...York's new master of games also showed up on Central Park's Mall to introduce Batman and Robin and dutifully wore his Bat tie. "It unfolds and becomes a cape," he told the awed gaggle of youngsters. He was also on hand for the Beatles at Shea Stadium, stopped off to buy a new Honda Hawkeye for faster mobility through traffic, and was ad-libbing at an outdoor park fashion show, backed by the blasting rock 'n' roll of a Yale combo known as the Five-Card Stud, when he got a call from...

But the great Playwright of this ever-beginning, never-ending plot, the Master Director who so skillfully stages this tightly woven, disconnected spectacle of tragic nonsense, has planned it otherwise." Or at Jolson's (whom he disliked intensely): "I am proud to have basked in the sunlight of his greatness, to have been part of his time, and to have only...
