Context, context, context......he also admired Jesus, I'll bet that sends you running to the hills. LOL The context was power. s-t.com In the summer of 1992 Mr. Schwarzeneger won a libel suit against Ms. Leigh, not regarding her book but a 1988 article she helped write for the British tabloid News of the World that included other allegations. Part of that settlement was an apology from Ms. Leigh, which read, "Mr. Schwarzenegger has never espoused Nazi or anti-Semitic views, has never been an admirer of Hitler's evil regime, and he did not admire or approve of his father's alleged conduct." In an interview last summer, Mr. Butler did not dispute Ms. Leigh's reporting about Mr. Schwarzenegger's Hitler remark except to say that "the context was power." In the "Pumping Iron" interview in question (an outtake that was never included in the film), Mr. Butler recalls that Mr. Schwarzenegger "said he admired Jesus Christ for the same reason. He was basically saying that he admired famous people and that he wanted to be famous as well." Why would Arnold want to flirt with this whole magilla by making "With Wings as Eagles"? Perhaps he knows he can't go on forever playing stoic killing machines ("Eraser") or befuddled regular-guy schmoes ("Jingle All the Way") -- both formulas are getting tired. Are directors avoiding "Eagles" because of a reluctance about "good German" movies (which already have broken ground with "Das Boot" and "The Young Lions") or because of the potential boondoggle over Mr. Schwarzenegger's brief? Either way, Mr. Schwarzenegger himself appears to be nurturing second thoughts. Mr. Singer was careful to point out that his client "is not committed to making this film." -Top- -Home- -Digest- -Index-

L.A. Times Touts Arnold Grope Report, Buried Clinton Assault News The Los Angeles Times decided Thursday that allegations from six women claiming that California gubernatorial front-runner Arnold Schwarzenegger groped them was front-page news. But four years ago the paper could barely bring itself to report a far more serious rape accusation against then-President Bill Clinton – and later banned mention of the episode from its editorial page. The Times dived right into the Schwarzenegger allegations, some decades old, reporting in often disgusting detail alleged comments and physical interaction between the former action star and several women who say they were left humiliated but not injured. But when the Times covered Juanita Broaddrick's account of a brutal sexual attack that she said left her bruised and bleeding, the paper led with denials from Clinton's lawyer. Even then, Los Angelenos had to turn to page 16 to read about the bombshell development, which began: "President Clinton's spokesman and his personal attorney on Friday denied a published account in which an Arkansas woman, Juanita Broaddrick, contends she was sexually assaulted by Clinton 20 years ago while he was the state's attorney general." A denial issued by Schwarzenegger's spokesman, however, didn't appear till the 10th paragraph of today's report. Two years after the Broaddrick story exploded, the L.A. Times had ceased downplaying the news – and instead decided to censor it altogether from a column by George Will. "It is reasonable to believe that [Clinton] was a rapist 15 years before becoming president," Will wrote, assessing Clinton's merit as president. A few days later the L.A. Times ran a letter from Will complaining about the censorship.
