...Namath's syndicated TV show-and melted like an icicle in April. "Gee, I think he's great," Peggy gushed afterward. "He seems to have so much fun." Joe, by all appearances, was equally impressed. "Say, Peggy," he ventured, with a confident grin beneath his latest Fu Manchu, "by the way, what are you doing tonight...

Drug taking is a must. A Modcom producer ought never to forget that it is good box office to proffer simulated wickedness as an act of liberation. That is what is known as a low high.

Three minutes later, New York Jet Quarterback Joe Namath, 25, was barefaced, having whizzed off a two-month growth for a TV commercial.

"I can scramble better now," said Namath. "I'm a little lighter...
