...reckless private conduct over the years kept him in political hot water. His first two marriages-to Showgirl Isabel Washington and Jazz Pianist Hazel Scott-reflected Powell's affinity for glamour. His conquests were many. Some, like Yvette and his former-beauty-queen secretary, Corinne Huff, were even put on his staff payroll and paid $20,000 a year. In 1963 Mrs. Esther James, a Harlem widow, won a $46,500 defamation judgment against Powell, who on TV called her a "bag woman" for gambling payoffs. For nearly five years he managed to avoid payment, partly by staying...
...Member of Parliament. In Commons, Courtney seized on the dangers of Soviet spying as one of his big issues. That irritated the KGB.

Playboy Publisher Hugh Hefner saved the day by placing his personal DC-9 jet, Big Bunny, at Jack's disposal. Heavily sedated, the 18-year-old, 300-lb. animal was hefted aboard and deposited on Hefner's eight-foot elliptical bed as curious Bunnies clustered round.

...uglier mood, hurling bottles and rocks at police and the fringe of the crowd. Fred Waring led everyone into a finale of the Battle Hymn of the Republic as the sky erupted in fireworks over the Potomac.

Like we all felt victory and a united feeling at the end of World War II. Remember? I felt a spiritual uplift. When they raised that big flag...
