...catalogue this year will undoubtedly be Filene's 52-page opus. The Boston-based specialty-store chain has enlivened its book with a plot about a working girl and Truelove, her white Persian cat. The cat's name, the heart-and-holly symbol it wears as a pendant and white cats are scattered profusely throughout the text and pictures, even the margins. (Fifty-one heart-and-holly symbols appear on one bikini panty.) Next week, the reader who comes up with the exact number of True-loves, cats and symbols will be awarded a $10,000 gift certificate...

As he presses on with his list, we see Ophelia, sitting at his feet, silently mouthing the words along with him, having obviously heard the advice a dozen times; Polonius notices the mockery and gives her a playful cuff. Doctrice also doubles amusingly as the First Gracedigger...
...knew Sammy was onstage in Nashville, with Minnie Pearl, 69. Says Davis: "I really felt welcome. We're all family." He even brought along his own wardrobe: six huge diamond rings, two diamond-and-gold bracelets, a gold wristwatch, a gold choker and a gold-and-diamond pendant with his initials on it. No trouble picking him out of the crowd in the cornfield...
