full-time with his lady, Jacqueline Carlin, 27, a TV guest actress {Kojak) and pitchwoman (Palmolive). After a two-year, red-eye flight relationship, she became his second wife just in time for Chevy to file a joint return in his fattest fiscal year. They live in a 10-room, L-shaped home around a pool in Hollywood Hills so, Chevy deadpans, they can have "17 kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the hell with overpopulation. What's the difference if you can send them all to private schools?"

Lotusland has obviously not mellowed Chase's letch for outrage. The other day, playing to a campus audience, he heard himself say: "I don't give a crap for TV. It stinks. Its very exigencies make it a fruitless medium." That, somewhat distressingly perhaps, was just for effect, but it indicated that Chevy doesn't have a price and is not about to compromise his gonzo television style. "I still plan to express my opinions," he swears. "It may be a little more difficult on prime time, but I'm not selling out." â&#x20AC;˘

Chevy, his mother-in-law, lookalike lawyer brother Ned and new wife Jackie all got to know each other wedding week.

"When I first opened in Paris," says disco queen Regine, "everybody said it wouldn't last. That was 20 years ago."

SHE MAY NOT HAVE STARTED THE DISCO CRAZE, BUT SHE SURE BROUGHT IT UPTOWN F r o m Paris to Peoria, it's Get Up and Boogie time. Tens of thousands of otherwise rational citizens are crowding onto dance floors as part of a hip-swiveling (and mind-boggling) hustle known as the disco craze. It has become a billion-dollar business, spawning a new kind of music and new stars, fashions and dances to go with it. Some 10,000 discos have sprung up in this country alone—nearly seven times the number just two years ago.

Queen mother of the worldwide disco movement (discotheque means "record library" in French) indisputably is Regine. A 46-year-old red-haired chanteuse, she became famous by introducing Le Twist to Paris in her club,

New Jimmy's, in the early '60s.

Today Regine (real name: Regina Zylberberg) has two discos in Paris, four in Monaco, two in Brazil and one on Manhattan's Park Avenue. She is scouting sites for a club in Beverly Hills opening next fall. After that she'll plant her flag in Houston and Vegas.

Regine's are not typical discos.

"They are much more than that," she insists. "They are for exhibitionists, for people who come to be part of the show." The glittering crowd includes movie stars, oil-rich Arab sheikhs, social lions and politicians. They pay handsomely for the right to be jostled on the dance floor by household names. At her New York club member-

ship costs $600 a year, and dinner averages $100 per couple sans vin.

Meantime, Regine, who is married to a recording executive seven years her junior, is diversifying. Her line of expensive, Paris-designed evening clothes has sold well at Bloomingdale's. And after portraying a singing madam in The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, Regine is weighing other movie roles. She is also cutting a new album with Paul Anka, for which Neil Sedaka has already written three new tunes. (She sounds a little like Piaf.)

How do you say "workaholic" in French? "I'd rather be that," she replies indignantly, "than what most people are—lazaholics." •

I t was characteristic of Har Gobind Khorana that he let his MIT colleagues announce one day last August the creation of the first man-made working gene. This monumental feat is the third triumph in the career of the modest Indian-born organic chemist.

Khorana won a Nobel Prize in 1968 for pioneering work in deciphering the code by which genes transmit both hereditary characteristics and instructions for the workings of each cell. In 1970 Khorana actually built a gene out of ordinary chemicals.

This year he and his team of 24 scientists capped a nine-year effort by synthesizing the crucial " o n " and "off" switches in their man-made gene. "We like to believe this signals the beginning of a new era of chemical research," Khorana says. "The tools now available should help medical research in understanding and curing a number of hereditary diseases."

At 54, Khorana is as much a public enigma as he is a scientific idol. "Gobind hardly ever talks anything but science," says a friend. In India, where his sister and brothers still live in villages, Khorana was the son of a poor tax collector. As a boy, the scientist once told a friend, he sat under the trees reading and stopping passersby to answer his questions. He studied in university chemistry laboratories at Punjab, Liverpool and Cambridge, then taught in Canada and Wisconsin before MIT. Early each weekday and often on weekends, Khorana leaves the Belmont, Mass. split-level he shares with his wife, Esther, a Swiss (they have three grown children), and drives his Dodge to the lab. He brown-bags lunch to avoid interrupting his train of thought. Although work dominates his life, he recently took up skiing and likes to swim in the MIT pool and hike at his cabin in the New Hampshire mountains.

There he keeps index cards handy for jotting down his ideas.

Khorana will continue investigating the gene. "There are few things left on earth worth anything," says Harvard biological chemistry professor Charles Thomas. "One is a job well done. Khorana is a true craftsman." â&#x20AC;˘ Outlined against a f e w arcane equations of his science, Khorana explains the mysteries of his landmark achievement.

A SHY SCIENTIST GIVES THE WORLD ITS FIRST MAN-MADE WORKING GENE

IN MONTREAL SHE WAS JUST ABOUT PERFECT—IN MOSCOW SHE WANTS EVEN MORE

S h e burst upon the world last summer at the XXI Olympiad in Montreal, her porcelain doll's face set in determination. In four days the tiny Rumanian gymnast collected seven perfect scores, three gold medals, a silver and a bronze. At 14 Nadia Comaneci was the undisputed queen of the Games.

If she were an American, a commercial deluge would have followed. But distractions are at a minimum in her hometown of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, in the rolling Carpathian foothills. The ponytailed Nadia, who turned 15 Nov. 12, is already preparing for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. "There are new and more difficult elements I must introduce into my routines," she says. "I can improve, you know."

For the past eight years she has done little else. Following a regimen that is brutally demanding both emotionally and physically, she trains four to five hours a day. Though many of the gymnasts in training with Nadia are even younger than she, they are subjected to an unceasing barrage of criticism and verbal abuse from their coaches and are occasionally slapped if they repeat a mistake. Praise is rare, and tears are regarded as a badge of defeat. "A girl will never be a top gymnast if she cries," declares Nadia's exacting coach, Bela Karolyi. "I have never seen Nadia cry."

No one, in fact, regards her own performance more gravely than Nadia.

"People say I'm severe," she concedes, "but I wouldn't have had the results I've had unless I treated everything seriously." Though Nadia can be playful when the pressure is off, her smile quickly fades in the presence of interviewers. On last month's CBS-TV special, host Flip Wilson made her laugh but could not break through her reserve when it came to answering questions. An on-camera chat between

the two was scrubbed. "Is this what Mark Spitz was like?" moaned one Rumanian interpreter. "I'm sick of journalists," explains Nadia bluntly, "and )'m sick of being interviewed."

In many respects, Nadia is a typical teenager. Though she shares a room with two other girls in a comfortable athletic dormitory, she spends most nights at home with her parents in a high-rise apartment only six blocks away. Her father is a mechanic, her mother an office clerk. Nadia enjoys skiing and bicycling, takes in a movie or two each week (admission is 25 cents), keeps a huge doll collection in her room

and wages sibling warfare with her 10year-old brother, Adrian, who has wisely chosen soccer as his sport.

Nadia returned from a Black Sea vacation last September looking pudgy and out of shape, but she was trim enough eight weeks later to win the prestigious Chunichi Cup in Japan. "I'm not worried about her motivation," says coach Karolyi. "For the 1980 Olympics she will be 18. We consider that the perfect age to give the most she can." Nadia responds: "I would like to get a perfect score in every event in a single competition. This is my final goal." D

"I really do like to smile," insists the cheerful but intensely competitive Nadia. "I'm just not used to it."

HE'S NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE IN THE WAKE OF HIS WATERGATE FILM R o b e r t Redford has long been an acute disappointment to people who think anybody that beautiful should have the good grace to be dumb. He's shrewd, witty, independent, hardworking and the nation's No. 1 male sex symbol. But doubts about his acting ability have persisted, and Hollywood is in love with its legend that a producer's face should resemble an ashtray with a wet cigar butt hanging out of it. The community couldn't imagine Redford as an effective movie mogul.

That's all changed. In April, after three years of preparation relentlessly supervised by producer Redford himself, All the President's Men opened in Washington. Based on the Woodward and Bernstein best-seller about Watergate, it starred Redford and Dustin Hoffman as the reporter-heroes.

ATPM, puffed by reviewers as the best political chiller sinceZand the only believable movie ever made about journalism, became the top domestic grosser of 1976. To date it has earned $85 million worldwide. "Right now," says a film executive, "Redford could raise $20 million for a social-protest picture about undernourished cockroaches."

Characteristically, Redford lost no time getting in out of the confetti. Determined to take a year off to "catch up on me," he spent his 39th summer at his Utah hideaway, riding the high country with his wife and three children and writing a heartfelt 36-page article for National Geographic about the old Outlaw Trail. But in September Joe Levine lured him to Holland for the World War II epic A Bridge Too Far. Redford, who didn't even have to shave (location shot, left), scooped up $2 million for four weeks' work.

Currently he's in preproduction on two new mov|es, one of them the Judith Guest best-seller Ordinary People.

He also took time out in October, after an overnight bull session with Jimmy Carter in Plains, to support publicly the candidate's position on the environment. "And I guess," he says, "All the President's Men didn't do the Democrats any harm." â&#x20AC;˘

THE ISRAELI GENERAL WHO LED THE ENTEBBE RAID IS A GLOBAL HERO, AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY D a n had been acting strangely all week, Israeli Army Capt. Miri Shomron recalls. Dan is Brig. Gen. Dan Shomron, who was once Miri's husband. They agreed to a divorce three years ago, but Dan kept in touch, calling regularly to ask about their 6-year-old daughter, Annat.

In late June, however, he began phoning in the middle of the night to chat aimlessly. "I sensed something was on," Miri says. "Then there was a call Saturday morning, and I knew he was going into action. It was something in his voice, so I asked, 'Are you going far?' " His answer: "Yes." As secretary to the army chief of operations, Miri Shomron was on duty the evening of July 3 at Israeli defense headquarters. A radio in the operations room was picking up Uganda, more than 2,500 miles away. Around midnight the sound of gunfire crackled on the airwaves, and a staff officer shouted into the mike, "Dan, what's happening?

What's going on in Entebbe?" Back came Shomron's measured reply.

"Stop nagging," he said calmly. "Let me work."

Shomron's "work" was the daring commando raid on the Entebbe airport to rescue 105 hostages, most of them Israelis. Passengers and crew from an Air France jet, they were being held for ransom by pro-Palestinian hijackers. Shomron, who had planned the ground phase of the long-distance strike, was the first of about 100 commandos off the Israeli transport plane.

Ninety minutes later, he was the last to leave.

After his spectacular exploit, the general received an avalanche of adoring letters from around the world.

Hundreds of gifts arrivedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all promptly returned. "I don't understand all this fuss," he pleads. "I am only one of many anonymous fighters. In military terms, Entebbe wasn't even a difficult operation."

Not for him, maybe. At 39, Dan Shomron can point to a distinguished record of valor. His paratroop battalion was the first Israeli unit to reach the Suez Canal in the Six-Day War of 1967.

In the Yom Kippur fighting in 1973,

the armored brigade he commanded knocked out 60 Egyptian tanks.

The blue-eyed, curly-haired general, a man of dash and elan on the battlefield, is painfully shy most other times. He speaks in a telegraph style and regards small talk as unproductive.

On the rare occasion when he is cajoled into attending a party, he can usually be found in a corner clutching a tumbler of whiskey. He does not drink (or smoke), but he is too polite to say no when a glass is thrust in his hand.

Shomron is happiest when he is among the sandal-wearing farm workers of Kibbutz Ashdot Yaakov, where he was born. His tastes have remained simpleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he hates French cuisine or any complicated cooking, preferring eggs, meat and fresh vegetables.

For most of his life he has scorned fashion in general and business suits in particular. "Why not just wear pants and a shirt and, when it's cold, a sweater?" Shomron wonders. When he must wear a tie, on trips out of the country, a friend has to knot it for him, leaving a big loop for Dan's head.

"He has no free time, and if he did, he wouldn't know what to do with it," says Miri. "He loves nature and beauty but will not waste his time reading about sunsets. His reading is strictly professional; it must be to the point.

And he is so fastidious that after days of fighting he will come out freshly combed and shaved." When they were divorced, Miri found him a bachelor pad. "I moved his belongings, arranged his clothes, bought some food and said, 'Danny, this is where you live.' " Miri and Dan remain close friends.

He is a good father, Miri says, even though Annat complained at the age of 2 that "Daddy does not know how to play with little girls." Miri jokes fondly: "He is in total command in everything big, but if he tries to fry an egg he will leave the kitchen like after an earthquake. If he takes our daughter for a walk, she's sure to come back with broken bones."

The Entebbe operation proved how total his command is. Shomron has confirmed reports that his raiders airlifted a Mercedes to the Ugandan

airport to confuse defenders in the first moments of the attack. "One of my young officers, who used to be an instructor in Uganda," Shomron has said, "told me that every high-ranking Ugandan officer has a Mercedes, and therefore every Ugandan soldier jumps to attention and salutes when one comes by. I counted on that salute General Shomron's ex-wife, Miri, takes a break during training in 1968. She is a captain in the Israeli regular army.

to give me the extra needed seconds."

Shomron tends to divide soldiers into two groupsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tigers and rabbitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;depending on how they behave under pressure. "Every bullet has an address," he says. "I don't think there is one with my address on it. But if there is," he adds fatalistically, "running away won't help." D

Annat, 6, gets a lift from Mom. Her parents divorced three years ago, but remain "best friends."

Tears of joy mark the arrival of Entebbe hostages at Tel Aviv's airport. They were held captive for seven days.

"If the terrorists had used their weapons on the hostages," General Shomron says, "it would have been a disaster."

PRODUCER DINO DE LAURENTIIS SEES AND MONKEY DOES— $200 MILLION, HE HOPES M e first got his hairy hooks into the American psyche—and made money when practically nothing else did—in 1933. It was primal screen, an eternal beauty-and-beast fable which, according to psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, teaches children how love redeems the repressed animal side of sex. In any case, four decades later posters from that old epic still decorated the walls of U.S. teenage bedrooms, including that of an Italian emigree named Francesca. Her mama, actress Sylvana Mangano, paid no mind, but then papa, super-producer Dino De Laurentiis, spied it and, he recalls: "I just slap my head and say, 'Oh, my God, this is an inspiration. I remake the old [as he calls \\]KonkV " One year, $24 million, many mishaps (the 40-foot monster variously caught fire and fleas) and lawsuits later, Konk was in the can. In the meantime Paramount had perfected a distribution strategy to create not a picture but a pandemic. The swine flu forebodings may have been overblown, but no American this winter will escape the

As Hollywood would have it, this picture depicts two rather lovable monsters. The 5'4" one is Dino De Laurentiis.

King (rather than the Hong) Kong strain.

Not only was the movie blitz-booked to open in 1,000 North American cities and hamlets on the same day, Dec. 17, but its merchandising (at no cost to the studio) is being implanted into everything from Schrafft's candy to Slurpee soda, Sedgefield blue jeans and Jim Beam bourbon.

Whether or not the remake itself is a patch on the powerful if primitive RKO original, it is slicker and trendier. The Fay Wray character (played by starlet Jessica Lange) at one point chastens her anthropoid amour as "you goddamn chauvinist pig ape." Some exegetes even see the picture as a parable condemning the West's exploitation of the Third World. But De Laurentiis hardly seems the man to wage gorilla warfare on capitalism.

Even if his projections are slightly wishful, Paramount chairman Barry Diller figures that from King Kong alone, and not counting the planned sequel, "Dino De Laurentiis will probably make more money next year than any other man in America." •

The supersophisticated Kong, sighs a 'Jaws' exec, makes his shark "look like a balloon." Will its box office bite compare?

EVER WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO SO-AND-SO? More than 2,000 men, women and children appeared in PEOPLE's pages during 1976. Many were celebrities and will be for a long time. Others were anonymous, revealed for a moment in

the spotlight, then fading back into the crowd. On the following pages we look again at a few of both kinds of people and briefly answer the question: Whatever happened to ... ?

AAt midyear, the Davis quintuplets of Lewisville, Texas celebrated their first birthday (Aug. 2). Christa, Chelsa, Chanda, Casey (the only boy) and Charla, from left to right, were cute as bugs but their parents worried about money. Jerry Davis is still driving a truck for $175 a week, and Debbie takes care of the kids herself. But thanks to gifts of cash and labor, the family will move into a new house next year. They're going to need the space. Three of the quints are walking now.

>Ed Ray rescued the 26 children on his school bus after they had been kidnapped and imprisoned underground in a buried truck (Aug. 2). Chowchilla, Calif, gave him a hero's day that he remembers as "real nice." But now a quiet but bitter dispute is raging in the town between Ray and some of the kids who say they didn't receive enough credit for their part in the escape. "It's terrible," Ed says. "I don't know why they got it against me."

ATranssexual Renee Richards, 42, who used to be Dr. Richard Raskind, an ophthalmologist (Sept. 6), began competing in women's tennis in the summer. She is now talking her life story into a tape recorder for Random House, which gave her an advance of $100,000. Some of the money may go to Raskind's ex-wife, Barbara, who claims Renee owes her $7,000 in back alimony.

<This was the year that was going to change Peter Falk's life(Aug. 9). He dissolved his 16-year marriage, said he would do only one Columbo segment and prepared to star in Ingmar Bergman's The Serpent's Egg. But Falk lost the Bergman film because of a schedule conflict, and he's up to three Columbo's. He is still single. "An actor," Falk says, "has to learn to live with disappointment if he's going to keep his sanity."

VMariel Hemingway, who made an auspicious film debut with big sister Margaux (May 10) as a rape victim in Lipstick, went on to play an unwed teenage mother in a TV special, / Want to Keep My Baby. She got raves but says of herself, "My voice is still horrible." The outdoorsy 15-year-old recently shot a duck for an ABC sports program and will model ski fashions for Seventeen magazine. Though her earnings are tied up in a trust until college, Mariel does covet one thingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a sewing machine.

But he has a new play, Billy Sunday, with, praise the Lord, Alice Cooper as the evangelist. It opens in L.A. in January. As for the Beatles reunion, "It's going to happen someday. It will be the most exciting day in entertainment history."

Dr. Timothy Leary, the former high priest of LSD (May 31), lost his girlfriend Joanna (at right) but reestablished himself as a big draw on the college lecture circuit. "It's wonderful," he says.

In his travels he finds "successful hippies are on their way to running this country."

"I wish we had caught them," says O'Neil, "but there are no firm areas left to check out." O'Neil spent 35 years as a cop and says, "Every time I hear about a bomb on the news, I'll miss not being there."

V Judith Campbell Exner, 42, the "mystery woman" linked to both gangster Sam Giancana and President John F. Kennedy (Jan. 12), spent 1976 in fear for her life. She and her husband, Dan, a golf pro, moved out of their mobile home in San Diego. But now Dan is considering joining the pro tour, and Judith will publish her autobiography, My Story, written with Ovid Demaris, in January. The advance from Grove Press was $100,000 plus.

VHer LBJ biography hit the best-seller

list, and she was appointed full professor at Harvard for three years. But for Doris Kearns Goodwin, 33 (July 5), the high point of the year was giving birth to son Michael Edward on July 15 with her husband, Richard (below), at her side. "It's the most extraordinary moment of your life," she says. On leave from Harvard until spring, she has started a biography of JFK. "This year with Dick," she says, "makes me wish I'd been married since I was born."

AOn the night of March 21, pro skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich was shot to death in the Aspen, Colo, house he shared with singer-actress Claudine Longet (April 5). She was charged with "reckless" manslaughter and ex-husband Andy Williams rushed to her aid. Her trial is set for Jan. 3. Meanwhile the Paris-born Claudine has bought another house for $153,000 and is teaching French at a local grade school.

ASteve Soliah was painting houses in San Francisco before he met Patty Hearst (Feb. 16), and he is back painting houses again. His lawyer says Steve is "living a normal existence." Well, hardly. He is out on $100,000 bail awaiting trial on charges that he helped rob a bank near Sacramento in which a customer was shot and killed. Steve is not likely to be reunited with his onetime roommate, Patty. Although she is free on bail herself, she says she doesn't want to see any of the young radicals from her days on the lam.

AThe boy known as John was said to have been found living among African apes (Feb. 9), and he seemed to act in a simian way himself. When two Boston professors examined him in Nairobi, they discovered that John's real name is Balthazar Nsanserugeze. Far from being an "ape boy," he is merely a human child from a Burundi village who suffers from severe mental retardation and infantile autism.

Now in Gothenburg, she's learning to use an artificial arm. "I'm going back," she says. "I've been through a part of the Palestinian revolution. I want to be there for the rest."

THE CAMPAIGN WAS LONG AND OFTEN DULL, BUT IT DID HAVE SOME SPECIAL MOMENTS There were grave issues, of course â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the economy, energy, detente. But a presidential election also becomes a kind of nationwide carnival, this year featuring sideshows like Jimmy Car-

ter's "lust in my heart" confessional, Gerald Ford's blooper about freedom in Eastern Europe and moments of silliness and discomfiture among all candidates, as seen on these pages.

Oh, s a y , c a n you hear? As one candidate spoke through a bullhorn in Portland, Oreg., shipyard workers got the message, not the smile.

AReturning home the conquering hero after winning the 110-meter high hurdles, France's Guy Drut was rewarded with a cushy government job by Prime Minister Jacques Chirac. But Chirac soon got the sack, and so did Drut. The hurdler decided to switch to the decathlon but flopped embarrassingly the first time he tried it. Then Drut bitterly announced his retirement from sports, confessing that since the Olympics he —like most world-class amateurs, he charged—had accepted under-thetable payments at track meets. Now an ad executive, he has been stripped of his amateur standing. Snaps Drut, 26: "I couldn't care less."

While in high school Shorter abandoned skiing to concentrate on his running, but now plans to train with another silver medalist, U.S. cross-country ski ace Bill Koch. Shorter, 29, hopes to compete in the national championships within two years. Splitting his time between his law practice and a sports shop he opened in October, Frank keeps in shape by running 10 miles a day in the mountains near his home in Boulder, Colo.

He had trained 13 years for his moment of Olympic glory, so he stoically continued performing.

THE FAULT, DEAR VICTIMS OF '76, IS NOT IN YOUR STARS BUT IN YOUR EARLIER LIVES Olga Korbut

Allan Jay Lerner

Charlie Finley

With baseball's new free-agent draft, the irascible owner of the Oakland Athletics suffered a crippling setback with the loss of such star players as Rollie Fingers and Joe Rudi. Montgomery's "guides" write: "Finley was such an outstanding discus thrower in ancient Greece that he won the Olympic laurel wreath several times. He yearns for those days of splendor. He will not be a loser for long and will strive once again to obtain a harmonious team. When he does, victory is a distinct possibility."

After stealing the show at the 1972 Munich Olympics, she was badly upstaged four years later by Rumania's Nadia Comaneci. Now21, Olga plans to hang up her leotards and get married: "Korbut was in one past life the mistress of a great 19th-century estate in Lithuania. She could have reached great heights as a singer had she not felt that this was beneath her. In a later life she was a courtesan in Yugoslavia who loved tennis and swimming. It was effortless for her to win, but she preferred popularity to winning, so she disdained training. She has brought the same attitude to this life. Now her interests are straying, and she will never again attain a foremost place in sport."

The lyricist who scored with My Fair Lady and Camelot laid one of the biggest eggs in Broadway history when the Bicentennial musical he co-authored with Leonard Bernstein, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, folded after seven performances: "Lerner was the former King of England, Edward VII. Edward's life was lived to the full, and when death came, he spent little time in the spirit plane before rushing to take up the joys of theater, women and song. A soul starred with greatness, Lerner has a big winner coming up within the next three years."

Drawings by Sandy Huffaker

For a few of the famous, 1976 was a big downer. According to psychic Ruth Montgomery, 64, whose best-selling books include A Gift of Prophecy, A World Beyond and The World Before, it was all destiny.

"Every morning," says Montgomery, "I sit at the typewriter for 10 minutes with eyes closed while my spirit pen

pals—'Lily,' 'Art'and 'the Group'—type through my fingers." She contends that "Art" is the late Arthur Ford, the medium who in 1960 taught her "automatic writing." These spirit guides, she explains, have recounted a number of her own past lives—Mon tgomery believes she is the reincarnation of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, among

others—and have also described the incarnations of many prominent figures. "By recalling past lives," she says, "we can overcome flaws that are retarding our progress in this one."

With that in mind, PEOPLE asked Montgomery to consult Lily, Art and the Group on the spiritual backgrounds of some of the past year's biggest losers.

Leonard Bernstein Bella Abzug

The world-famous conductor and former wunderkind not only took half the blame for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he also split with Felicia, his actress wife of 25 years: "Leonard Bernstein derives much of his musical talent from a lifetime 300 years ago in Jerusalem. He was a rabbi, chanting Mosaic litany, and he was devoted to the lyre and flute. Sometimes Bernstein would join with Arabs in songfests in the hills, but he was a rebel who secretly swore to rid Israel of the Muslims. His current political beliefs, though rather shallow, stem from that past pursuit of Jewish autonomy. If he eschews politics, he will receive magnificent acclaim."

New York's outspoken congresswoman resigned from the House to run for the U.S. Senate, narrowly lost the Democratic nomination to Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who then won the election: "Early in the 1800s Bella Abzug was a man-about-town in Manhattan. Of Dutch descent, he cut such a wide social swath that President Monroe often invited him to the White House. In this life, if she had won her Senate bid, her arrogance would have been unbounded (as happened in the 19th century).

She will emerge stronger for having lost and should try again—in a manner less shrill.

Bill Cosby

I Spy, the NBC-TV series in which he starred with Robert Culp, lasted from 1965 to 1968. Since then Cosby has tried—without success—to make it in a prime time series all his own. This season ABC's Cos was canceled, giving its star the unhappy distinction of having flopped on all three networks: "Once a warrior against the Romans in Gaul whose troops were often defeated, he rose above the battle to gain wide respect. Later in colonial America, Cosby was a white planter in Alabama. He held slaves but was much beloved by whites and blacks alike. He will emerge in other fields besides acting and will be revered for his work in race relations and education."

Prince Bernhard Madame Chiang Ching

Richard Schweiker

Accusations that Queen Juliana's husband took $1.1 million in bribes from Lockheed rocked the Dutch throne, and the Prince was forced to give up his military and business posts: "In other lifetimes Bernhard has been drawn toward the flame of power without ever actually sitting on the throne. His besetting sin in ancient Rome was an appetite for wealth, which he carries over into this life. Too bad, but Juliana forgives."

Anthony Armstrong- .

Jones M

Republican presidential hopeful Ronald Reagan picked liberal Pennsylvania Sen. Richard Schweiker as his running mate before the convention in Kansas City. The ploy, alas, failed: "During the American Revolution, Schweiker was a rich Tory in Massachusetts who also tried to win friends among the patriots. He feared endangering his comfortable living. As a consequence, he was unpopular with both sides. Some thought him an opportunist. He has lost standing in this lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as he did in Massachusettsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because of his inability to take strong stands on principles."

Three months after Chairman Mao's death, his widow is being denounced by the current regime in China: "Chiang Ching was a leper in the British Crown Colony of Borneo in one of her former lives and was ostracized from society. She still feels the sting and horror of that tragic time. In this life, subconsciously recalling her time as an outcast, she revolted against established society and threw her lot with the Communistsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and for a classless society where she would not be shunned. She will find a better balance between these two lives the next time around but will not reemerge as a strong power in this lifetime."

Lord Snowdon, 46, and his wife, Princess Margaret, 46, legally separated in March: "During the 18th century, ArmstrongJones was a roustabout in the Canadian wilds who attracted women like honey woos flies. In another life in France he refined the rough edges and was an opera buff who frequented salons. He still wants to rise above the ordinary, and Margaret was a gateway to the enchantment he sought. Despite the present turmoil, he will become a man of substance on his own."

F.Lee Bailey

This year the celebrated trial lawyer lost (pending appeal, at least) what may be the most important case of his career when his client Patricia Hearst was convicted of bank robbery: "In ancient Athens, Bailey was an associate of Solon the Lawgiver and was privately critical of the way justice was administered. In revolutionary France, he was a defender of the upper classes against the street rabble. He retains a desire that rich and poor be treated equally under the law. A trial yet to come will further spread his fame throughout the Western world."

WHEN MR. CARTER GOES TO WASHINGTON, A LOT MORE THAN THE POLITICS WILL CHANGE Recent Presidents have imprinted vastly different styles on the nation's capital. In the Kennedy administration, the motif was urbanity, with entertainment by Casals, gowns by Oleg Cassini and educations courtesy of the Ivy League. LBJ's was more downhome-spun, with his First Family of "Birds," Fresca in the Cabinet Room, beagles on the South Lawn and earthy, macho metaphors in the Oval Office.

Locker room humor also was a sub rosa indulgence in the Nixon years, but Ford brought an un-imperial openness into fashion with his breezy wife and

kids, self-toasted English muffins and a reassuring image of the suburban family man at home with pipe, martini and dog.

What will Carter's Washington be like? To get some idea, answer true or false: The waltz will give way to the do-si-do. Blue jeans will show up in diplomatic receiving lines.

Quiche Lorraine will be replaced by grits. (Answers: true, false, probably.)

On these pages are a few other elements of the Dixie life and leisure that Carter and his staff will bring to their new hometown.

THE GEORGIANS MOVE ON THE CAPITAL PERSONALITIES TO KEEP IN SIGHT COMPUTER MATES FOR CELEBRATED SINGLES

'Where will the Georgians eat? The Washington lunch spot now heavily favored is the Palm, eight blocks from the White House. Its two-pound steaks ($24) and three-pound lobsters ($18) could be for the hearty-boy set what the haute cuisine of Sans Souci was to administrations past (at left, a suggested catch-up menu). Carter staffers with unreconstructed tastes can walk three blocks to Sholl's cafeteria, an Old Southstyle buffet in business since 1928. A dinner of fried chicken, greens, spoonbread and rhubarb pie costs only $2.20. At the Palm, where presidential busts were changed, above, even before the Ford administration was retired (his likeness is up for sale), not everybody is enthusiastic about the transfer of power. The Carter people, noted one waiter, "dress different, order more duck and fish and don't tip well."

It's time to get your assets in gear What Carter wore to drain his pool, trek through the peanut fields and catch flies in Plains has now been enshrined as the "gear look" in suburban Washington. Whereas Jimmy's outfit was cutoff jeans and sneakers, Bloomingdale's outfit for the weekend Plainsman consists of $22 jeans, a $13.50 flannel shirt, a $26 vest and $65 boots.

Nobody feels the worsted for the wear.

Amy's n e w classroom Amy Carter will be the first President's child in 70 years to attend public school, and the welcome mat is out.

Her fourth-grade teacher at Thaddeus Stevens, Mrs. Verona Meeder, wife of a Methodist minister, has already offered her a spaniel puppy named Grits. And her classmates, including 13

blacks, four whites, two Pakistanis and one each from Mexico, Chile and Bangladesh, have written "hello" notes to Amy. The 108-year-old Stevens, which is eight blocks from the White House and whose 215 students are 60 percent black, will serve Amy a hot lunch for $1.50 a week. "I think," says Mrs. Meeder, "the children are enjoying all this."

Social Democrats On the social front, early returns indicate that the Kennedys will lose status points, black tie Embassy Row affairs will wither, and the big victors in cocktail politics probably will be Vicki and Smith Bagley (above). They were early and rich—from Reynolds tobacco money —Carter converts. Dubbed the "Brown Bagleys," they plunged for a $650,000 Georgetown manse just before the election. The Bagleys share Carter's hair-down social nonchalance. So does Barbara Howar, a North Carolina belletrist who has been "out" since LBJ and now dates Carter's media man Jerry Rafshoon. "Washington is a tough town," warns circuit veteran Page Lee Hufty. Vicki Bagley hopes the folks from Plains will stay plain folks.

"They'll come here warm and friendly people," she says. "If they change, it's not them—something will have done it to them."

The square deal There will be square dancing in the White House. The Carters, members of the Krazy-8 Square Dance Club in Georgia, took lessons in pregubernatorial days from Rod Blaylock, who advised, "Wear comfortable clothes, a

good deodorant and a big smile." Nor will they be Washington's only square dancers. At least 100 people do it at the Pentagon every Thursday night.

For neophytes, veteran capital caller Eben Jenkins (above) has encouraging words: "Anybody can square dance—if they're sober."

A peanut promoter rises For five lonely years, John Currier was president of the National Peanut Council, promoting "the loved.but misunderstood" legume. Now, he says, even home gardeners are planting peanuts, "and I'm in the catbird seat, watching the peanut become part of an exciting new world." There have been nutritional breakthroughs. Peanut flakes and flour can be made into artificial meat, eggs, milk—and, someday, maybe a liqueur.

Hominy miles to Plains?

According to Washington radio talk-show hosts Frank Hardin (left) and Jackson Weaver, the new government officialese will be made up of "Southernisms." To help out, they have been coaching their a.m. audience on the newspeak. (Their teaching aid is Bil Dwyer's Dictionary for Yankees and Other Uneducated People.)

Among recent lessons on vocabulary: AX—"Don't ax so many questions."

BAIL—This rings on Sunday mornings.

CHEER—What you sit on at the dinner table.

DOUGH—"Go see who's at the dough."

FAR—"If it gets out of control, call the Far Department.'

LAYMAN—A citrus fruit used in making layman pie.

MINT—"Ah mint to call, but it slipped mah mind."

MOANING—Early part of the day.

NECKS—What the barber says after he's finished with a customer.

RUM—Enclosed space in a building.

TAR—If one blows out, it's nice to have a spare.

VIRUS—An assortment, as "Virus people live here."

HEART BREAKS, PUNKS PROWL AND MC COO-DAVIS ARE THE 5TH DIMENSION MINUS THREE >Overeducated critics hail the Ra-

mones' punk rock as "minimal art" —which means three chords and windup-monkey musicianship stretched over 14 songs and 28 minutes, as on their debut LP. Not blood kin (they've each just assumed the same surname), the Ramones, all 24 or 25, have gigged out of their Queens, N.Y. turf as far as L.A. They also have a five-year record deal which makes them, of all the proliferating gritty underground "punk" bands, the most likely to surface and survive. Their hope is to join a major tour to showcase their raw, fierce music, which is a reactionary snub of more progressive, polished rock. "It should be the way rock was in the beginning," says guitarist Tommy Ramone—"sexy, hard, violent, funny."

AMarilyn McCoo and Billy Davis helped

launch the 5th Dimension with hits like Up, Up and Away. But after the classy 10-year-old group dropped out of earshot to the thudding disco and R&B boom, the duo defected. "I felt we had more to offer," says Marilyn.

Together that has meant two big hits, including their current gold record You Don't Have to Be a Star, and a CBS series next summer. Musically they will "run the gamut," says Marilyn, including gospel. Their sweetest collaboration has been marriage. "Singing to each other, loving each other," beams Billy. "It shows onstage."

four-year chart-topper, it is slide blues guitarist Elvin Bishop who's done the most to help Capricorn Records kingmaker Phil Walden kick the postAllman Brothers blues. Walden's recent gentle takeover of his career led to Bishop's first gold record, Fooled Around and Fell in Love—finally at 34.

A Tulsa-bred journeyman who gave up a National Merit scholarship to play with Paul Butterfield's Blues Band, Bishop has a new Southern-funky LP and tour. "At other labels, they told me to get on someone else's bandwagon," says Bishop. "Phil tells me to play natural, and I guess now is the right time for my kind of music."

AThwarted young rockers can p o n d e r

the lives of Seattle-raised sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson—and take Heart.

That's the name of their six-member hard rock group, which by 1975 had risen all the way to become Vancouver's top bar band, featuring ripoffs of Led Zeppelin's greatest hits. But once they recorded their own first LP, Dreamboat Annie, on the ultraobscure Mushroom label, much of what's happened since must seem like a hallucination.

Three singles, including Magic Man, all became hits, the LP has already sold 1.6 million, and Heart's been transplanted from steamy clubs into continental superstardom.

Along the way Heart has joined Fleetwood Mac as rock's major equalopportunity band. Lead singer and flutist Ann, 26, writes and harmonizes Heart's material with 22-year-old Nancy, who plays the rhythm guitar dressed in long flowing gowns. "The spirit of rock is aggressive and people traditionally attach that to men, because of the male sexual role," says Ann. "But one thing I know—people really get off on seeing a woman rock'n'roll."

Two who watch the Wilsons with special affection are the band's lead guitarist, Roger Fisher, and his brother, Mike, the sound engineer—they double as Nancy's and Ann's old men.

<With two new hit country LPs and a big single, Love Lifted Me, Kenny Rogers, 38, should call his born-again career the Second Edition. His own pop group, First Edition, splintered a year ago due to "creative stagnation," so Rogers now commutes literally and ar-

tistically between L.A. and Nashville. If his studio crossover isn't country enough, he plans to marry Hee-Haw regular Marianne Gordon and to work up a professional duet with Queen Loretta Lynn's sister, Crystal Gayle.

With Sony's new electronic digimatic clock radio, every second counts, but not out loud. Because the clock is electronic, with no moving parts, all you hear from it is the sound of silence. The FM/AM radio, on the other hand, with its big 3%" speaker, gives you full, rich Sony sound, loud and clear.

The electronic clock numbers appear, of course, in lights which you can make brighter or dimmer as you see fit. There's an alarm light time display so you can see at any time exactly what time you're set to wake up. There's a switch you can pull to automatically

zero in to the 0 second for perfect timing. And the entire clock radio is on an adjustable base so you can have the right angle at any angle.

There's even a new flashing power-failure indicator light. Plus all the accoutrements—snooze bar, 0-59 minute sleep-timer, 24-hour pre-set, earphone jack, FM external antenna—and a cabinet color choice of metallic gray or silver.

WHADDYA WANNA DO, MARTY? DIRECT! JANE FONDA'S ANSWER IS PRODUCE, KELLER'S TO STAR

AHe's been omnipresent on TV and in

such films as Young Frankenstein and Silent Movie, so when dour cockney comic Marty Feldman faced down Hollywood eyeball-to-eyeball, guess who blinked. Universal has given him $5.5 million carte blanche to co-write, star in and direct (for the first time at 42) The Last Remake of Beau Geste, a send-up in which he curiously plays Michael York's identical twin. AnnMargret is their lecherous stepmother.

How is he going to turn Beau Geste into comedy? "Humor is like sex," Feldman observes. "Those who do it don't talk about it."

A'Tm late with everything," shrugs Swiss-born actress Marthe Keller, 33.

"My first sexual experience was at 20 . . . " In any case, it says something about the '70s that if she becomes the Ingrid Bergman of her generation, it will be for her performances, not her adultery with a director. Philippe deBroca fathered her out-of-wedlock son, Alexandre, now 4, and her first major film, The Devil by the Tail.

Thence came director Claude Lelouch's And Now My Love. "It's our story," Marthe concedes. The U.S. turned on to her as Dustin Hoff-

man's lady in Marathon Manâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a part she claims to have auditioned for while tipsy. She'll be seen next in Black Sunday, as a Palestinian terrorist, and in Bobby Deerfield, as the paramour of racing driver Al Pacino (whom she has also been with off-camera). Compared to the "craziness" of Hollywood, Marthe considers her dairy farm back in Switzerland "the healthy side of my life"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;indeed, "one day I'll be married, when I have the time." But "if you want to be a movie star, and I do, you must pay the price. Now my career is my man."

Ain his 20s, Steven Spielberg was Hollywood's rookie of the decade, directing in his second at-bat nothing less than the box office champ of all time, Jaws. In 1977 Spielberg will risk that record and $14 million (Columbia's) on Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a sci-fi epic twice as expensive as Kubrick's 2001. French director Francois Truffaut was excited enough to act

AJane Fonda's latest cause is her own career. With Vietnam, Watergate and husband Tom Hayden's Senate bid all buried, Fonda, 39, has been on a moviemaking binge. First comes Fun with Dick and Jane (above), a comedy with George Segal, then Julia, with Vanessa Redgrave and based on a Lillian Hellman memoir. Also in the works is a Revolutionary War picture with father Henry and brother Peter. The latter will be produced by Fonda's newly formed company, which has two goals â&#x20AC;&#x201D;to create strong roles for women, and to answer negatively Jane's favorite rhetorical question: "Is power being white and big, strong and masculine, like John Wayne?"

in it, and Columbia president David Begelman hypes the film as "the most important we ever distributed." Spielberg, having just turned 29, says, "My dream in life is that people will stop calling me a prodigy." That could happen for several reasons. Meanwhile he still lives in a modest bachelor pad, although his take from Jaws is already $4 million.

<Waste no tears for Nick Nolte, who swaggered into the national id as the black-sheep brother in ABC's original Rich Man, Poor Manâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;only to be killed in the script. ABC offered (frantically) to revive him in the sequel as his own son, but by then Nolte, 35, had bigger fish to fry. His first splash will be in the adaptation of Peter Benchley's The Deep.

Nick laughs off reports that anything untoward happened on Caribbean location with co-star Jacqueline Bisset, and his lady of six years, Karen Ecklund, is still with him back at the southern California ranch. She also isn't threatened by another projected Nolte '77 co-star, Katharine Hepburn.

VBoishoi bombshell of the season is the imperious mezzo Elena Obraztsova, the 37-year-old diva whose debut as Amneris in A'ida at the Met created the kind of pandemonium not seen in New York since the early Joan Sutherland and Beverly Sills. Moving with the grace of a tigress and singing with immense dark power and seamless range, Obraztsova won an ovation that went on for 20 minutes. Currently back home in Moscow with her 10-year-old daughter and physicist husband, Obraztsova returns to the Met this spring to sing Dalila. Samson won't have a chance.

T h e r e will be no gaps in his Watergate tapes, declares David Frost. His four 90-minute chats from San Clemente—to be telecast in May to 70 countries—will once and for all, he vows, unravel "the enigma of Richard Nixon."

A staff of four experts will have spent 36 weeks researching questions and prepping Frost before he digs in for the first of 12 two-hour tapings in midMarch that will be edited down for broadcast. Frost (not the ex-President) has sole control, and he can interview other sources to check out Nixon's account. To prevent leaks in the interim, David cracks, he'll employ a nonEnglish-speaking crew. But suppose Nixon tries to waltz him around—as H. R. Haldeman was able to do with CBS's formidable Mike Wallace last March?

"I think," Frost is convinced, "that Richard Nixon wants to confront his past, to give his version, to be candid." As to reports that David's ready to bring legal action if he doesn't get substantive responses, he maintains that it hasn't even occurred to him that Nixon would "violate the spirit of the contract." The price was some $750,000.

Of course, to recoup all his costs, Frost has to gross $7 million, but the prospect apparently does not alarm him, for he's immersed in a whirligig of other projects. He's produced a charming children's movie, The Slipper and the Rose, which will break out across the U.S. at Easter. The Shah of Iran has retained him for $2.5 million to shoot what David grandly considers TV's first "major historical series," Crossroads of Civilization. Then there's The Prime Minister on Prime Ministers, in which Harold Wilson will take on 13 predecessors. David's also the Bill Graham of Australia, booking acts from the Bay City Rollers and Neil Diamond to Perry Como.

The one comparative constant in his life is Caroline Cushing, his woman since model Karen Graham broke their engagement in 1974. There's no danger now that Caroline will become the third woman to leave David at the altar—she's still not divorced from her American socialite husband. But will Richard Nixon? Says David Frost: "I don't have any fears." Q 110

WHAT'S COOKING? FROST GRILLS, PRYOR FRIES, A DOLLOP OF TROLLOPE AND A HASH OF BIOS

ARichard Pryor's version of The Fire Next Time is coming, ready or not, to prime time. America's most incendiary comic and (according to The New Yorker) "funniest man" will do a special and 12 half hours on NBC—unexpurgated, he insists. "I'm just going to say, 'Here's the shit, take it or leave i t . . . ' NBC will go for anything right now because they're in trouble." Pryor, at 36, finally isn't. The kid who claims he tended bar in a Peoria brothel at age 9 won a Grammy for his million-selling LP, That Nigger's Crazy. In Hollywood he's graduating from show-stealing cameos (Bingo Long, Silver Streak) to three starring features this year. In one, a bio of stock car driver Wendell Scott titled Greased Lightning, he'll be billed even above his current lady, Pam Grier.

So unless NBC turns him into the Smothered Brother, it's safe to crow as Pryor does: "I'm going to be big. What I'm happy about is I don't owe nobody, and I got enough money to go crazy with. If I have a nervous breakdown, I can be in a private hospital."

<Educationai TV became Public TV in the U.S. when it acquired its first sex symbol. The piquant view is that she was Julia Child—really, it was Susan Hampshire, the arch-bitch Fleur of The Forsyte Saga. She's back on PBS in 1977 in The Pallisers, a 22-episode televersion of six Anthony Trollope novels set in Victorian England. Hampshire felt "despondent" over the series after shooting in 1974. But she admits that life was bumpy for her at the time —she'd had three miscarriages and one baby who died, and was mid-divorce. Now 36, she's confining herself to the stage (at times opposite her lover, Nicky Henson) but, after rescreening The Pallisers, today commends it—justifiably—as "very glamorous soap opera."

VThe most popular family on TV this past year was not the Bunkers or the Waltons but Charlie Manson's: CBS's two-part Helter Skelter outrated everything save for Rhett and Scarlett.

Then, too, with the uplifting Eleanor and Franklin about cornering the Emmy market, TV's biographical traffic could be even thicker in '77. Besides the trio below, there'll be depictions of Sen.

Joe McCarthy (played by Peter Boyle) and actress Judy Holliday (possibly Bernadette Peters). ABC landed John Ehrlichman's roman a clef, The Company, which will feature Jason Robards as "Richard Monckton." And since crime plays, bioflicks on both mass murderer Richard Speck and Utah death row inmate Gary Gilmore are in progress.

Charles Bronson is NBC's General Shomron (page 72) at Entebbe.

TONY CURTIS 'PLAYS GOD' CHAIRMAN MAO, AND ACTOR JULIE EISENHOWER QUOTES V'The novel is about modern man, a lost man. New York City is full of them," says Robert Penn Warren, talking about his first novel in five years. A Place to Come To will be a Literary Guild selection in March. Warren, 71, lives with his wife, writer Eleanor Clark, in a converted Connecticut barn. Author of All the King's Men, and the only writer to win Pulitzer Prizes for both poetry and fiction, the Kentucky-born Warren has created a hero from the rural South, a womanizing classics scholar who becomes world-famous. Warren says he got the idea in France in 1971. "I began to dream it," he says. "Whole scenes came to me."

AAfter 28 years in Hollywood, actor Tony Curtis has cast himself in the role of a novelist. His first book, Kid Andrew Cody and Julie Sparrow, will be out in March. Of the title characters, both men, Cody becomes a Western movie star and Sparrow a gangster. Doubleday says the book, which opens in 1924 and continues through the '60s, has "some of the finest descriptions of making movies that any of us is likely to read." And why not? Curtis, 51 (above, with wife Leslie), has played in 65 films. Already at work on a second novel about three women who come to Hollywood during World War II, Curtis says, "I love writing. I love playing God and controlling the actions of my characters. It isn't like in movies where I'm just a hired hand."

They were divorced in 1970. Now 62, Gary has written his 22nd book, Your Ticket Is No Longer Valid. The hero is a 59-year-old industrialist with problems, one of them the energy crisis which is hurting business. When he falls in love with a 23-year-old beauty, impotence drives him to consider suicide. Already a best-seller in France, it will be published here in April. "Let us say that I attach great importance to the sexual act," Gary explained in Paris. "But I believe that sexuality at any price is a perversion. I wrote a love novel."

Due in May, it consists of interviews with such notables as Mao Tse-tung, Golda Meir, Prince Charles and Mamie Eisenhower (and the not so well-known Mrs. Billy Graham). "They are all very different," says Julie, "but all had ideals that guided their lives." In January Julie and husband David, who live in both Gettysburg and Manhattan, will head for Abilene, Kans. to do research for his book on Grandpa Ike.

<John Cheever, 64, and his wife, Mary, live in Ossining, N.Y., the home of Sing Sing prison. Cheever, who once preferred " a very secluded, boozy life in the woods," has stopped drinking and is accepting lecture invitations. At home, he says, "If I'm not writing or reading I skate, swim, visit, walk with my dogs and eat." In March admirers of Cheever's Wapshot family novels and Bullet Park can visit another affluent (and agonized) family in suburbia. It is the dark tale of a dope-addicted head of household named Farragut who commits murder and is sent to a prison like Sing Sing. Falconer is the name of the place and the book.

Dear Debbera, I want to tell you about my study. At the end of last year 1 was announced as best student.

My school report is very satisfactory. I got a present from school. How about you, Debbera?

Are you still studying? I hope you are successful in your studies. I stop my letter now. I give you all my love. From your sponsored child,

Dear Tristaca, [ was so pleased to get your letter. That's quite an honor to be first in your class. I'm very proud of you. I'm still teaching, but the only classes I'm taking now are ballet. Did you get all the postcards I sent? It was a great trip. I'm looking forward to the holidays now —hope to do a lot of skiing this winter. Take care now and write soon. „ ,, Debbera

Tristaca

P.S. I love you.

Tristaca and Debbera, though they've never even met, share a very special love. Tristaca lived in extreme poverty. Her mother has tried to support her family herself, but she can only get menial jobs that pay almost nothing.

Tristaca was a girl without any hopes, without any dreams. Then Debbera Drake came into her life.

Debbera sponsors her through the Christian Children's Fund for $15 a month. Her money gives Tristaca food and clothing and a chance to go to school. It gives her hopes and dreams once more.

You can give a child hope. Become a sponsor. You needn't send any money now—you can "meet" the child assigned to your care first. Just mail the coupon. You'll receive the child's photograph and background information. If you wish to sponsor the child, simply send in your first monthly check or money order for $15 within 10 days. If not, return the photo and other materials so we may ask someone else to help.

We have thousands of children like Tristaca on our waiting list right now who desperately need sponsors. Let one of them share something special with you. Love.

For the love of a hungry child.

PUNCH CARDS SUPPLANT DANCE CARDSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;AN EXPERT HELPS VERY IMPORTANT SINGLES MINGLE Any year in which Taylor and Burton both get married (and not to each other) is probably hopeful, but by and large, the Bicentennial did not deliver on the constitutional resolve to "insure domestic tranquillity." 1976 put asunder Henry and Cristina Ford, John and Vickie Bench and Burt Bacharach and Angle Dickinson.

Mating and rematching isn 't all that

easy for the rich and famous. Barbara Walters or Jacqueline Onassis, as much as they might enjoy it, can hardly go to a singles weekend at Grossinger's. So to aid some celeb lonelyhearts who might be too bashful themselves, PEOPLE enlisted Mike O'Harro, 37, Washington, D.C.'s former "singles king," founder of the country's second oldest computer dating oper-

Joe's passing fancy?

Princess Caroline

This could be a m a t c h

made in nightclubs. Both Joe Namath and Princess Caroline love parties and all kinds of sports. He's 33 but has always liked younger women. (She's 19.) She might prefer an athlete to European playboys. Caroline, an Aquarius, is perfect for a Gemini like Joe. Monaco is an ideal place for him to retire to. It has beautiful women, the casino and is a great tax shelter. I don't know what Caroline's mother might think of the match, but remember, both she and Joe's mom are from Pennsylvania.

ation and now the city's leading disco owner. O'Harro designed a program for Very Important Singles based on age, occupation, hobbies, marital history, et al. The printout from the Batt Bates Data Center yielded some fateful match-ups amid a few tilts (Tammy Wynette and Halston?). Here are the most promising choices, with O'Harro's interpretations.

Diane w a s made for Misha

AActress Diane Keaton likes small cute men with brains and a good sense of humor, but the computer bears out the case that she and Woody Allen should never have matched up. (Likewise Woody and Louise Lasser.)

But I'm so enthusiastic about Diane and Mikhail Baryshnikov, I'd like to introduce them myself. They're both art lovers. He's one of the greatest ballet dancers ever, and she's a balletomane who once studied with Martha Graham. She feeds on seeds, nuts and rai-, sins and he's a steak man, but in every other sense they are perfect.

Jackie O could help Governor No

Will Gelsey break Elton's heart?

AEIton John has confessed his bisexu-

ality, and a ballerina like Gelsey Kirkland would be more understanding than most women. They have a lot in common. Both like costumes, and Elton dances too. He's 29 and she's 22, a nice age difference. They're introverts, except when performing. But they may have problems together.

She's independent and may not like Elton's life-style or his music. I think Elton, being a bit of a strange duck, would accept and admire this about Gelsey.

AJackie Onassis and Jerry Brown could start a new political dynasty. Even though she's older than he [47 to his 38], not many men are right for her. They're both Democrats and Catholics.

You don't see Jerry often in nightclubs, but his Zen may be what Jackie needs. Maybe she could give up some of her chic interests and become a little more earthy. Maybe she could get him to stop sleeping on the floor and move into the California governor's mansion. They'll either be a smash relationship or not be able to stand each other.

Phyllis George & the Fonz sit on it

<Henry Winkler and Phyllis G e o r g e are

destined for each other. Their ages are rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he's 30 and she's 27. She's two inches taller than he is, but that shouldn't faze the Fonz. I assume like most Scorpios he has a strong sex drive and a big ego, which someone of Phyllis' temperament and loyalty would build up. So what if she kes snowskiing while he likes waterskiing? ABC could forgive him for dating a CBS sportscaster. I urge them to hurry up and get introduced.

Erica's Jongian Analysis for Woody: Eat!

Hamiirs c a m e l is Warren Beatty AThey seem unlikely, but the computer feels it's time for Dorothy Hamill to get involved with a strong macho individual. She skates, and Warren's been on thin ice with women all his life. Dorothy has been pushing all her 20 years, but she wants to have some fun now, and Warren, 38, could help her. However, men like Warren born under the sign of Aries tend to be unfaithful. Only a strong Leo like Dorothy could hold him.

ABoth Woody Allen and Erica Jong laugh

at their own foiblesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he in his movies and comic strip, she in books like Fear of Flying. They've both been married twice and are liberal New Yorkers. Erica is into yoga and Chinese cooking and could put some weight on Woody.

She's an Aries, which makes her talented and restless. Woody's a Sagittarius and freedom-loving and would understand the tendency people like her have occasionally to flirt.

Lots of good books would come out of this match.

Chrissie can't foot fault the Big Bird

Anchors h a v e flukes, but is Burt Barbara's?

ABarbara Walters is insecure and n e e d s s o m e o n e

Achris Evert likes sports stars but, after Jimmy Connors, she needs someone out of tennis. Mark Fidrych is her man. They're both 22 and love to dance in discos. She's a loyal Sagittarius and would understand Mark's pitching eccentricities like talking to the ball. Leo men are traditionally self-centered, but Chris has had a lot of experience with that type. The best thing is that, unlike Jimmy's mom, Mark's mother, who lives in Massachusetts while he plays in Detroit, would never meddle in her son's affairs.

supportive. Underneath that head of brains beats a real woman's heart. Burt Reynolds is perfect.

He likes older womenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he's 40 and she's 45â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and understands their mystique and charm. They've both been married before. Barbara likes magnetic men. And he'll be ready to settle down with her after dating people like Tammy Wynette and Sally Fields. He'll give Barbara security and company if her ratings don't hold up.

Gloria, in excelsis, w i t h . . . T o m Snyder?

>What a great love affair this would be!

Tom Snyder and Gloria Steinem are ambitious, tough and independent media people. She's older than he is [they're 42 and 40] but looks younger than her age. He has a daughter by his estranged wife and should be simpatico with women's lib. A thing with Gloria might give him a renewed interest in New York and change his plans to return to California. But she's an Aries, and he's a Taurus, and I don't advise marriage.

CHUCK MANGIONE T think ofmusic as being with some you love. And how you want to be with them.

Thats what it's all about'.'

Swim teams do it to psyche up for competition. High school and college marching bands do it at halftime. Even famed director Francis Ford Coppola does it. What they all do is play and enjoy the music of composer, arranger and multiinstrumentalist Chuck .Mangione (pronounced Man-gee-oh-nee).

N o m i n a t e d for six G r a m m y Awards for his previous albums, Mangione comments on his remarkable success, "It's a dream for me. I never tried to think of a formula to be successful!' Recently reviewed as "an uncommonly gifted and original composer" Mangione talks about his early life: "My dad owned a grocery store in Rochester, New York, and in the evenings after the store was closed he used to take my brother Gap and me to all the jazz clubs in town. I don't know how he did it, but everyone always ended up back at our house eating spaghetti, jamming, and having a good time!'

Among the musicians who shared the hospitality of the Mangione family was the legendary Dizzy Gillespie who gave Chuck a trumpet at 13. He considers Gillespie to be his "musical father." Learning piano at 8 and trumpet at 10, Mangione grew up to play with one of his boyhood idols, Art Blakey. And to perform with such jazz notables as Maynard Ferguson, Keith Jarrett, and Chick Corea.

In 1970. while serving as Director of the Jazz Ensemble for the prestigious E a s t m a n School of Music in Rochester. Mangione recorded his classic "Friends and Love" album with the R o c h e s t e r P h i l h a r m o n i c Orchestra. He received his first Grammy Award nomination for "Friends and Love" and its huge sales launched him as a major contemporary artist. Mangiones philosProduced by Chuck Mangione

ophy as a man and a musician has no doubt contributed to his growing success: "To make people feel good listening to what you do and what you believe in without compromising your music. Wow! You're going to have a good time."

Mangione obviously had the time of his life on his newest A&M album, "Main Squeeze!' Recorded in New York with some of the best jazz, rock and R&B session men in the world, "Main Squeeze" features the expressive g e n i u s of Mangione on f lugelhorn and spotlights his incredible talent as a composer and arranger. It is an album that is brilliant in its craftsmanship, imagination, and ability to evoke feelings. Perhaps a review of a cent Mangione concert best sums up what is in store for t h e l i s t e n e r of " M a i n Squeeze": "The listener could easily ask f o r ^ more, but would^- { V find it difficult CiSrsWs* to ask ^& &/<%!> better." something

Here is a super year-end version of the PEOPLE Puzzle. The names of 40 people who were prominent in 1976 are hidden in the maze of letters. How many can you find by consulting the brief clues? The names read forward, backward, up, down or diagonally, are always in a straight line and never skip letters. We have started you off by circling BUTZ, the answer to 1 in the diagram. The names may overlap and letters may be used more than once, but not all of the letters will be used. Super sleuths should be able to identify 30 or more names. Answers in the Jan. 10 issue.

Whyisnt More white?

Because More is burnished brown. To make its longer, leaner design look as good as it tastes.

And when it comes to the taste of More, you can enjoy its smooth mildness longer.

FILTER: 22 mg. "tar", 1.6 mg. nicotine, MENTHOL 22 mg."tar", 1.7 mg. nicotine, av. per cigarette, FTC Report AUG. 76.

Because More burns slower.

So More doesn't end with just good looks. There's lots of good taste as well. It's like any really good cigarette.

Only it's More.
