...hell with the big people," says Fat Thomas. "His whole thing is helpin' little people." Now Jimmy has decided to help himself. He has stopped writing his column for the New York Post*and five other papers partly because the $125,000 he conned out of publishers and ABC-TV last year is no longer enough...
...look at Michelangelo's rich creations in a new color movie, shot in many cases from only a few feet away - the closest filming of the ceiling ever permitted. Careful tuning of the TV set is obviously required, but The Secret of Michelangelo: Every Man's Dream (ABC-TV, Dec. 5, 9:3010:30 p.m. E.S.T.) is still a rare instance of television illuminating art.

National Chairman Ray Bliss, on Rocky's suggestion that he and Nixon 1) meet in a debate, and 2) sponsor a state-by-state voter poll to test their Electoral College strength. The setbacks did not shake Rocky. He announced on ABC-TV that he had "decided to go ahead anyhow in undertaking a national survey to break out individual states and key cities," even though it might cost him, according to an earlier-and very conservative-estimate, an average of at least $5,000 a state. Such a figure...
