...Loved by "150 million of the Great Unwashed" who knew him on the air, the great man was loathed by those who knew him in the flesh. His wife never gave him a divorce, but let him stray at the end of a long leash. Among other places, he strayed into the boudoir of one of his singers (Julie London). Making love to him, she says, "was my way of paying a premium on my job insurance." By the time the great man's portrait is filled in by his pressagent ("I was paid to work...

"Dogs that are tied up and fenced continuously will become excited and grieved," warned grieved, excited Attorney Philip Rossman, the Denver dog's best friend. "On behalf of Rusty, my old Irish setter," the Denver Post's veteran...
...politicians gave tongue on the issue, but City Council Candidate Frank Gold came out flatly for dogs and against leashes. "I am not afraid," said Gold boldly. At the election he was defeated, and the leash law was passed by a solid majority, 55,013 to 39,917. Last week, adding impost to injury, the Denver Health Department proposed a tax on pet food to pay for the law's enforcement. Mayor Quigg Newton quickly killed the idea, but bristling dog owners held a protest meeting to plan repeal of the leash law at the August city election...
