Davis wasn't as overpowering as Clemens, but just as effective. He did not allow a hit until Benzinger opened the fifth with a hard one-hopper that hit Davis in the right knee. The ball bounced away for a single...
Douglas went on to consolidate his reputation as a heel, both onscreen (Champion, Detective Story) and off. "Now that you've got a big hit," Columnist Hedda Hopper once told him, "you've become a real son of a bitch." Douglas corrected her: "I was always a son of a bitch. You just never noticed before." He attempts to hold that title with a series of vengeful recollections. Douglas salutes Stanley Kubrick, then recalls that the director was willing to take full credit for the script of a blacklisted writer. John Huston was "one of the most talented...
...look closer, be yours. Fischl is a true American realist, but he works at a pitch of psychological truth !

Among the most expensive: Thomas Wilmer Dewing's Lady in White (worth $750,000) and John White Alexander's Alethea ($660,000). Says Loraine Pack-Liebmann, a Manhattan art dealer: "The kid did well. Many of the works he has bought have appreciated substantially in value." Example: Severin Roesen's Vase of Flowers in Footed Glass Bowl with Bird's Nest, purchased for $175,000, may now be worth $250,000, a potential profit...
