...going but not gone. Intimates insisted that illness was not a factor. He did quit his latest film in November because of a painful constriction in his hand, but surgery supposedly has corrected that. He is back on the golf course and still moves with the old deliberate cock-of-the-walk swagger. With his hair transplant and added poundage, he looks healthier-but worse -than the peaked kid with the caved-in cheeks who played the Paramount...
...British press denounced the tactic used against Molineaux, but the tactic itself was only an unsophisticated beginning.

The Southern planters, who had found it as profitable and more entertaining than cock-fighting to pit their darkies against each other, found themselves in the shadow of black fighters such as Vesey, L'Ouverture, and Turner and did not wish to promote combativeness of any form among their slaves.

Even to rather lethargic men of good heart disaffected by the chaos last spring, all Korty's emphasis on such personal virtues as civility and vegetarianism seemed dilettantish, ultimately self-gratifying; the moral foundation of the kids in riverrun is perhaps not far removed from that of their parents. Perhaps riverrun is even a reactionary film...
...hugely successful rock singer: "In classes just enough juice flowed to light a few circuits; but when he was working with the group every switch turned on." Lucky Shawn. Recording profits turn into trust funds as he rides easy with the groupies and crows his amplified cock-a-doodle...
