He was very cute; he wasn’t Karl Malden. I didn’t get out of my car until everyone left the park. Then I followed him in. I don’t want to go into details.” Michael pleaded no contest to lewd con duct, paid an $810 fine and was ordered to perform 80 hours of community service.

DIMaggio’s request: I want to go home HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Joe DiMaggio drew a smile from his doctor Thursday with a feisty request. “I want to get the hell out of here and go home,” the former Yankees slugger said. The 84-year-old DiMaggio continued to show improvement after developing a lung infection as he battles lung cancer. “Thing are looking up today, but who knows what will happen tomorrow,” said Dr. Earl Barron, DiMaggio’s cardiologist. DiMaggio had no fever and his white blood cell count was normal. He had been unable to speak because of a tube in his tra chea but indicated with hand gestures that he wanted to talk, Barron said. He had the tube capped temporarily, al lowing DiMaggio to make his comment. Sylvester Stallone prepares to sell mansion MIAMI (AP) — Moving trucks rolled up to Sylvester Stallone’s estate to haul away ex ercise equipment, paintings and other be longings as he awaits completion of a deal to sell the mansion. The actor is living in a ho tel room in Los Angeles, where his new movie Detox is being filmed, said his spokesperson, Rosario Kennedy. He is not getting out of South Florida for good, she said. “He still plans to make Miami his permanent home,” Kennedy said. Stallone put his bayfront mansion on the market in August 1997, and is asking $27.5 million. London’s Orient-Express Hotels Inc. has made a $24.7 million offer to build 200 vil la-style rooms on the property. The deal hinges on whether the hotelier can get zon ing approval. STALLONE tracks were changing over to cas settes,” says Ashton, setting the scene. “It was a period of insecuri ty but optimism.” “The show deals with the same issues teenagers deal with today,” says Laura, who plays Donna, a towering goddess who’s still one of the boys. “But even though the things we’re dealing with are timeless,” Ashton continues, “I think there were also a lot of things different about the ’70s.” For instance: “Kids got a lot more flak from their par ents. Parents could beat them and not, like, go to jail for it. “Kids in the ’70s didn’t have computers and CD players,” he adds. “They had to come up with different ways to have fun. That’s what the show is about: finding dif ferent ways to have fun. And then our parents can beat us if we have TOO much fun.” Actually, no beatings are ex pected. For one thing, the parents are too busy shopping for lava lamps and learning disco steps. Ever since “That ’70s Show” premiered last August, the kids have indeed been finding ways to amuse themselves: sneaking out of town to a Todd Rundgren concert; throwing an illicit keg party in an empty swimming pool; watching TV in the basement, where the swelling smoke and loopy talk are telltale signs they are stoned. In the meantime, the “’70s” cast members have fused into a finely tuned ensemble. “I remember my first audi tion,” says Topher Grace, who plays Eric, the show’s spindly Everylad. “All the kids, I knew. And all of them knew each other. Because they were all famous. Ex cept for me. There was the guy from ‘Blank’ and the girl from ‘Blank,’ and they were talking to each other, having a great time. And I was the total loser.” “At my audition there was me, and this other girl who looked like a total cheerleader-teeny-bopper- Hanson-lover,” Laura sniffs. “I was like, ‘They must not know what they want!”’ Wilmer, who plays the foreign- exchange student Fez, says he met Laura at their audition for Fox ex ecs. “She was sitting there, very cute. She was just so nice.” “When I punch you,” says Lau ra, “do you still think I’m nice?” “I was a little nervous,” the Venezuelan-born Wilmer presses on. “I was the only Hispanic walk ing into the audition.” “Wilmer speaks English so well, even though he came to our coun try just five years ago,” Topher ob serves. “But then he goes into char acter, and you can’t understand anything he’s saying and he acts clueless. But we’re all a lot like our characters.” “Fez takes most things literally and I used to do that, too,” Wilmer concedes, “because I didn’t know about sarcasm in English.” “I’m a lot like Donna,” says Lau ra. “I’m friends with a lot of guys. Would you call me a tomboy?” “You’re pretty butch!” Ash ton cracks. As if anyone would fault Eric for the boy-girl urges that some times override his chummy feel ings for Donna. When these next-door neigh bors talk in the driveway after dark, they don’t just talk anymore. Laura seems at a loss to explain the puppy-love chemistry she and Topher generate. “We’ve kissed so many times now,” she says, “it’s not a big deal.” Wish Ham inlt® : pry Cleaninl yViishers & Dr)' fold Service aV Low Price uty mt-’ s . past midnigW Now Hiring Part-Time Positions Universal Computer Systems, Inc. seeks candidates for the following open positions at our College Station office.
