...Yeah, little things keep cropping back. Like an onion, you know, two days later. Warren Beatty. I shouldn't tell you this but I will-Warren Beatty had his lawyers draft a letter to Esquire, not threatening libel or anything, but asking for a correction. It had eleven points-eleven things he objected to. But the funny part is they were all stupid things, like he didn't really eat as many hot dogs as I said...
...jacket cover is repulsive. It resembles the pop psychedelia used to sell Monkees' mysticism to 14-year-olds. If you bothered to decode the words "Incredible String Band," you still wouldn't buy--for fear of getting the New Christy Minstrels.

Grated raw by the rough edge of the French President's tongue, they are kindled with an ardent wish to divide Charles de Gaulle into three parts...
...feet one-inch tall and 230 Ibs. wide, and there he was, blubbering like an onion peeler right out where everybody could see him. Pro football really can make strong men cry, and Washington Redskins Linebacker Sam Huff's turn came as he announced his retirement after a brutal twelve-year career, during which he made All-Pro five times. Now 33, Defenseman Huff (TIME Cover, Nov. 30, 1959) went from West Virginia to eight years of stardom with the New York Giants, playing on five championship teams, before he was traded to Washington four years ago. "Everyone...
