As they chatted on the velvet lawn, two experts made sure that the twelve gallons of fruit juice, 3,000 sandwiches, 2,500 pastries and 30 pounds of cake conformed with Jewish dietary laws...

Bachelor Merrill's income (currently $300,000) does not depend on inspiration: Mambo Italiano was turned out for Mitch Miller, who wanted a dialect mambo for Rose mary Clooney. Tina Marie was ordered by Perry Como, who "wanted a rhythm song." "It's a job and I do it," says...
