...Long Island. The fishing was atrocious. First day's catch was one bass and "two miserable what-nots," one of which attached itself to the Presidential line. Next day's was just as bad. The third day of the cruise, when the President's onetime law partner Basil O'Connor joined the party, there was no fishing at all. Stormbound and anchored off Block Island, the President resigned himself to a press conference. Fourth day, en route back to Hyde...
...baldheaded, energetic Ed McGrady has had more concerns than Madam Perkins. One of them is cash. He started his union career as a pressman on the Boston Herald after he had once acted as a sparring partner for Terence "Terrible Terry" McGovern, and today although he looks 45, he is actually 20 years older.

But old Tom Heath, 84, a few miles away at Setauket, was beyond such amenities. He has been paralyzed since last year...
...folk not only as great troupers but as great pals. When young Jim McIntyre met young Tom Heath in San Antonio in 1874, both had the dust of several trouping years in their nostrils. McIntyre had specialized in buck-&-wing. Heath sang. They were both in need of a partner. They hit it off from the start, learned to settle occasional differences by flipping a coin. By 1880 they had reached Manhattan, did so well on the Bowery that they moved uptown to Tony Pastor's at the unheard-of figure of $150 a week. In The Georgia Minstrels...
