Arnold, he is not such a good speller ---- Article content In the late seventies, Oui published some interesting articles, including "Is this the man who ate Michael Rockefeller?" (April 1977) by Lorne Blair (lately famous for the Ring of Fire documentaries), beginning with a photograph of a grinning New Guinea native, told by the intrepid anthropologist/reporter who journeyed to New Guinea, interviewed people who had known Michael Rockefeller, then ventured into the jungle and talked to members of the tribe from whom Rockefeller had bought native art artifacts, including totem poles. In the end, he found a man who claimed he had eaten the unfortunate collector. Oui also hosted several reportages about Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) activity, like the article "CIA vs. USA – The Agency's Plot to Take Over America" by Philip Agee, about an alleged Operation PBPrime, whose leaders were the top four men in the Central Intelligence Agency and whose target was the control of the U.S. government. In a more humorous vein, Oui also published the essay "The 3 Most Important Things in Life"[5] by Harlan Ellison in its November 1978 issue. The three things in question were sex, violence and labor relations, each illustrated by anecdotes from Ellison's life. The sex anecdote involved a less-than-successful assignation with a young woman; the violence anecdote was about witnessing a murder in a movie theater during a screening of Save the Tiger; and the labor relations anecdote was Ellison's version of the story of his being fired after only one morning at The Walt Disney Company for jokingly suggesting making a pornographic cartoon using the primary Disney characters. The piece has since been republished in Ellison's Stalking the Nightmare and Edgeworks 1. Oui published short fiction, including a story called "Rock Wars", which is arguably a precursor to the rock band in "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe", by Douglas Adams. A 1977 interview in the magazine of the then 29-year-old emerging actor Arnold Schwarzenegger on issues like sex, drugs, bodybuilding and homosexuality produced some embarrassment twenty five years later to candidate Schwarzenegger in the 2003 California gubernatorial campaign.[6] In Hulk Hogan's biography, he shared that he was convinced to appear in the magazine with 4 topless women for some additional publicity. He agreed to do so and didn't think much of it. A few years later, after Hulk Hogan had children, the photo's resurfaced in a supermarket tabloid. Hulk Hogan caught the headline while they were shopping and when they went to check out his wife saw the headline also and stormed out of the store leaving Hulk Hogan to walk home.
