...Parker, said Elvis was too busy, instead touted Sands, who had traveled with Parker's road shows across the cow country. Kraft producers in New York flew Tommy in from Hollywood, where he was working on a TV show called Hometown Jamboree, and were pleased with his lush, throaty voice and easy acting style. After his job as the Singin' Idol, he began playing the title role in real life...
There, while herds of spotted mouse deer grazed on the lush green lawns, Sukarno summoned the country's military leaders and the slightly confused members of the 24-man Emergency Cabinet he had selected to lead the country out of chaos.

Churchill argues bitterly that a kind of journalistic Gresham's Law is at work; that honest newspapering is being drowned in a "deep and lush and fast-flowing river of pornography and crime." Williams disagrees. The average tabloid, says he, offers "neither worse nor better'' entertainment than many movies, TV shows or books; the "whole idea of what a free press ought to do and be" is constantly changing.
