LOS ANGELES (AP) Selleck shiy?

“think 80, yeah," he says. ‘'1 was terribly shy all
my life, not just asa kid. An awful lot of actors\I know
are shy.”

That may help explain part of his enduring appeal,
first in eight seasons and eternal reruns as television's
Magnum, P.1. and'now as the big-screen star of Three
Men and a Baby and the current Her Alibi. He may
display the outward appearance of a movie hero, but
there's an underlying uncertainty that beguiles women
and reassures men,

Selleck’s candid appraisal

“I don't see myself as others do. People tell me,
*You're willing to play with your macho image, you're
willing to play with that.’ Well, I never tried to project a
macho image.

“In fact, I'm six feet, four inches tall. I've been
taller than most people most of my adult life. see no.
reason to run around trying to intimidate people with
that. I've always kind of gone the other way."”

Such an approach seems to be the way for his film
career to go. During hiatus time of the early Magnum,
he starred in three filmis of.the heroic mode, High Road
to.China, Lassiter and Runaway. All_were-disappoin-
tments, though not the dismal failures some critics
claimed.

during Magnum, but it wasn’t perceived that way with

Former Take 30 host
now full-time actor

EDMONTON (CP) — Long before Oprah of Phil or
Sally turned daytime television into a carnival for the
curious housewife, an amiable Canadian fellow names
Paul Soles helped provide a slightly more stimulating alter-
native to The Edge of Night

For 16 years Soles was one of the hosts of Take 30, a
CBC public affairs program broadcast weekday after-
noons

Take 30's radical premise was that homemakers
weren’t-stupid, that théy.could be lured away from the
soaps to watch a discussion about the Quiet Revolution in
Quebec or the struggle for native rights.

The CBC was right, and Take 30 ran from 1962 to
1984

Soles modestly declines much credit
praises the show's original three producers
Helen Carscallen and Margaret Fielder
work and high standards.

“I was damned lucky to be part of that enterprise,” he
says emphatically. ‘It was always two or three years ahead
of its time in terms of introducing certain social issues."”

But of course Soles had a hand in Take 30's success
too, As its front man, he was affable, intelligent and never
condescending toward his audience

Instead, he
Helen James,
for their hard

All those qualities are still in evidence these days. Soles
is a full-time actor now — although he notes that
throughout his TV eareer he worked on stage at least one a
year — and something of anomad

He makes his home in New York, but he hasn’t been
there much. Recently he was at Edmonton's Citadet
Theatre for the Canadian premiere of Cecil and
Cleopatra, a two-character play in which he appears with
American actress Margaret Avery.

Soles’s once-dark hair is mostly grey and he’s sporting
a full beard for the play, in which he plays an aging, ailing
drama teacher: Settling down into a plush couch ina down-
town hotel suite, he apologizes for smoking and looks
guilty every time he puils out a cigarette

“When regular daily television ceased for me back at

~ the turn of the decade, I then decided to just see how things

would go and not be too actively pursuing anything,’ Soles
says.

“For a year or two, I was on a farm close to my son
who was in his early teens and starting high school. I was
just glad to be out of all those years of daily television. 1
welcomed the vacation from that kind of daily obligation
—as greatly stimulating and rewarding as it was, you still
feel sort of harnessed and tied.””

RUSHDIE NOT ALONE

Writers under siege

By HILLEL ITALIE

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s tough being an author these
days, especially if one’s work reflects political or religious
beliefs.

It seems writers are under siege throughout the world
Novelist Salman Rushdie hides in England under death
threat; Czech playwright Vaclav Havel sits in a Prague jait
for his leadership in a dissident movement; Nobel Prize-
winner Wole Soyinka’ life is threatened in Nigeria

While these authors have received worldwide atten-
tion, they represent just a fraction of writers recently jailed
or harassed. The Writers in Prison committee of London:
based P.E.N. International lists 238 cases of writers im
prisoned, detained or forced into internal exile.

Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has
called for the death of Rushdie, a 41-year-old Bombay
native of Islamic parents, because of his novel, The Satanic
Verses, a scathing portrayal of the prophet Mohammed
and the founding of the Islamic religion.

“The Rushdie thing is certainly unprecedented,” said
author Susan Sontag, president of the P.E.N. American
Centre, a major exponent of writers’ freedom. **
the Nazis burned books, there was no call for the death of
the writers."”

Even when

POET DRAWNIN

The threat to Rushdie has drawn in Soyinka, a novelist
and poet awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986
Soyinka’s outspoken defence of Rushdie and condem-
nation of Khomeini as a “sick and dangerous man” in:
furiated Nigerian Muslims, estimated at nearly half the
country’s population of 100 million.

Havel, a prominent Czechoslovakian_ playwright
whose works are banned there, has been jailed for nine
months for allegedly inciting a protest to commemorate the
death in 1968 of Jan Palach, a student who set fire to him-
self to protest the Soviet-led invasion.

Als6 in Czechoslovakia, Ivan Jirous, an editor and
publisher, has been jailed four times since 1976 for anti-
government activities

A more unusual case of a writer in trouble with

authorities is Joseph Wambaugh, author of such’ best
sellers as The Onion Field and The New Centurions.

Wambaugh, a former Los Angeles police officer,
based his new book, The Blooding, on the rape and murder
of two 15-year old girls in Leicester, England. Leicester
police, responding to protests against the author's descrip-
tion of the crimes, have launched an investigation into how
information was obtained for the book

In South Africa, among many people in jail for op-
posing apartheid is Jaki Seroke, editorial director of
Skotaville Publishers, a non-profit orgaggeation That con-
centrates on the works of black writers

Although released from prison in: December 1988,
Zwelakhe Sisulu, who has written for several newspapers,
is confined evenings to his home in Johannesburg and must
report twice a day to authorities. Officials admitted his
detention was based on his involvement with The"New
Nation, an anti-apartheid newspaper he founded

Ironically, these arrests come as other writers have
won increased freedom in such countries as the Soviet
Union and South Korea.

According to ghe Writers in Prison committee, under
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of perestroika,
the number of jailed writers and journalists in the Soviet
Union dropped to 20 in 1988 from 93 in 1983. Improvemen.
ts in treatment of writers were also noted in Chile and
Argentina

South Korea released 281 political prisoners last Dec.
21 as part of an overall amnesty program. Journalist Kim
Hyon-jang and poet Kim Nam-ju were among those freed,
although Hyon-jang has been re-arrested

Czechoslovakia has also loosened restrictions, retur-
