Oliver North dois the Iran-Contra hearings. ‘They want to know if this real-life drama can be translated into a movie project and who would play North — Treat Williams, Kris Kristofferson, Mel Gibson? Converting today's headlines into tomorrow's movies and TV miniseries has become a Hollywood industry. “I tape the television news every night,” says David R. Ginsburg, president of Alliance Entertainment. “When I see something that might produce a film property, I file it for future reference.” Ginsburg has acquired dramatic rights to Marla Hanson, the New York model-actress whose career was threatened by a revenge slashing of her face (optioned by NBC), and Michael Caruso, Jr., the 10-year-old who talked himself out of a hostage situation at the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport (optioned by Disney). No news story in recent times has attracted as much Hollywood interest as the Emporia, Kan., church murder. Thomas Bird, a minister, was convicted of murdering his wife, Sandra, so he could marry his secretary and mistress, Lorna Anderson. They also were convicted of an abortive plot to murder her husband. HAD EVERYTHING The story had everything: religion, sex and murder in mid-America. Henry Winkler, Dick Clark and Zev Braun signed various members of the cast, and other producers and agents sought rights from reporters and other sources. The winner was Zev Braun.

PY SS North “I think 36 producers, networks and agents went after the story,” Braun said. “I was intrigued by the figure of John Rule, the state trooper who investigated the wife's murder. I decided: Let's tell the story from the point of view of Gary Cooper, the upright man fighting evil in a small town. So I made a contract with Rule and moved ahead. Now the others have dropped out because we got there first.” Getting there first is all-important in the real-life movie trade. No one knows that better than producer David Permut. “My approach to securing rights is: I make one phone call ~“ then I'm on a plane,” said Permut. lis projects have included Changing Habits, a TV movie in which a San Francisco madam was sentenced by a judge to spend time in a convent, Fighting Back, a feature with Tom Skerritt as a New Jersey deli owner who runs into trouble when he organizes anti-crime vigilantes, and Palm Beached, a future Disney movie with Bette Middler as the Florida socialite who found a Venezuelan freighter in her swimming pool. “There are some subjects that don’t appeal to me. Like The Billionaire Boys Club. I had talked with a couple of members, but my real problem with the story was how to deal with a bunch of spoiled rich kids breaking the law,” he said. The Billionaire Boys Club, whose leader Joe Hunt was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month for murder, will be portrayed in ‘a four-hour NBC movie produced by Donald March. Judd Nelson has been cast as Hunt. Abby Mann is an old hand at creating drama from real events, dating back to his Oscar-winning Judgment at Nuremberg 25 years ago.

Morris, 45, Britain's first professor of parapsychol- ogy, said in an interview that his science deals with “curious things that aren't explained.” Morris and other p> inandlcachsa nbtsie: Foal annual conf of the Pa ing things you couldn't have known by the usual means, like sensing the death of « relative at the monient of death, or dreaming of a plane crash that happens next “I know of an Edinburgh woman who left her work suddenly because she felt something was wrong at home and on arriving there she found one of her children had been sent home from school ill,” Morris said. LAYS CLAIM The power of mind over matter, like spoon-bending or rolling @ string of winning combinations with dice by apparent will-power, is called psychokinesis or PK. In a PK case cited by Alok Saklani of Garwhal discuss. their work. A note of caution about believing fantastic stories was sounded by Dr. John Beloff, a retired Edinburgh U who the meeting with Morris. “I consider that excessive credulity does far more harm than excessive incredulity,” said Beloff. In his address on the credibility of psychic claims, Beloff said there were fewer cases around of alleged psychic activity than there used to be. He said Uri Geller, who gained fame with his ability to bend spoons by thought alone, “has taken a terrible battering and the mini-Gellers have become even searcer.” “If such extreme ph exist, it is intell dishonest as well as cowardly to discount them,” Beloff said. Morris said investigators of the Paranormal have a handy short name for the app: They 1 y in Srinagar, India, a Himalayan shaman or faith-healer persuaded one group of wheat seeds to germinate more abundantly than another group, i by ing her thoughts on them, and under test conditions. Robert McConnell, a retired physicist at Pittsburgh University and the association's first president, said in an interview: “despite enormous interest among laymen, we need more from the ment so we can get support, and I don't mean just money. We have too much popular attraction and not enough willingness to examine the evidence.” Asked whether investigating the paranormal could have any result beyond advancing knowledge, McConnell responded: “Psi has to do with the relation of consciousness to the physical world. Ultimately, I expect we will find relationships between people which are now regarded as impossible or absurd and once we have more intimate call it psi, which rhymes with sigh. we might be able to our di Pp ) like over and war.” ° WESTAR & COMINCO VOUCHERS ACCEPTED — AIR CONDITIONED Reservations for Private Parties — 365-3294 Located one mile south of Weigh Scales in Ootischenia.
