Jerry Herman originally wrote it just as a production number to get Carol Channing onstage in the second act of his Broadway musical. Then Louis Armstrong's recording hit the counters. Typically, Satchmo gave it a rasping rhythm and lowdown authority-qualities it never had in the original-and his single recording knocked the Beatles right off the top of the bestselling lists. Both Republicans and Democrats wanted to cash in on the song's popularity, but Dolly Producer David Merrick, a loyal Democrat, gave the tune exclusively to Johnson for Hello, Lyndon! and threatened to sue Barry...
...last week the courtroom drama of Rockefeller v. Murphy unfolded be hind closed doors in White Plains, N.Y. Only the disputants knew just why Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller yielded custody of her four children - James, 13; Margaretta, 11; Carol, 8; and Melinda, 4-to Virologist James S.

Governor Rockefeller's lawyers implied that some sort of joint custody had been worked out, but shortly after the Republican Convention, Mrs. Rockefeller brought the truth into the open by filing suit to get the children back. Her petition stated that Murphy had custody originally-and now she has won the first round in her battle to reverse the award...
