...tried a re-adaptation. In Philadelphia, Holly came off as a tough $50-a-shot hooker instead of a sweet $50-a-shot hooker. By the time the show reached Boston, Holly had become a nice young thing who might just shack up with anybody for nothing. Worse, Michael Kidd's choreography was more kitsch than kick, while the songs of Bob Merrill scarcely topped the success of his 1953 hit, Doggie in the Window. Holly, wrote Boston Globe Critic Kevin Kelly, was "a multiset disaster, a straightforward musical flop...
...Trinity Church was put on the road to prosperity when an early colonial governor of New York gave its rector title to all wrecks and whales washed ashore on Manhattan. Early communicants included Alexander Hamilton, who is buried in the graveyard, George Washington, and even Pirate William Kidd, whose affiliation is commemorated by a plaque in the luxuriously carpeted vestry room. Later, such wealthy worshipers as John Jacob Astor contributed more marketable assets than whales to Trinity. Today, a vestry that includes New York Stock Exchange President Keith Funston and George A. Murphy, board chairman of the Irving Trust...
...Jean-Claude Killy, 23, and Marielle Goitschel, 21, the French were heavy favorites at Portillo. U.S. hopes ran high, too, for a team that Coach Bob Beattie said was in the "best condition ever." Vermont's Billy Kidd, 23, was back in form, recovered from an ankle injury that had forced him out of competition after a series of spectacular victories in Europe last winter. And the rest of the U.S. squad had been training steadily for a full year - at a cost of some...
Competition had not even begun at Portillo when disaster hit the U.S. team. Zipping down a slope at 60 m.p.h. in practice, Kidd lost his balance, skittered 200 yds., and snapped both bones in his right leg. Colorado's Jim Barrows injured a knee and an elbow, had to be scratched from the men's downhill; Idaho's Walter Falk fell during the race and suffered a concussion. The bright young star of the women's team, California's 16-year-old Penny McCoy, did give the U.S. one medal - its only one -when...
...daring Dane beat Denmark's state radio monopoly with Europe's first illegal maritime transmitter way back in 1958. He was copied by a handful of Swedes, Norwegians and Dutchmen, but it was left to the bold and buccaneering nation that fathered Sir Francis Drake and Captain Kidd to make pirate radios into big business and a national British pastime to boot. From creaky ferries, minesweepers, freighters and abandoned World War II antiaircraft towers just outside the three-mile limit, impudent stations such as Radio Caroline and Radio London blast out the siren songs of the Beatles...
