Many people tried to disprove this association, and controversy raged over statistical methods. Ultimately, the phenomenon held up and became known as the Mars effect. Athletes who have an angular Mars include Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon (and yes, in my opinion, he counts as an athlete). 

Schwarzenegger, at the time best known for his role as a robotic assassin in the Terminator films, was immediately declared the sensible choice and the front-runner. The weekend after his announcement, he and his family flew to Massachusetts for a visit with his in-laws— the Kennedy family. Politics is the Kennedys lifeblood, and he was peppered with questions about his platform, his policies, his plans, his staff, and his campaign.
