Thousands attend as Studio 54 storms back
United Press International
NEW YORK — Studio 54, the
disco for the famous and their fans,
reopened Tuesday night with a
lavish light show simulating thun
der and lightning. Outside, hun
dreds of people waited in the real
thing.
The club, which closed a year
ago after its former owners
pleaded guilty to evading taxes on
some $2.5 million in profits,
reopened to an invitation-only
celebration and drew many of the
pop culture celebrities that made
it famous.
Brooke Shields partied at a pri
vate affair thrown by Calvin Klein,
while tennis star Bjorn Borg
danced on the lower level along
with singer Paul Simon, actors
Jack Nicholson, Ryan O’Neal, Jac
queline Bisset and comedian John
Belushi.
The new Studio 54 features a
light show on screens that drop
down the sides of the disco. It can
also simulate a walk on the moon,
a red desert or an opera house.

said Mark Fleischman, one of the
club’s new owners. He and part
ner Jeffrey London sent 12,000 in
vitations for the reopening, but
could admit only about 3,000
people.
“Twelve-thousand people prob
ably tried to come,” Fleischman
said. “It’s very crowded outside. I
presume the people outside were
invited. As people leave, others
will get in.”
Fleischman said the club’s pre
vious owners, Steve Rubell and
Ian Schrager, were invited but did
not attend. Rubell and Schrager
recently finished serving federal
jail sentences at Maxwell Air
Force Base in Alabama, on tax
evasion charges. They were each
originally sentenced to three years
in jail, but their jail terms were
reduced.
Published reports have said that
Fleischman and London paid
Rubell and Schrager about $5 mil

man declined to say how much
was paid for the club.

CLEVELAND — The strict
bland diets traditionally pre
scribed for ulcer patients now may
be unnecessary because medica
tion has proved more efiective, a
Cleveland Clinic specialist says.
Dr. Bertram Fleshier, director
of the clinic’s gastrointestinal diag
nostic unit, said there apparently
is little basis for the popular belief
that diet plays a major role in ulcer
treatment.
Drugs — not diet — are the
effective therapy for healing
ulcers he said, and the develop
ment of new and even more pow
erful forms of medication to treat
the ailment is likely over the next
few years.
“The medical profession be
lieved and taught for 50 or 60 years
diet therapy was of great import
ance in the management of ulcer
disease,” Fleshier said. “Both
doctors and patients believed the
same thing.
“That’s certainly what we’ve
been drumming into the public
mind. But there really is very little
scientific support to say that is
right,” he said.
Fleshier, who has seen hun
dreds of ulcer patients during his
25 years in medicine, said no re
searcher has shown “that classic
diet therapy results in faster
healing.”
“Diet may be helpful in alleviat
ing symptoms, but the proof that it
plays a major role in healing
ulcers, or keeping them healed,
appears to be lacking,” Fleshier
said.
He said most gastric specialists
are abandoning traditional diet
therapy and concentrating ’
medication — especially a
ful new drug called Cimetii
that sharply reduces theamoiii
acid secreted by the stomach.
Through use of Cimetidine
other medications, healing
for ulcer patients now run a!
75 percent to 90 percentinsir
eight weeks, Fleshier said.
The overall incidence of
disease appears to have been
dining for the past few years,
"nolxidy has any sortofintel
explanation for that,” Flesi
said.

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Barry
Goldwater. Crusty, profane, hob
bled by an ailing hip, conservative
guru to a generation of New Right
ists.
Without his failed ideological
bid for the presidency in 1964,
there might never have been a
breeding ground for Ronald
Reagan — or, for that matter, Jer
ry Falwell.
Now Goldwater, 72, and miffed
at his exclusion from the pantheon
of “New Right’’ leaders, is raising
Cain with “political preachers ’
like Falwell.
In a speech inserted into the
Congressional Record Tuesday,
and followed by a news confer
ence, Goldwater, R-Ariz., de
nounced Moral Majority-style re
ligious groups that inject them
selves into politics. He called
them “a very serious threat to our
liberty.”
Goldwater said he has, spent a
number of years carrying the flag
of the ‘old conservatism’ and “I can
say with conviction that the reli
gious issues of these groups have
little or nothing to do with conser
vative or liberal politics.”
On abortion, busing, prayer in
schools and pornography, the Ari
zona senator lines up with the
Moral Majority.
But, he said, “they have no par
ticular bearing upon the future of
our country. Lawmakers should
not be bothered by single-issue
lobbies when national security
and economic survival are at
stake, he said.
Diversity of opinion is what
made America great, Goldwater
said, unwittingly echoing a series
of commercials made by liberal TV
producer Norman Lear. Both ex
tolled the Americanism of people
liking their eggs cooked diffe
rently.
What apparently bothered
Goldwater most was the Falwells
of the New Right preempting the
conservative mantle that Goldwa
ter had to wear through some
pretty chilly times after he lost the
presidential race 17 years ago.
“I don’t like the conservative
cause that I’ve been fighting for all
my life all of a sudden becoming
interpreted as putting up with all
these groups that I think are dan
gerous to the country,” he told
reporters.
Falwell, attending a White
House reception for businessmen,
shrugged off Goldwater’s com
ments.
Clad in a dark suit with a brass
lapel pin reading “Jesus Christ,”
Falwell said the Moral Majority
was a political organization with a
constitutional right to speak out on
the issues.
He said that Goldwater may
have considered himself a right
winger in his day, “but perhaps
the times have passed him by.”

ROME, N Y. — A B-52G Stra-
to-fortress bomber equipped with
a maximum 12 cruise missiles per
formed well during its first test
flight for the Strategic Air Com
mand, officials at Griffiss Air
Force Base say.
A six-man crew from the 416th
Bombardment Wing flew the craft
to Kentucky and then to Nebras
ka, where it turned around for the
return flight to Griffiss Tuesday
afternoon. The flight took nine
hours.
Lt. Michele Boyd said the 12
cruise missiles, containing a dum
my payload, were loaded on the
modified aircraft’s two external
pylons. In addition, eight short-
range attack missiles for training
were in the B-52G’s bomb bay.
“This is the first flight ever with
the 12 missiles,” Boyd said.
