...dual between football heroes Richmond Flowers of Tennessee and Earl "the Pearl" McCullouch of Southern Cal in the 60-yard high hurdles produced more excitement than even the most optimistic fans had anticipated.

Fox is now seeking a legal gambit to foreclose on Dolly!, but Merrick is unflapped. "After Pearl, it'll be Liberace," he mused. "In that...
Cold as a Coot. In making visibility "the primary function of the King," says De Gramont, Louis XIV reduced the royal drama to pageantry-style's exquisite confession of meaninglessness. Even the King's defecation became a public act staged on a stool decorated with mother-of-pearl landscapes...
