...telephone, is still fond of it as a basic tool. He would call a friend and "try to break him up," making tapes of the conversations. The tapes were so funny that local radio stations bought them as "ratings boosters" to help raise the level of disk-jockey programs. On last year's Emmy Award program his Lincoln phone call stopped the show...
...then most of the balloons had been popped, and some $125,000 had been collected. The show seemed over, but Frank Sinatra, who walked out with Starlet Prowse, could not resist an encore.

Counsel Robert Lishman leaked the news that ex-Jockey Alan Freed, who himself was spun off the ABC turntables for payola (TIME. Nov. 30), had impugned Clark's purity in closed session. Despite everything, at least one group was willing to stick by its boyman: the senior class of Philadelphia's suburban Upper Darby High School wanted to present Clark with a certificate of honor last week "because he talks to us like we are people." But Clark, talking to Congressmen almost as if they...
