...career as a versatile but erratic musician. At 19 he was good enough to play with John Philip Sousa, at 22 was playing under Toscanini with the New York Philharmonic. In 1929 he defected to radio, for the next two decades whipped up foamy musical souffles and sprightly chatter for such shows as Maxwell House Coffee Time, The Big Show. Along the way, he tried his hand at anything with a tune, crashed The Hit Parade (You and I, Two in Love), wrote two symphonies, several orchestral suites...
While Don was indulging himself with expensive chatter, Dodger President Walter O'Malley was doing some fast talking of his own. But he was not half so successful as Hypnotist Edelman. Wary citizens of Los Angeles were not the easy marks he thought them, and they insisted on a time-consuming referendum before they would sell him the land in Chavez Ravine that he wants for a ballpark. Wrigley Field, the only L.A. playground O'Malley now owns, is too small for big-league crowds, and Walter has been buttering up the city fathers of Pasadena, trying...
Christmas Chatter. Erhard lives, breathes and talks Marktwirtschaft. He is forever evangelizing−at banquets, cocktail parties or even family gatherings.

After all that chatter, Sugar's workout with gloves was an anticlimax.

Sparring partners put on a fair imitation of Basilio's brawling style while Sugar put on a fair imitation of a man who knows how to defend himself but sees no point in overexertion. "The roar of the crowd will give him a spark," promised Manager Gainford. "Just wait till Sugar hears the crowd...
...19th century monarchs, while talking over their shoulders to the press like 20th century pols. Yet the world noted, as it was meant to, that wherever the Russians went in East Berlin, Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan was at Khrushchev's side, exchanging a steady stream of cronies' chatter, occasionally prompting in stage whispers, never hesitating to set his bouncy colleague right on the propaganda rails. For like it or not, Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, 61, was doomed to the limelight. He is the only one of the handful of top Soviet Communists to have bet the right...
