...also want to thank Carol Channing for introducing Dolly on Broadway way back in January 1964, and for her 1,271 other glorious performances here in town and all over these United States. Thanks go also to Mary Martin for her Dollys in Dallas, the Midwest, on the Coast, Viet Nam, London and Tokyo (Haro, Dori!). A hearty kiss goes also to Ginger Rogers for those 18 swell months on Broadway after Carol went on tour, and looking to the future-as I am wont-for sharing the forthcoming two-shows-a-night binge with Dorothy in Vegas. How about...

The school simply shops in the contemporary art market, where top-quality art can often be bought for relatively modest prices...
...Angeles Dodgers, struck out twelve of the 13 men he faced-and never heard from the Dodgers again. The Angels finally signed him for $5,000 (which he blew on a new car), and he trotted off to Illinois-Iowa's Quad-Cities Angels in the Class A Midwest League, where he won 13 games, lost five and posted an ERA of 2.79. After that, it was all downhill. Twice, the Angels called him up; his record for those two stints in the big leagues shows 14 starts and one finish (which he lost 2-0), three victories...
