...monitor indicated that the career-ending nudity was live on the air. (It wasn't.) He did make trouble for himself on New Year's Day 1965, when, annoyed by having to work on a holiday, he impishly instructed kids to tiptoe into their parents' bedroom, take out "green pieces of paper with pictures of guys with beards" and send them to his New York station. The punch line: "And you know what I'm gonna send you? A postcard from Puerto Rico." For that he got suspended. He said that the kids were hipper than his bosses: many sent...

...ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick advising you to "lose the professor clothes." What did you do? Well, it gave me a great excuse to shop. So I went and bought more professional-looking suits, a lot of suits. But I did buy things with bright colors. I bought red suits and green, and had a good time with it. More formal, absolutely.
