Here's some real news sans any inkling of existentialism, Searching in Vain:
Oh My. Arnold's Ex Writes Tell-All Book
The former girlfriend
of California
gubernatorial hopeful
Arnold
Schwarzenegger has
written a tell-all
memoir detailing their
five-year relationship
that took place
between 1969 and
1974, reports Reuters.
Titled "Surviving
Arnold," the book by
Barbara Outland Baker, who is now a professor
of English at a community college in California,
is billed as an insider's account of Arnold's early
years.
The two actors: How does Arnold compare to
Ronald Reagan? Check out this fun and
interactive comparison that includes an
amazing shot of Arnold as a young body
builder.
There's just one problem: Barbara Outland
Baker still needs a publisher. Her agent, Paul
Levine, is working on that. He told Reuters,
"She's been writing it for years, but obviously
now is an opportune time to try to sell it. There
are lots of insights and never-before-told things
about Arnold, and there are over 100
never-before published photographs of Arnold
during that time." The two met at a Santa Monica
restaurant at which Barbara was working while
she attended college. Eventually, they moved in
together.

When Arnold wrote his own memoir, "Arnold:
The Education of a Bodybuilder," way back in
1977 (the same year he met Maria Shriver), he
warmly described Barbara Outland. He said his
friends teased him about Barbara, saying
"Arnold's in love." In his memoir, Arnold blamed
their break-up on his own ambition. "Basically it
came down to this. She was a well-balanced
woman who wanted an ordinary, solid life, and I
was not a well-balanced man and hated the very
idea of ordinary life. For me life is continuously
being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply
to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up,
to achieve, to conquer." But timing is everything
and even if book agent Levine manages to
peddle the manuscript to a publisher, it's
unlikely it would be on bookstore shelves before
the October 7 special election in California
recalling Gov. Gray Davis. On the other hand, if
Schwarzenegger wins the election, this book
could become a bestseller.
