" The Sage failed (the three partners used to try to raise the payroll for the help by sitting in on a weekly poker game) and Belafonte wangled a four-week...
...restaurants whose names Watson dropped among the items. Possibly because the column rested on that highly dubious journalistic base, Watson at times stretched a grin into a guffaw. "Three noted ex-cons are busy about town putting together a burglar-alarm system," he wrote one day in 1956.
