Those who tried to stick to the subject very nearly drowned him in glue. "A Gary Cooper is rare, there is only one," recited Poet Audrey Hepburn, "and there will never be another under the sun." Milton Berle risked a hail of hot lead by saying: "Coop got his first Green Stamps from Polly Adler." Carl Sandburg announced that he and Sinatra had founded an organization in Cooper...

" She avoids the common practice of inbreeding her own horses on the ground that it weakens the strain. She often mates two glue-footed platers "We're just looking for a pair of horses with the right traits that will dominate m the offspring," she explains.
