...face it," says Goodie. "I never forgot about being governor." In 1924, as a promising young lawyer and the proprietor of a Stutz Bearcat, Goodie met Arvilla Cooley, a dazzling blonde, at a dinner dance in Santa Monica. A year later they were married, and in due course Goodie became the doting father of two more dazzling blondes, Marilyn and Carolyn. Goodie, a mellow and indulgent parent, was surprised when he occasionally struck flint in his daughters' dispositions. When Carolyn was a student at U.S.C., he was curious to know why she had not joined a sorority. "Unlike...
...began on the beaches and the golf courses, with multicolored blazers, vari-patterned shirts, brick-red slacks, Bermuda shorts, and hats and caps that looked as if they had been dug out of the tool chest of an old Stutz Bearcat. It was furthered by increased weekend living, during which men assumed a dressed-up casualness. Last week Manhattan's Brooks Brothers advertised "casual clothes for evening," an ensemble consisting of a shawl-collared jacket in red, green, yellow or black, with "trousers in black with green-black Tartan stripes, narrow alternating stripes and attractive checks" down the sides...

(Sample: after listening to a seemingly endless sales message, Allen observed, "The foregoing commercial is now available on long-playing records.") Allen's pressagent, Jim Moran, is a weekly visitor, and he ordinarily arrives toting a stuffed bearcat or boa constrictor that he claims to have bagged while crossing Central Park to the studio. Allen ends each show with a visit to his studio audience for ad lib conversations. In startling contrast to most TV interrogators, he sometimes asks sensible questions and gets sensible answers...
...have escaped over jungle trails or by floating down chutelike rapids on improvised rafts. Behind them come five Viet Minh columns, the nearest now within sight of us. They have traveled fast, but they have not had an easy passage. On the way in, we saw Hellcat and Bearcat fighters filling the tight green valleys with the orange-red bursts and the soot-black smoke of napalm. Now the sound of bursting bombs comes like slow thunder from the distant valleys...
