...have a wide range of stations to turn to on your car radio. For mindless bubble-gum noise, there's WRKO, 680 on the AM dial, and WMEX at 1510. You know the style: abrasive disk jockeys, mind-numbing disco, "free" give aways, etc. For those into classical music, WCRB-AM at 1330 and FM at 102.5 is the place to turn. Boston has also been blessed with an excellent jazz station, WBUR, 90.9 FM, run by students at Boston University. If you're into country and western, WCOP at 1150 AM is probably your best...
Brando and Tarita are still good friends. Says Marlon, "I remember being furious with her because she fed so much candy and gum-so bad for the teeth-to the baby. She said to me, 'What can I do?

With one stroke of the pen, the moribund Braves had a bright new look. The signee was a handsome, 30-year-old, bubble-gum-chewing pitcher named Andy Messersmith, a free spirit and free agent whose victorious legal battle against baseball's "reserve clause" was reshaping the entire sport...
...Entry. By the numbers, at least, this forced separation has been a success. Since The Bionic Woman first appeared in mid-January it has become, along with ABC's sitcom Laverne and Shirley, the TV season's hottest late entry. Big with the bubble-gum crowd that also dotes on Lee Majors, it has also drawn a sizable adult audience stuck on Lindsay Wagner's sexy looks. Her show has consistently been among the top 15 in the ratings, although Majors' program often edges it out by a point...
