- <p> NBC correspondent Arthur Kent expected some extra visibility
- from his coverage of the gulf war. But little did he suspect
- that his good looks, combined with grace under pressure, would
- make him the war's first TV heartthrob. The calm displayed by
- the tall, dark-haired Canadian during Iraqi Scud missile
- attacks on Saudi Arabia has elicited hundreds of phone calls
- and letters from women who insist on knowing more about him.
- Kent, 37, is "a little embarrassed by all the attention," but
- more may be on the way. A fan club has been formed, and ARTHUR
- KENT buttons are selling for $2 and $3 apiece, with T-shirts
- and a newsletter expected to follow.
