Sandy has temporarily left her football-player date, who has all his brains in his biceps according to Travolta, to feed the juke box. Her real intent, of course, is to lure Danny, who is sitting with his slippery friends at another table. Anyway, Danny manages to wander over to the juke box not-so-very casually and stammer out some excuse for his bad behavior. Olivia tries her best to act indifferent, but then...

...income is down 11 % because of depressed prices for sugar and paper, two big G&W divisions. The company's enormous long-term debt of $1.1 billion must be serviced, at high cost. A sizable investment portfolio that includes stakes in such companies as Simmons (mattresses), Wurlitzer (juke boxes), Amfac (sugar, hotels, processed food), Esquire (magazines) and a Japanese maker of coin-operated machines has added little to G & W's fortunes...
