Something is wrong. First the Mets traded Tommie Agee, the man with the most quadrophonic name in organized baseball. People used to come from miles away to listen to the 12-year old squirts who formed the core of the Mets' support bellow: "Ay! Gee! Ay! Gee!" The Mets traded him because he was supposed to be a troublemaker. He and his roommate, Cleon Jones, were supposed to be fomenting revolution.

Torch style, Carol aimed a few of the numbers directly at an impassive Norman in a stageside seat: The Man I Love and My Heart Belongs to Daddy. She also sang Gee Baby, Ain 't I Good to You after acknowledging to Male Chauvinist Mailer that it was really a man's song.
