Fats played piano like a jovially lavish host, and the evening is like a rollicking party-a "rent party," perhaps, that Harlem Depression phenomenon where guests put a small sum in the household kitty and jazzmen improvised from midnight to dawn. There are 27 numbers in all and they compose an ebullient cantata of urban night music. The audience could almost sing along with Honeysuckle Rose, Mean to Me, Keepin' Out of Mischief Now, and that powerful elegy to black sorrow, Black and Blue...
Mass production of the miracle chip has already made possible home computer systems that sell for less than $800?and prices will continue to fall. Many domestic devices that use electric power may be computerized.

While the head of the household goes out to bring home the bacon (only figuratively so, because gnomes are strict vegetarians), his wife stays home and does housework...
...chap who put an eye patch on the Hathaway shirt man and made Commander Whitehead a household beard consistently heeds the advice he has dispensed for decades. In the Confessions he warned never to be boring, and to repeat that previous campaign-the earlier book was intended to drum up business, and did-would thus be a sin. Blood, Brains and Beer also adheres to other cardinal principles of admaking: the straight story, smoothly told, sells stuff best; it is wrong to lie, but feel free to omit; humor should not be overdone (it is a bit too scarce...
