...Hawaii personally to sell the show to Henry J. Kaiser, and soon bullets were ricocheting merrily off mantelpieces from coast to coast. Treyz's first great masterpiece of programming, however, came with 77 Sunset Strip-the series that gave Edd ("Kookie") Byrnes and his pomade-raking pocket comb to the world. Millions of acned teen-agers fell for Kookie's hackneyed charms, and the hot-rod set became ABC's own. The next Treyz triumph was The Untouchables, which set a new vogue for group slaughter, made Eliot Ness a household name among the postwar young marrieds...
From Good to Great. At first, Villanova Coach Jim ("Jumbo") Elliott was unimpressed with his new recruit. "He was lazy," says Elliott. "But sprinters are like that. They believe that God gave them their speed and all they have to do is lace up their shoes, comb their hair and run."

And when all else fails, they turn to an army of volunteer assistants, including a mathematics expert lodged in Broadmoor criminal lunatic asylum...
...Spaniard in him still ruled the spirit of his work. It shows in the nobility of his Don Quixote. And even in his most abstract work, there are the symbols of Spain-a Spanish comb, the fringe of a shawl, a guitar's strings, the horns of a bull. The show-57 sculptures, five enamels, 41 drawings and pastels-will tour the United States and Canada until 1963. Everywhere it travels, it will remind sculptors of their debt to Gonzalez, and of the iron-hard sadness of his life and thought...
