Christian group to boycott MCA businesses
DALLAS (AP) — The com-
pany distributing the movie
“The Last Temptation of Christ”
is the target of an all-out attack
by a Dallas-area Christian
group, which plans to picket the
film’s opening and boycott all
MCA-related businesses.
!■ “We’re through begging.
We’re through pleading,” said
Russ Houck, founder of Chris-
tians in Action. “They (MCA)
chose to declare this war and
we’re planning to fight it.”
A talk-show host on a local
Christian radio station, Houck
announced the group’s
strategies during ? news con-
ference Monday at Calvary
Temple in Irving.
Christians in Action was plan-
ning to protest the movie’s open-
ing Wednesday at a theater in
the Dallas suburb of Addison and
to boycott all AMC theaters and
MCA products and businesses
through Jan. 1, Houck said.
Theater officials said it is all
right for the group members to
protest as long as they follow
some guidelines.
“We worked out a plan so that
people who wish (tp picket) will
be able to do so and people who
want to see thjj -morse will be
able to do so without being,
harassed or disturbed,” said
Rick King, vice president of
operations for AMC’s Southwest
Division.
If demonstrators assemble on
theater property, including the
parking lot, they will “be asked
to relocate,” King said. “It’s
private property and we won’t
permit any of that kind of activi-
ty.”
“There are public areas in the
vicinity of the theater where
they will be directed to go,” King
said, referring to sidewalks.
Houck said, “We’re calling for
the boycott of all AMC theaters
and we’re also boycotting
Starplex Amphitheatre.”
“Don’t go,” he said. “Don’t
spend your money. I don’t care
what the product is.”
Starplex Amphitheater is a
popular concert spot near the
Cotton Bowl.
Among the targeted products
are videocassette tapes made by
Universal studios, which is own-
ed by MCA, Houck said. One of
Universal’s new tape releases is
“E.T.”
“The Last Temptation of
Christ” has been a rallying point
for conservative Christians
since mid-July, when copies of
the script began circulating.
Some critics called for the
movie’s destruction, and others
asked MCA to shelve it.
Opponents of the movie claim
the depiction of Je?us is
blasphemous because he is por-
trayed as confused and lust-
ridden.
Pinochet nominated to rule ’til ’97
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -
Anti-government protesters
clashed with riot police across
Chile after the military junta
nominated President Augusto
Pinochet to rule until 1997. One
demonstrator was reported kill-
ed and scores were wounded.
Pinochet promised a move
toward democracy after being
narited Tuesday as the only can-
didate in an Oct. 5 referendum.
The right-wing general, who has
run Chile since taking power in a
bloody 1973 coup, made the
selection with the junta’s other
three members.
Thousands in the capital bang-
ed empty pots and pans in pro-
test and demonstrators erected
barricades with burning tires
and blocked traffic at many in-
tersections in this city of 4.5
million.
News reports said Erickson
Palma, 15, was killed by gunmen
from a speeding car as he bang-
ed a pot from the window his
home in a residential
neighborhood in southwest San-
tiago.
An official at the hospital
where Palma was taken told The
Associated Press the teen-ager
was shot twice in the chest. The
spokesman said two other
demonstrators were shot and
wounded.
Police Capt. Alejandro Sierra
said 19 people were injured and
364 arrested in Santiago. Four
public buses were set afire and
destroyed by demonstrators,
and one of the bus drivers was
seriously burned, he said.
Similar protests occurred in
scores of other cities. Police did
not report on the number of de-
tainees in those cities.
The protests began as
Pinochet and the other military
commanders met to choose the
nominee, and became more
violent through the night.

Power outages struck several
suburbs of Santiago and the nor-
thern coastal city of La Serena.
Causes for the blackouts were
not immediately known, but the
power transmission towers are a
favorite target of leftist guer-
rillas.
Pinochet heralded his nomina-
tion as “a decisive moment in
the institutional process”
started by his 15-year-dld
government. The opposition de-
nounced it as the continuation of
“an aging dictatorship.”
“If I govern, you govern,”
Pinochet, _ 72, told thousands of
supporters from a balcony of the
government palace. He called on
them “to fight to achieve vic-
tory” in the upcoming ballot.
Pinochet led the September
1973 coup that ousted the elected
government of Marxist Presi-
dent Salvador Allende, who died
in the palace takeover.
