Pecker insists Arnold does not have tabloid immunity:

Pecker still insists that Schwarzenegger does not have tabloid immunity. "Will I send 50 reporters to dig up something on my partner?" he asks. "No. I'm not going to do that. But if anything that's newsworthy comes up, something that we know will sell, we'll publish."

Taming the Hydra-Headed Carnivorous Beast EXCLUSIVE! THE HUSH-HUSH DEAL THAT MADE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER GOVERNOR by Ann Louise Bardach IN 1975, ROBERTA NEIMAN, A STILL photographer on the movie set of Stay Hungry, spent an afternoon taking photos of an Austrian bodybuilder named Arnold Schwarzenegger.
