...yule log and invite the family for a singalong. Not to be outdone by Andy Williams, who featured his wife, two children and 38 relatives on his show, last week Dean Martin turned the cameras on his wife and seven children as well as Frank Sinatra and his clan (Mia was conspicuously absent). But for sheer numbers, no one can outdo the singing King Family, who last week turned out 45 strong for their first Christmas special. Since it followed hard on the heels of their Thanksgiving show, the next blowout viewers can presumably expect is "The King Family Ground...
...Walt Whitman, presents James's complex character with the ease and clarity that distinguished his subject's own style. There is no understanding James's skeptical temperament without understanding his extraordinary family. Using unpublished papers, Allen weaves a rich account of the restless, tightly knit clan.

The last 40 of the 104 lower-priced condominiums ($17,000 for a studio-efficiency) were sold...
...when he paused to read an unsigned note in small, familiar script. "Move in for the kill," it said. "I'm behind you. Way behind." The message from Kennedy's older brother and junior Senate colleague, Robert, was accurate as well as amusing. Bobby is political patriarch of the clan and may be a candidate for President in a few years, but he is way behind his kid brother when it comes to the use of power on Capitol Hill...
