Robert Redford is a mass of
contradictions: sex symbol,
family man, skier, farmer,
consumer advocate.
“He's not an actor who acts
like he looks,’’ says Barbara
Streisand, who co-starred
with Redford in “The Way We
Were.” ‘‘He always has
something going on behind his
eyes. And he’s not just an ac
tor, you know. He’s an in
telligent, concerned human
being, so that whatever you
see has more layers un
derneath.”
Redford’s 18-year marriage
to wife Lola is a surprise to
those familiar with the
private lives of Hollywood
superstars. Redford says, in
The Saturday Evening Post:
“There have been very few
people in my life who have
always told me the truth. Lola
does. I can rely on her for
ideas, support, and criticism.
We challenge and stimulate
each other.”
McCarthy not talking
The man who could resolve
one of the great baseball con
troversies of all time refuses
to do so. Joe McCarthy, who
managed both Joe Dimaggio
and Ted Williams, won’t say
which player was better.
In a soon-to-be-released
study of baseball managers,
“The Man In The Dugout,” by
Frank Honig (Follett), the 90-
year-old McCarthy says “How
the hell are you going to
answer a question like that?
Some people thought I might
not get along with Williams. I
don’t know where they got

Divine versatility
Bette Midler may well be
the most versatile star of the
’7os. With two albums ready
for release, a TV special
scheduled for the fall, three
movie contracts with Colum
bia, and a possible lead in the
New York City Ballet’s
production of “The Seven
Deadly Sins” — it’s getting
harder and harder to define
just what sort of performer
she is.
“I’m very dedicated to my
work,” says Midler in an in
terview in Stereo Review. “I
really LOVE my work. I look
at pictures and films and
other performers — anything
to get ideas. I try constantly
to keep my mind going.”
Despite her fascination with
other performers, Midler’s
style is uniquely her own. “All
my records have at
mosphere,” says the Divine

PRINCESS GRACE of Monaco says “If women are not
presented as real in today’s films, part of the blame should
be placed on Women’s Liberation, it has demystified
women.” In an interview in Us magazine, the former
sweetheart of the American screen claims “Women’s
natural role is to be a pillar of the family. It’s their
physiological job. They should make themselves in
teresting for their families. Women only work to get off the
book and avoid their responsibilities.”

that idea from. Williams was
no problem. Os course I only
gave him one order — hit. No
insubordination there. He
hit.”
And Dimaggio? “Good team
man, great hustler, never
gave the manager any
headaches. Joe had perfect
judgement on a ball field,
whether it was in the field or
running the bases. He almost
never made a mistake.”
McCarthy, who now makes
his home outside of Buffalo,
N.Y., piloted the Chicago
Cubs from 1926-30, the New
York Yankees from 1931-46
and the Boston Red Sox from
1948-50. He won seven world
championships with the
Yankees — four of them con
secutively — and was elected
to the Hall of Fame in 1957,
even though he never played a
single game in the major
leagues.
McCarthy says he still gets
mail. “From California, Tex
as, Ohio, and all over. Wan
ting autographs. And a lot of
them from kids. You’d be sur
prised. One kid, he wrote and
said he's nine years old and
has been a fan of mine all his
life. Can you imagine that? All
his life.”
on, you know it’s me. Because
there ain’t nobody else in the
world who’s gonna make
records like that — nobody
makes them. They’re either
not interested or they don’t
know how.”

What price ulcers?
Women are finally making
it in the business world, judg
ing by the recent balancing
out of the male-to-female ul
cer ratio. In the past three
decades, women have closed
in on the male 20-to-l lead and
are now trailing at a modest 2-
to-1.
Tension aside, women are
still seriously lagging behind
in the most important male
stronghold — the salary.
Statistics in Money magazine
show women earn only 59 per
cent of what men earn.

clearly the villain, “women
themselves are directly
responsible for about one
quarter of the problem,” says
career counselor Barbara
Boyle Sullivan of Boyle-
Kirkman Associates, a New
York management consulting
firm.
“Many women don’t know
how to sell themselves, to set
a price on themselves,” she
explains. “They avoid politics
as dirty, not realizing that it is
simply a strategy; they don’t
recognize opportunity when it
comes along.”
Escapee, companion nabbed
at Minnesota roadblock
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mor
ris L. Johnson of Indianapolis
had his third escape from cus
tody end Wednesday when Fpi
agents arrested him and a fe
male companion in the Min
neapolis suburb of Burnsville.
FBI agent Floyd Hannon of
Indianapolis said Johns and
Vickie Groves, 32, of In
dianapolis were arrested after
crashing into a blockade.
David Flanders, an FBI agent
in Minneapolis, said the two
were arrested without incident.
He said the two were
outnumbered by about 20-1 at
the time of their capture.

— Griffin Daily News Thursday, May 12,1977
Johnson will be charged with
escape from prison, according
to Flanders. Kinard P. Foster,
an assistant U.S. attorney, said
Miss Groves would be charged
with harboring a fugitive.
Johnson was found guilty of
two Georgia bank robberies in
1974 after being paroled from a
23-year Indiana sentence for the
same crime. He twice escaped
from the Federal Penitentiary
at Atlanta. His last escape took
place on Nov. 8 in Selma, Ala.,
where he was to testify in a
bank robbery trial. He and five
other inmates sawed their way
1 to freedom with a hacksaw in
1 that escape.
