Tough stand on canal
The political future of
Senate Republican leader
Howard Baker appears inex

showdown over the Panama
Canal treaties.
Senate vote-counters on
both sides of the issue agree

Jane gets a new image
"It’s the first time I’ve been
given a role in which I’m
allowed to feel and express
friendship for another
woman,” says actress Jane
Fonda of her new film
“Julia.”
“Julia” is adapted from a
episode in Lillian Hellman’s
memoirs, “Pentimento.” It
traces, through flashbacks,
the passionate and enduring
friendship of two women,
played by Jane Fonda and
Vanessa Redgrave.
One of the reasons Fonda is
so happy with the role is that
for the first time she is allow
ed to play a serious woman —
an intellectual, who has an in
teresting, but nonsexual
relationship with a man. She
says she could never again
play a Barbarella, or make a
movie in which she must con
form to a Hollywood image.
Fortunately, Hollywood no
longer demands sexy roles
from her.

treaties. How he votes could
seriously affect his chances
for the Republican presiden
tial bid in 1980
Baker knows that people are
watching. “I’m not unaware
of them/’ he says, grinning.
"But I’m not afraid of them
either.’’
Baker is also aware that the
Panama Canal issue almost
cost Gerald Ford the nomina
tion last year. His aides say
he's received thousands of
letters about the canal in the
past few weeks, letters which
oppose the treaties by a ratio
of more than 100 to 1.
Baker stumped his home
state of Tennessee last month
and got a similar reaction.
"But I found that there are
more undecideds now than
there were before," he adds.
While Baker’s support of
the canal treaties could earn
him accolades as a far-sighted
statesman, it could also make
him very unpopular within his
own party. He insists,
however, that the only basis
for his decision will be
national security.
Says Fonda in Ms.
Magazine: “Serious
Hollywood films dare not ex
ploit women as they did in the
1950’s and 1960’5; it is no
longer the fahion.”

Karras pens his story
Dandy Don Meredith may
have pushed him out of the
broadcasting booth of ABC’s
Monday Night Football, but
Alex Karras has taken pen in
hand.
The result is “Even Big
Guys Cry,” Karras’ memoirs,
co-authored by Herb Gluck, to
be published next month by
Holt, Rinehart and Winston.
A superstar defense tackle
for the Detroit Lions for 13
seasons, Karras claims to
"tell all” about the gridiron
(including his suspension in
1963 for gambling), his film
career and what he really
thinks of Howard Cosell.
Says Cosell: “Alex Karras
is not your ordinary jock. He
is a thoughtful, deeply sen
sitive man with obvious
talents as an athlete and as a
humanist.”
Nixon’s still not the one
Former President Nixon
may have garnered a fat
paycheck for his televised in
terviews in May with David
Frost, but the programs ac
complished little in the pop
ularity department.
A nationwide poll by
Marketing and Opinion
Research's Bill Hamilton
shows only 11 per cent of
Americans have a positive
feeling toward the ex-
pants, baseball caps and
visors. Then, when I dress
up in gowns, it’ll be an in
teresting change.”
Cheryl, who is married to
actor Alan Ladd’s son
David, is a veteran of TV
walk-ons. “I had seven
years of TV things you’d
forget as soon as you saw
them,” she says in US
magazine. “Then
something happened that
crushed me completely; it
was slit-your-wrist time. I
wanted desperately to play
the daughter in the ‘Fami
ly’ series. After seven days
of readings in the
producer’s office, it came
down to just me and
Meredith Baxter-Birney.
God! Then she got it. I wish
her well, but I can tell you,
I was heartbroken.
“So you can imagine how I
felt when the same
producer, Aaron Spelling,
told me I’d got the part in
‘Charlie’s Angels’ out of
scorecf other girls, I went
crazy.”

president, and more than four
out of five of them have a
lower opinion of him after the
program than before.
The first interview drew
very high ratings — especially
considering it was not carried
by any of the three major
networks — but the poll found
that three out of five viewers
looked elsewhere before the
five-part series was com
pleted.

done it after the Beatles,”
says Paul McCartney, “if any
of the Beatles could have had
the strength to actually do
something else — because it’s
a hell of a thing when you’ve
been in one group all your life
— I would have bet you then
there was no chance of getting
Wings going.”
But the success of Wings
would have proven the ex-
Beatle wrong, what with such
highly acclaimed albums as
“Wings At The Speed of
Sound,” and “Wings Over
America.”
Says McCartney in Rolling
Stone of their newest album:
“We’re not giving ourselves
any deadline. We’re not even
worried about having it out by
the end of the year. We’d like
to take it really easy.”
Wants to tell truth
“I don’t want this to sound
cocky, but we have the world
by the tail,” says Chrystie
Jenner, wife of Olympic
decathlon winner Bruce
Jenner. “Bruce and I have a
terrific relationship and we’re
more solid than ever.”
But she says it wasn’t
always so. In her soon-to-be
published memoirs, “I Am
Chrystie,” she reveals that
the four-and-a-half year
marriage almost ended more
than once. She also talks about
how close she came to a ner
vous breakdown at one point,
and the psychotherapy and
personal growth she un
derwent while Jenner trained
for the Montreal games.
Says Chrystie in Us
magazine about her book: “At
one point 1 said. Oh, Chrystie,
you said too much,’ and
almost edited some material
out. That was the part that
was the most honest
