Talk about ”Wham, bam, thank you, ma`am.” John James, who plays Jeff Colby in ”Dynasty” and ”The Colbys,” met his costar, Emma Samms (his TV wife, Fallon), in bed. James told ”Hour Magazine” host Gary Collins that he simply ”slipped under the sheets” and introduced himself. Samms smiled and said, ”Hi.” The director yelled, ”Action!” and that was it.

So many books, so little time. Seeing a need, John Moschitta, the fast-talking TV pitchman, has jumped in to fill it by recording ”10 Classics in 10 Minutes” (Workman Publishing) on an audio-
cassette. Here are Moschitta`s own mini-reviews of those classics: ”`Moby Dick`: big whale; `Gone with the Wind`: great movie; `The Grapes of Wrath`:
really depressing; `Romeo and Juliet`: Shakespeare, what a writer!; `The Great Gatsby`: lots of parties; `A Streetcar Named Desire`: S-T-E-L-L-A; `Alice in Wonderland`: really weird; `Oliver Twist`: millions of characters; `The Odyssey`: God, those Greeks could write!; and `Robin Hood`: the guy in the green tights.”
According to James Adams in ”The Financing of Terror,” which is excerpted in the November Penthouse, the Palestine Liberation Organization, which pays no taxes, has an annual income of well over $1.25 billion, a sum larger than the total budget of some Third World countries. Yasser Arafat`s PLO collects 5 percent of the income of every Palestinian and invests in the New York and London stock markets. ”In the same way that the State of Israel will not disappear from any map of the Middle East, the PLO has grown to such a size and is so financially secure that it would be virtually impossible to remove,” Adams concludes.
