LOS ANGELES ? Two Med TV comedy
series have soured Tom Arnold on
the small screen.
"Until I got kicked off television, I
had no idea how big the movies are
and how important the movies are
compared to the little television," the
ex-husband of caustic comedy queen
Roseanne told TVs "Extra" during an
interview for broadcast Thursday.
Arnold starred in the series "The
Jackie Thomas Show" and "l om," both
of which quickly faded.
Since then, his movie credits have
included "True Lies" and "Nine Months"
and he also stars in the upcoming films
"The Stupids," "Big Bully," "Carpool"
and "The Honeymooners," in which
he plays Ralph Kramden.
Now he wants to try raising a family
with new wife, Julie Champnella.
"I think I'm mature enough for it,
maybe," the 37-year-old Arnold said.
Just another wannabe
MADISON, N.J. ? Gerald Ford says
all he really wanted to be was speaker
of the House, not president.
"I envy Newt Gingrich," the former
president said during a speech Tuesday
night at Drew University.
Ford, 81, was the minority leader
of the House when President Nixon
picked him to replace Vice President
Spiro T. Agnew, who resigned in 1973.
Ford became president when Nixon
resigned the following year.
He said he supports most of the
Contract with America championed
by Gingrich, with the exception of a
balanced budget amendment and term
limits.
"After all, I got elected 13 times,"
he said.
Good-bye, bow-tie
BOCA RATON, Fla. ? Irving R.
Levine, the professorial TV journalist
with the dry, measured delivery and
trademark bow ties, is retiring from
NBC after nearly half a century.
Levine is stepping down Nov. 1 and
becoming dean of international studies
at Lynn University, a school with
an enrollment of 2,000 students, the
university said Wednesday.
Levine has been a presence at NBC
since 1950 when he began covering
the Korean War. He became the network's
full-time economics correspondent
in 1971 and has done weekly commentaries
on CNBC for the last 5 1/2
years.

Trump card
NEW YORK ? Even when he's losing
money, developer Donald Trump
is no piker. He says he measures red
ink in the billions.
He has previously said he was in
no danger of going under financially
during the real estate market crash
of 1991. But he amended that during
a luncheon speech Tuesday, the New
York Post reported.
He recalled once walking down Fifth
Avenue with Maria Maples, now his
wife, and seeing a panhandler.
"That man's worth $900 million
more than I am," he said he told her.
He later said the crash really
dropped him from a net worth of $8
billion or so to a negative worth of perhaps
$3 billion.
Trump spoke while being honored
by the Forum Club for "the comeback
of the decade."
Travellin' Knight
London?Cliff Richard, Britain's most
durable rocker, received a knighthood
from Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday?and
said he was glad it wasn't
just for singing.
It's no great shakes being a rock
star, although I love it myself," said
the 55-year-old new Sir Cliff.
His award cites his charity work
and that, he said, "lifts it above what
I do for a living."
Richard, who says he's been celibate
since an affair with a guitarist's
wife 30 years ago, has had 115 hits
since the 1950s, including "Bachelor
Boy," "Travellin' Light," and "I Love
You."
Baby blues?
WASHINGTON ? Cutesy baby outfits
are nice, but what expectant mothers
really need at their baby showers
are health and safety tips, first lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday.
Mrs. Clinton, who is writing a parenting
book, told an audience of mothers
and expectant mothers that some
people question the need for her book,
claiming parents already know what
to do.
"And I said, Well, I didn't.' I didn't
get an instruction manual when my
daughter was born. Much of it was trial
by error and, luckily, I had family
and friends and other people who were
there for me telling me what I needed
to do to keep my baby safe and
healthy," she said.

TAMARA LAW Staff Writer
For the fifth year in a row, the
South Carolina State Museum Foundation
will be putting on the Governor's
Celebration of South Carolina,
a night of blues and jazz featuring local
and nationally known performers.
The celebration, a fundraiser to
support exhibits at the museum, will
be held Friday, October 27 from 8 pm.midnight.
"We wanted to put on a celebration
to reflect South Carolina's culture,"
said Tut Hutchinson, director
of media relations for the S.C. State
Museum. "The idea for the foundation
was to put on a fundraiser for
money for exhibits."
Over the years the celebration has
featured many different musical styles,
from country to the state dance, the
shag. This time the foundation decided
to feature jazz and blues again.
Featured performers for the event
include South Carolina natives Drink
Small, Juke Joint Johnny, Doctor
Dixon and, new to the celebration,

RALEIGH ?Scientists at North Carolina
State University hope to learn
more about prehistory through experiments
on three rare dinosaur eggs
with fully preserved embryos.
"Everything is there to produce a
dinosaur," said Dale Russell, a paleontologist
with N.C. State and the
North Carolina Museum of Natural
Science.
Preliminary tests on shell and bone
fragments of the 75-million-year-old
eggs already have revealed atmospheric
oxygen from the Cretaceous
Period, according to William Showers,
a geochemist with the school's
Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric
Sciences.
The eggs were unearthed several
years ago in a Chinese valley southwest
of Beijing. They were loaned to
the university by a British collector.
"The embryos are certainly the
most well preserved ever found," Showers
said at a news conference Wednesday.
Fewer than 10 eggs with fully
formed dinosaur embryos have been
discovered worldwide, Russell said.
He does not know where the others

"It is rare ? extremely rare ? to of

he said.
By studying the embryos' teeth av
and bones, Russell was able to clas- eg
sify the eggs as those of therizinosaurus, is<

said Patty Cooper, executive vice president
of the State Museum Foundation,
which is putting on the event.
"It's a night no music lover will
want to miss. The Governor's Celebration
has become a tradition to many
throughout the state, and people call
as to find out when it's being held so
they can mark their calendars." '
To complement the jazz and blues,
the museum will exhibit the artwork
if Florence, S.C., native William H.
Johnson.
"Well have music in the art gallery
as well, where the Bishopville Blues
Doctor, Drink Small, will hold court,
and the jazz of Skipp Pearson will be
reflected in some of the paintings
by...William H. Johnson," Cooper said.
We're lucky to have an important retrospective
of works by this late, internationally
acclaimed artist in our
art gallery, and we hope people will
enjoy the jitterbuggers and other paintings
as they listen to the great music
that inspired them."
All four floors of the museum will
be open for tours, and snacks and
drinks will be sold. The event has been
very popular among South Carolini
ans, ana event organizers expect a
:rowd this year.
Tickets for the event cost $15 in
advance and $20 at the door. They are
available at all Capital Ticket outlets
and at the museum at 310 Gervais

The scientists also hope to learn
low modern animals may respond to
he Earth's changing environment.
Along with the dinosaur eggs the
jroup is studying the physiology of
jstriches, alligators, kangaroos, eleihants
and bears, said Michael
itoskopf of the N.C. State College of
Veterinary Medicine.
"By studying living animals with
lifferent life styles and adaptations
or surviving the extremes of their environments,
we can make comparsons
with what we find in dinosaurs,"
itoskopf said.
The eggs eventually will be showased
at the new North Carolina State
