<p>DIED. Johnny Weissmuller, 79, record-setting swimmer (five
Olympic gold medals) turned cinematic Tarzan (twelve movies);
in Acapulco, Mexico. "They gave me a G-string," he claimed of
his MGM bosses, "and said, `Can you climb a tree?'"
Weissmuller, the archetypal Hollywood hunk, led an extravagantly
untidy personal life highlighted by five failed marriages and
a portfolio of foolish business ventures.</p>
