...Detroit's Democratic Mayor Jerome Cavanagh, 39, is not having such a good year. Overwhelmed by last summer's race trouble, denounced as a public souse and womanizer, sued for separation by the mother of his eight children, Hizzoner has most recently been hit with a $100,000 damage suit by Mrs. Ruth O. Martin, 47, wife of his wife's brother. According to Mrs. Martin, she was visiting the mayoral mansion last July when Cavanagh "kicked and knocked the plaintiff against the furniture and onto the floor."

Worse yet was the way Minnesota...
...slang harangue of Rockin' Robbie D is delivered in a keening, rapid-fire wail that is recognizable only to dogs, seismographs-and teenagers. Not that the kids understand it all; sometimes, when Mr. Hip Lip, as he is also called, starts "makin' with the shakin' " on Detroit's WCHB, the station runs a write-in contest called "What Did Robbie Say?" Nobody really knows, least of all Robbie. The important thing is that Rockin' Robbie and dozens more like him have given radio an advanced case of the screaming meemies...
