...emporium (reputed to be the city's most profitable), and the other floors are hidden behind a huge bill board, which reads "This Is Macy's -The World's Largest Store." Macy's leases it for one of the world's fanciest billboard prices...
...About to Throw Up." One hard day's night over the whole CBS network last week, the big-beat spectacular happened just the way Murray planned it. A breakneck succession of 23 Scopi-tone-like acts in 90 minutes. A bill reading like Billboard's "Hot 100" and sounding, to adults, like 76 air hammers. The Ronettes playing stickball on Manhattan's Mott Street. Little Anthony and the Imperials mock-"bopping" on the stage of the Brooklyn Fox.

I don't do anecdotes; I accumulate experiences...
...lilting dirge, that bit of drifter's lingo is the hottest item on the current top pop charts. Out less than two months, King of the Road passed the three-quarters of a million sales mark last week, is fourth and soaring on this week's Billboard listing. The lyrics, music and vocal are all by a personable young man named Roger Miller, 29. He is no new Beatle, but he has got what they call something. Raised in Oklahoma on a farm and a fiddle, he owes an obvious debt to the country and Western tradition...
