...waning days of 1967, a noxious atmosphere pervades the nation's capital. "We are in danger of losing our sense of confidence in each other," warned Massachusetts' Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy. Said another Democratic Senator of the mood on Capitol Hill: "It's a tiredness, a frustration, an uneasiness. It's a war with no end AP in sight. It's a racial and urban problem with no end in sight. It's a fiscal problem with no end in sight. Maybe if we all get out of here, go home and listen...
...home and sanctuary of some 800 Montagnard refugees who 14 months ago fled from life under the Viet Cong in the surrounding countryside, where they had been forced to work in virtual slavery as farmers and porters.

Unlike the Vienna Philharmonic, though, which was founded the same year and forced to suspend operations several times in the 1850s, the New York...
...mainly for a greater share of the market by getting endorsements from notorious gunslingers. Lou and Winifred start lowering their eyes and necklines in his direction, but the Badman brothers start raising hell. In a grand-horse-opera finale, everyone gets plugged and expires in a heap on boot hill. Infusions of Kola Loca magically resurrect them all, whereupon Joe, Horace, Doug and Lou discover that they all have matching wrist moles the size of a silver dollar. The reunited family promptly announces a merger and invents a compromise drink called Whiskola, while Joe and Winifred happily clop off into...
