Ralph: O.K. I want you to respect my two favorite hobbies -- watching TV and resting. You will owe me money if you ever criticize Joe DiMaggio, serve sodium-free potato chips, or bring into this house any book written by a sea gull or Leo Buscaglia. Outside of that, I'm easy. Of course, if I stick flamingos in the front yard, defend secondhand smoke or say something coarse about the snail darter, I'll pay you. I will agree never to go bald. And naturally, I expect you to remain wrinkle free and wasp waisted until further notice from...

It doesn't do anything but get you in a lot of trouble." Watch Cray in performance and it is easy enough to see how he could still get in harm's way. He has a voice that sounds as if he gargles with Old Grand...
...whom to interview," said one Washington media observer as he watched the hometown paper, so wise in the ways of political scandal, get off the starting block ahead of the pack. But the pack is coming on hard. As in Watergate 14 years ago, the Times will surely bring in the reserves for the journalistic war that is now declared and may in the end prove as important as the political inquest about to start over the Iranian-contra episode...
