Feud of the Week

By Barbara Kiviat

FEUD OF THE WEEK

NAME: Warren Beatty, a.k.a. the sexiest man in Tinseltown over 65

OCCUPATION: Acting, fathering and trying to galvanize the left in a commencement speech at UC Berkeley.

BEST PUNCH: "Can't we accept that devotion to the building of body politic is more complex and more sensitive than devotion to bodybuilding?"

NAME: Arnold Schwarzenegger, a.k.a. the Gubernator of Cal-e-fornia

OCCUPATION: Trimming the budget, mocking girly men and galvanizing nurses against him

BEST PUNCH: Arnie's flacks surmised that the "crackpot" is "just mad at Republicans because he's afraid they're going to cut off his Social Security"

WINNER: Beatty gets props for rocking the boat, but Arnold's still Governor. So the match goes to Arnie. Unless, Warren, you're running?
