...really interview Monk." He had about 30 chats with him, spread over two or three months, mostly walking around outside the Five Spot, Monk's Manhattan base, or sitting in some dark bar at 2 a.m.- "just like Cosa Nostra." Farrell considers himself "a jazz fan in a way I am not a fan of anything else," takes a night or two each week "to beat about the scene." But he thinks that for all its joy, jazz is surrounded by so much sadness that "to just say you love jazz is wrong." One of the incidental benefits...
That night, at a dinner attended by 2,100, Johnson nearly struck out with the town's baseball fans. His prepared text said: "St. Louis is-as your old saying goes-first in many things and no longer last in the American League."

He spent $411,000 renovating Kansas City's Municipal Stadium, painting it yellow, turquoise and orange, then boasting: "I may not have the best team, but I sure have the sexiest ballpark." He installed all kinds of odd gimmicks-a "Fan-O-Gram" that spelled out messages on the Scoreboard (sample: "Welcome to Paul Richards and his flock of chirping Baltimore Orioles"), a "Little Blowhard" that dusted home plate with compressed air, a mechanical rabbit named Harvey that rose out of the ground and fed baseballs to the umpire.
