NO-NUKES NEWMAN PUTS UP HIS DUKES

"I'm me," says Paul Newman, flashing a sardine mickle to his stroops on a soundstage at Universal Studios. "One of the duped and manipulated" Wearing a white tee-shirt and a baseball cap, Newman his newly-formed racing team scheduled to defeat at the 1983 India 500 race, Newman is here to tape a commercial for the Nuclear Free Movement. Thee Newman meets Newman to meet the press — anti-nails and his upcoming movie, *The Verdict*
When Newman comes onto the soundstage, General William Fairbairn, retired, is taking into a camera, telling us all that nuclear escalation is madness. He's not an expert actor, and he's called upon to repeat his lines so many times the General has written in them. He is just like training recruits — Hey, you knucklehead." He is referring to himself.
Newman confers briefly with Lear.
He wants it made perfectly clear that General Wainwright Fairbairn, retired, a former military man.
Newman has followed his convictions away from Hollywood Last year he served as a delegate to the United Nations Conference on Disarmament and this year he is devoting much of his free time to that same cause. He also spoke at a memorial of his name, his movies. He knows that he while talks arms, treats and alternatives, they're thinking about Bouch Cassidy and Hud, or they're looking at his slightly thinning hair, so he's well he'd held up, or they're trying not to seize into those famous blue eyes. He knows this and
For close to thirty years Paul Newman has proved himself to be the only an indispassible actor and bionic movie star, but an outspoken critic of the arts causes — all liberal, Newman who was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a one-time Quaker community, says he was raised to use his mind (that training took him to Kenyon College in Ohio and to Yale University for his
Universal Studios, a debt-free company rolling in money (much of it courtesy of $E.7.) is in incongruous touch with the movie studio. The studio is headed by Lew Wasserman, a powerful supporter of Reagan and the status quo. But the studio is also the home base of Emir Khalid. He is the most less powerful but nevertheless formulate producer, Norman Lear, an avid supporter of liberal causes. He has been a talented for this commercial, and his Lear who is calling the shots. Be sides as one executive put in money's money, the studio will rent

Newman is not a brilliant taker; he does not have the gift of gib to seduce the unwilling and he's the first to admit it. Even those who are too shy to deal with an on the anti-nike issue have been tripped up by his insistence that the United States and the Soviet Union are about equal in terms of rebellious reasons. The public reaction to Newman was haged and manipulated.
Civil defense in this country is an absurdity, he starts off, munching an apple, the only food he says he's eaten in almost eight hours. "I've been up since 6:50, he adds, afterwards," he exclaims. His voice calls off as if he'd rather think about something other than what he's talking about. When he picks up the conversation again, he speaks of trying to choose his words with care. "For one thing, civil defense requires a very cooperative environment. To evacuate a city takes at least seven days — is the enemy going to announce seven flights of bombs or helicopters to do Also, he adds, 'let you say you start to evacuate a city and the bus drivers who get out with the first load of people refuse to go back for them.'" The chief instructors take one run and then say 'Enough, I want to be safe.'
Newman is not native. Thirty years of political activism have taught him that nothing is final. "The freeze initiative," he says in response to a question about small steps and great issues, is not the answer. But it is a beginning SLC It will seven years later. In another both sides will build in another seven years! We have to create a climate where cooperation is possible."
Newman, who will be 58 in January, grew up in a time when movie heroes oblived by the rules. Tracy,

Mayer and Zahn, not about politics and not about lifelikes. It took Newman's generation to change all that. A couple of his competitor's did something just like that made their marks before Newman died — Marion Brando and James Dean. By the mid-Fifies they were well on their way to creating a new kind of political warlord—an unwanted —the antihero with a heart.
Nemanian's distort for Hollywood (encouraged by Brando and Dean) was not without justification. Jack Nicholson directed the movie, the actor's first film was a laughable Bible drama called The Silver Chiffon. It now Newman leaves back home.
Eventually he returned to Hollywood and the roles gut better. He did a fine job as the original Rocky — Rocky Graziano in Somebody Up There Likes Me — and scored more strongly in The Long Hot Summer than in *Billboard* stories by William Faulkner. Summer earned Newman his first Orcar nomination and brought him recognition as a sex symbol. As Pauline Kael put it, *Paul Newman* did more for removing a thin any actor from the stage, but this would later point out that the same could not be said of Robert Reinfeld).
Along the way, Newman became rich and famous. He爱裸身了 his children. He raised older children and married actress Joanne Woodward. Together they built a house in Woodbury.
—and together they made some terrible movies, such as Bally Round the Flag, Boys and a New Kind of Love (in which Newton actually makes towker Woods for him). For an actor in the 1960s, this was a surprising number of clunkers.
But when Newman was good and the material fit him, he had no rival. He excelled at creating a certain type
of character — ianocite, stoic play. He called that role to perfection in *The Hustler*, a taut, crackling drama where he traded pool shots with Minnie Manson and Faye Gleason) and learned about guts from Piper Laurie and George C. Scott; in *Hud*, where his musical, amoral cartman he has known stands as a landmark performance; and in *Cool Hand Luke*, which introduced “what we have here is a failure to communicate” to the American language. He is drawing to directing with a movie called *Rachel, Rachel*, starring Joanne Woodward as a thirty-five-year-old virgin looking for love. That certainly wasn’t the sort of subject matter any
He also made money with pictures like Hutch Gassley and the Sandance Infier. The Sting and the Toering Inters. He had a lot of time on the big screen, but the newman was able to awkward age, no longer quite able to get away with playing the young hero, but still too juiy to play the voice of wisdom. He had gone beyond. Being Richard McIntosh, yet ready to be Melly Douglas.
In the last three years he's made three controversial films that have made money and earned him per social honors. The first was *Fist Apple* the *Bronx*; about cops in the Bronx in a very wrong place — a kind of big screen Hill Street Blues. The film was uneven and damned by residents of the South Bronx as racist creations. He created a very sympathetic character, an over the hill cop still trying to do the right thing. Next came *Abence of Malice* in which Newman the son of a Mishna, was burned by journalists and women, but as crime Andrew Sarris pointed out, women accepted from Newman lines they'd not been accepted into the wood Newman earned his fifth Oscar nomination for *Malice*.
Newman is almost certain to get another Oscar nomination for the *Moonlight* series, but who has made such items as *Dog Day Afternoon* and *Prince of the City*, the Verdi drama deals with issues, morality, right and wrong. It was a good time to work on the fard, but he pulled out of the project due to “creative differences.” For a while, the role was actively sought by Newman, and he makes ages of 50 and 50. The main character
ter is the sort actors dream of playing: showy, multi-dimensional and ultimately heroic.
In The Verdict, Newman is Frank Galvin, a washed-up, alcoholic attorney who takes on a malpractice case in a Boston hospital firm in Boston, a reputable hospital run by the Catholic Church, public opinion, and even his own sense of humor.
"It's a story about the redemption of a human being," says Newman of The Verdict. "It's not an attack on the legal system or the Catholic Church or hospitals. Those institutions are springboards for the development of his character. They're metaphors for his obsessive obsession of valuable obstacles all around him."
The Verbist is a different sort of role for Newman. "He's a very interesting character for me because he isn't cool or collected. He's frightened. He's living on the edge and he's panicked. There are people who really do find their lives in a sham." The verbist also says that in some just continue to deprimate and some, like Galvin, can pick themselves up.
"Every person is vulnerable in certain ways, at certain times in their lives."
There are many ways in which Newman is not now vulnerable. he is not vulnerable when it comes to his career or his financial security. In college, he was a heavy drinker. Two years ago he only son, Scott died from an overdose of drugs. Newman is still coming to terms with that tragedy. He was teaching an act class and having a job at College when he got the news his son had died. He does not talk publicly about what happened, but he has poured money, time and intuition into the Scotia Newman Foundation, which he directed electronically at drug rehabilitation.
In the early Seventies Newman told a reporter, "Kids is a fantastic time to be young. In some ways they have changed, and in my generation did" they are less acquisitive, property no longer has such importance and they're less in
"Yet they have other things imposed on them that are farther than you can imagine, no longer clearly defined in black and white, good and bad. There's this acceleration of change, things moving fast enough it's enough to drive them all crazy."
Madness of one worm or another seems to be a recurring Newman concern. one he shares with his political issues. not personal ones.

Buddy Mangiono/KANANI KU Police Officer Kevin Johnson clocked the speed of passing traffic from his patrol car in front of Green Hall yesterday.
police radar.
James Denney, KU's director of police, said radar guns allowed police to clock speeders
"They're invaluable." Denney said. "With radar you don't have to pace speeders or clock them with a stopwatch."
PACING INVOLVES driving alongside a car clock its speed. That puts two cars barring the way for the driver.
And, Denny said. "A stopwatch is not really faction to violators. There are too many human factors."
Police have used radar for the last 30 years to detect and identify speeding motorists. But a dilemma has surfaced recently about the efficacy of radar and its use as evidence in court.
"I don't feel sorry for people who get caught by radar. It isn't fair to the rest of the community to be caught."
IN A 1978 speeding case in Florida, a Dade County judge refused to allow radar readings to be used.
Judge Alfred Nesbitt found that radar alone was too unreliable to sustain a speeding conviction. He dismissed 80 radar cases after the defense produced evidence that showed police radar clocking a tree at 84 mph and a house at 30 mph.
Nesbitt threw the cases out because of the
radar is highly accurate," Geneeker said. "And it is better than having a cigar-chopping sheriff tell you how far we were going."
The term radar comes from the phrase "radio detection and ranging." Radar guns operate on the Doppler effect by sending out a continuous radar beam with a specific modulation. The radar beam bounces off moving vehicles and back to an antenna.
Depending on the car's direction, the radar beam is bounced back either compressed or stretched. The car's speed is determined by the car's angle to the ground and the original beam and the bounced reflection.
Some states have set up stringent controls on the manufacturing of radar units and on the
Stationary radar units emit only one radar signal. Moving-mode radar emits a low radar signal that monitors the patrol car's speed and a high signal that calculates the target vehicle's speed. The patrol car's speed is subtracted from the target vehicle's speed and then displayed.
In a report written after the tests, the bureau failed to adopt any official standards, but it did make several recommendations that states have used when setting their standards.
IN 1977, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted tests in conjunction with the National Bureau of Standards on two different models of radar units commonly used in civilian traffic.

The Highway Patrol requires its officers to go through 50 hours of training before operating radar units. The officers are taught how to use the unit how to visually estimate the speed of vehicles.
"Regular officers have a considerable amount of training before we allow them to use radar,"
DENNEY SAID that all of KU's officers had been trained by a representative from Kustom Electronics, manufacturers of KU's only radar unit.
"I'm constantly amazed at police departments that get radar and don't train officers to use them."
Jerry Miller, customer services representative of Kustom Electronics of Chanute, one of the leaders in the manufacturers of radar units, said challenges to the radar had never been upheld by Kansas courts.
Neither Elliott nor Denney could recall any speeding cases successfully challenging radar's accuracy in Kansas. Each said his department's 30 percent above 60 percent in most trials involving radar.
