...television is a window to the world. Parents should control, limit and regulate television exactly as much as they control, limit and regulate other things the child does-like taking lessons, like eating, like being outside." Indeed, too many parents are like the Man in the Yellow Hat in Margret and Hans Rey's Curious George books -- we send our young charges off to the television set with only the admonition, "Don't get into trouble." And, of course, they find...
...Monroe's Seven Year Itch dress and one of the Citizen Kane "Rosebud" sleds--is in immediate need of expansion; it displays only a tenth of the boots and booty Reynolds has collected from other auctions and such friends as Ginger Rogers and Cyd Charisse, Ann Miller and Ann-Margret. Debbie even pays tribute to an ex-friend: in the theater is a Cleopatra headdress worn by Elizabeth Taylor, who seduced and married Debbie's first husband, Eddie Fisher. It's all grist for Debbie's sweet obsession; she now has some 3,000 pieces. "Passionate collectors," she notes...

...with topical humor, set in a New Orleans restaurant-bar. For CBS he is producing Nashville X's and O's, a nighttime soap about the lives of ex-wives of country singers. ABC has ordered The Gospel According to St. Ann, a four-hour mini-series starring Ann-Margret as a self-made sports mogul. For NBC he is developing a Tom Clancy mini-series and several sitcoms, including a comic version of Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte and a Love, American Style with animals...
...took a dying strain of vaudeville and turned it into a highly particular Vegas style. Gamblers from Duluth and Atlanta came to see only-in-Vegas entertainments: Sinatra, Streisand, stand-up comedians, the trash rococo of Liberace, both flaunting and denying his gayness; hot-ticket singer-dancers like Ann-Margret; and shows with whiffy themes that existed as mere pretexts for bringing out brigades of suggestively costumed young women jiggling through clouds of pastel-colored smoke as overamped pop tunes blared. It was cheesy glamour, to be sure, but it was rare and one of a kind...
