Schwarzenegger seems a bundle of contradictions: an outspoken Republican who’s married to Democratic stalwart Sen. Ted Kennedy’s niece, Maria Shriver (and the daughter of George McGovern’s running mate!). A man who proclaims his life story to be a triumph of individual will, yet often reaches out to people less successful than he. An actor who has regularly been roughed up by critics, yet won a Golden Globe Award for Best Acting debut. A dedicated “jock” who spent years in the weight room, but also has a master of business administration degree. A brutally tough business negotiator who’s given away millions to charity. An aggressive bachelor in his younger days who also helped advance women’s bodybuilding. A “health nut” who has also taken massive doses of steroids. A man whose father was literally a Nazi in occupied Austria, but whose career has been immeasurably helped by Jewish promoters and producers and calls himself an “honorary Jew.” A top-notch athlete whose first charitable work was with handicapped children.

Reddy’s a Democrat, so the article’s safe for children of all ages.
