...married after his father's death, denied him the money he had earned. A court battle left the actor with only $126,000, though the controversy resulted in the passage of California's so-called Coogan Act, which puts all juvenile earnings into court-administered trust funds. Bald and obese in middle age, Coogan never regained movie stardom but charmed a new generation as the ghoulish Uncle Fester in television's The Addams Family...
...cartoons with the stubble and the jowls--do you realize that I have feelings too?" And in many ways the writers of the play themselves are cartoonists who place Nixon in the most humiliating light possible and mock him; theirs is the mentality of postcards that show a bald Reagan in nothing but his sweatsocks. At the beginning of the play, Nixon spends 10 inept minutes hemming and hawing the words "Testing: one, two, three...uh...uh...four," while fumbling with a tape that keeps blasting out the Goldberg variations.

Fifty-year-old business honchos got mud on the knees of their gray flannels playing touch football among the parked cars and joshed one another loudly about bifocals and bald spots. The older wives wore mink, and the younger wives wore ski sweaters and down vests. They helped with the elaborate tailgate picnics everyone brought, but otherwise stood somewhat aside from the gamboling with their plastic cups full of Chablis. The two colleges have been coed for well over...
...opposing camps both speak with Southern accents, but there the similarities end. The challenger, Chairman T. Boone Pickens Jr., 55, of Mesa Petroleum in Amarillo, is a dashing, salty Texas oilman who delights in telling earthy jokes. The defender, Gulf Chairman James E. Lee, 61, is a bald, straitlaced native of Mississippi who sometimes leads prayers before gatherings of his board of directors. While Lee has spent his whole career plodding through Gulfs corporate ranks, Pickens is a free-spirited dealmaker whose company has bought and sold stakes in three other oil firms in the past two years, earning more...
