...mother-in-law drive your new Cadillac over a cliff," quipped Henry Haynes and Kenneth ("Jethro") Burns, the two Tennessee hillbillies who became a permanent team in 1936. Their deadpan delivery of such ditties as How Much Is That Doggie in the Window? soon caught on, and the drawling duo sold millions of records...
...lost their one stronghold in the world of rock. Now not only Carole but a number of other girls are trying to fill it. Among them: > Carly Simon, 26, offspring of a branch of the publishing Simons (& Schuster). At Sarah Lawrence, she and Sister Lucy had a popular folk duo called the Simon Sisters. Carly's debut album on Elektra shows her to be an adept composer in a fair range of styles (folk, country, pop).

They further decided to take "only the cases where there is a serious injury and clear negligence." Apparent translation: cases that promise large damage awards. In each of the past five years, the duo has grossed more than $2,000,000 in damages for relatively few clients. For the very biggest cases, Boccardo. a friend of Bradley's, has been called in to handle the trial...
...Henny Penny, the animal imitations are so penetrating as to fool Noah if he were reloading the ark. The duo representing the Two Crows wear black baseball caps with outsize yellow peaks. By cocking this headgear at each other with a kind of jerky solemnity, the pair reduce to a satirical shambles all of the world's bogus expertise and high-level-conference pomposity...
