Senate vote-counters on both sides of the issue agree that Baker's vote could be the deciding factor in the hard- w r w I Ji Howard Baker 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. g Dressing up is not what ga JR £ it use to be r’’ jbHßP'.' *■"' \ -i kxs L b |mM Wffli|. if wb^ >* : «• The boys and young men are at least dressing up again! | Boys & Stadente"] Clothing £^? g ffl^P F I | 2nd Floor , • Lower Level by Calvin Sizes 8-12 from from ’95 00 ’55 00 Regular & Longs Sizes 13-20 Q- $ L from SIZeS 3642 5? t* ’6s°° gK Regulars & Slims - ng — fijX SS or Layaway for fought debate over the 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.” mF zbl 1 "vliiAl Jane Fonda No longer second “I’m going to play myself so that people can easily relate to me,” says Cheryl Ladd, Charlie’s newest angel.

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.” IB" * \ fl Alex Karras 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.

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 Chrystie Jenner
