...long, New Yorkers were reading such whimsical ads as "Diane Shugrue ate 3,925 Dilly Beans last month. She didn't gain an ounce. (Is she tired of Dilly Beans!)" Radio listeners were subjected to a barrage of zany plugs interspersed with 20 seconds of weird "music to eat Dilly Beans by." One ad advised: "If your neighborhood grocer doesn't have a jar, knock something off the shelf on the way out."

The straight lines of Western architecture are replaced by curlicues and curves; landscapes become shrouded in Oriental mist; night sounds have an uneasy difference. And poverty is not a shabby destitution but something as stark, as cruel...
...regular straight hand-offs to the 6'2" 203 pound fullback, who favors the stronger left side of the line over Pyle and Balme. When Blanchard isn't plugging away, Ted Hard, a 6' 190 pound junior, will do it for him. Both fullbacks run with a vengeance and eat away at the middle until the defense starts to stop them (which hasn't been very often...
