People in the news Jack Ford held after taking sign RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. (AP) Jack Ford, a son of former President Gerald Ford, was handcuffed and detained for about 30 minutes after witnesses told authorities they saw him taking down a Olympic sign during the equestrian endurance event. Ford, 31, was attending the competition Wednesday at Fairbanks Ranch, 17 miles north of downtown San Diego, along with about 50,000 other spectators, San Diego police spokesman Bill Robinson said. Ford was questioned, then released after being given a warrant ordering him to appear before a judge at an unspecified time to answer a misdemeanor theft allegation, Robinson said. Ford, a resident of Leucadia, Calif., offered no resistance. Robinson said handcuffing is “standard procedure” in such cases. • MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, an active walking horse owner and exhibitor, will show her style as a participant in the International Grand Championship Walking Horse Show this month, a spokeswoman for the show says. Miss Gabor will come from an exhibition ride at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles for the last day of the five-day event in Murfreesboro on Aug. 11, spokeswoman Faye Snodgrass said Wednesday. Miss Gabor won’t be astride her world champion mount, Silver Fox, for the exhibition ride because the horse cannot be transported from California in time, Ms. Snodgrass said. She said she believed it will be the first time the actress has attended a horse show in Tennessee. The international show, which begins Aug. 7, is billed as the second-largest walking horse competition in the country. • NEW YORK (AP) Soap opera fans will get their chance to review the acting style of Suzette Charles, the new Miss America, when she appears on the ABC serial “Loving” in October. The network announced Wednesday that it had signed the 21-year-old to a short-term contract that calls for Miss Charles to play a model “who holds the secret to someone else’s past,” according to an ABC press release. “Loving,” ABC’s newest serial, finished 24th among 26 daytime shows in the last measured ratings period. Miss Charles became Miss America by default July 23 after sexually explicit photos of her predecessor, Vanessa Williams, were published in Penthouse magazine. • LOS ANGELES (AP) Pam McGee, who was shown in a closeup on national television as tears rolled down her cheeks during the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games, says she’ll never forget her feelings that day. “When everyone started singing, and reaching out and touching each other, that was very special,” the basketball player from the University of Southern California said. “To see thousands of athletes from different countries joining hands, singing songs, is wonderful. "It eases your mind of nuclear war and all the other problems in the wogld, and you realize that we’re all the same, regardless of race, creed or color.”

'Hill Street' tops Emmy nominees

LOS ANGELES (AP) NBC’s “Hill Street Blues” dominated Emmy nominations for the fourth straight year today, with the comedy “Cheers” and ABC’s recordbreaking nuclear drama “The Day After” tied for a close second. NBC’s police drama collected 18 nominations, including a posthumous nomination for two-time Emmy winner Michael Conrad, who died of cancer last spring. NBC’s “Cheers” and the ABC movie, “The Day After,” were tied at 12 nominations each. “Fame,” the dancing drama that went into syndication after it was dropped by NBC, was in a three-way tie with 11 nominations with NBC’s medical drama, St. Elsewhere, and ABC’s remake of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” ABC’s “Something About Amelia,” a taut drama about incest, got eight nominations. NBC once again led with the highest number of nominations at 98. CBS was second with 87 nominations, and ABC was third with 72. PBS had 30, syndicated programs got 25 and one went to Operation Prime Time, a quasi-network that produces special programs for independent stations. The category for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or special looked like one of the closest races in years. The nominees were Ann-Margret, for her role as Blanche Dußois in “Streetcar,” Jane Fonda as the valiant Kentucky mother in ABC’s “The Dollmaker,” Jo Beth. Williams as the anguished mother of a kidnapped child in NBC’s “Adam,” Glenn Close as the wife of a man who commits incest with their daughter in “Something About Amelia,” and Jane Alexander in a different look at a Western myth

PAUL NEWMAN: Popcorn freak WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) Actor Paul Newman has put another jar in the cupboard, introducing his third food product - Newman’s Own Oldstyle Picture Show Popcorn. Accompanied by banjo music and three women calling themselves Molly and the Popcornettes, Newman sang the virtues of his new popcorn to the tune of “I Am the Very Model of the Modern Major General” at an introduction ceremony Wednesday in a historic mansion. Among the hundreds of guests who showed up to mark the occasion in Newman’s hometown were actress June Havoc, who lives in the nearby town of Wilton, and television movie critic Gene Shalit. Newman’s popcorn follows Newman’s Own SaladnDressing and Newman’s Own Industrial Strength Spaghetti Sauce as food products introduced by the blue-eyed actor and race-car driver. All proceeds from the sale of the foodstuffs go to charity through Newman’s corporation, the New York-based Advantage Food Marketing Corp. By year’s end, Newman’s products will have raised $2.5 million for a number of charities, according to a news release distributed at the ceremony. Newman said he decided on his new product “out of nostalgia and a love for good popcorn.” • CHICAGO (AP) Hugh Hefner’s 72-room Playboy mansion, once the domicile of the men’s magazine founder and his scantily clad bunnies, will become the first student residence for the Art Institute of Chicago under a lease agreement. The Victorian-style mansion, estimated to be worth $3 million, eventually will be donated to the school for use as a coed dormitory, Playboy officials said Tuesday. The one-time bunny hutch on Chicago’s posh Gold Coast, complete with a game room, steam room, bowling alley and indoor pool featuring a waterfall and underwater bar, will be named “HefnernHall.” Hefner lived and worked in the marfsion from 1959 to 1971, when he moved to California. “It is our intention and their hope it will become a permanent gift,” said Christie Hefner, Hefner’s daughter and president of Playboy Enterprises Inc.
