...dance floor. George, who has just written a new book titled Living It Up, or, They Still Love Me in Altoona, had come to New York on a stage tour with Channing, 53, and at a preshow party in Manhattan, the two showed their style with some bump and hustle. Well, sort of. "Carol was doing the hustle, but I was still doing the peabody. When I like something, I stick to it," noted Burns. "The only ones who can still dance the peabody are Jimmy Cagney and myself." Pause. "He's very nice to dance with...

Kansas City has festooned itself with red, white and blue bunting for the convention. Practically everything in town seems to smell of fresh paint, including such bump-and-grind joints along Twelfth Street as the Pink Door (a new coat of pink, naturally) and the Can-Can Club (mauve and green). Even Ray's Playpen, the city's leading porno shop, has redecorated its windows with a donkey and an elephant, both looking sedate...

They were watching four male strippers, dressed only in top hats and white ties, undulate to a bump-and-grind version of Baby Face. Also on the program were Annie ("I've tried them all") Sprinkle's consumer guide to sex toys readily available from the greengrocer, hints for success at orgies, assorted massage-parlor ads and "swinging couple looking for other swinging couples" classifieds...

...many of his hired managers, the supremely powerful man whom they never saw was "The Shareholder." As such, Howard Hughes controlled everything through Summa Corp., headquartered in Las Vegas, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Miami. Occasionally, the corpulent assets of the two organizations bump into each other, revealing the complex relationships. The institute, of which Hughes was sole trustee, owns all of Hughes Aircraft Co., the huge defense contractor (more than $1.4 billion worth last year). Hughes Aircraft, in turn, owns half of Theta Cable, a cable TV system in Los Angeles. The other half is owned...

...Bump Incomes. Kerry put much of the blame on officials. Troubled churches write in for help and their pleas go unanswered, he claimed, and devout practitioners receive abusive letters. The all-powerful five-member Board of Directors, he added, avoids urgent matters. Even so, he said, the directors are paid $54,000 a year-appreciably more than the top executives of larger church groups-and are able to bump their average incomes up to $100,000 a year with copyright and other income as trustees for the estate of Founder Mary Baker Eddy, as well as various additional fees...
