...child, in the language of the time, she would have been considered uneducable. Zackheim contends that Mileva, unable to place the little girl for adoption or send her to an orphanage, left her with her parents at their home in Serbia's rural Vojvodina region on the fertile Danube plain...
...while waiting for the video to start. Too bad their programs weren't half as good as their marketing pitch. The daily news show was supposed to be funny, but it wasn't.

Refreshingly, there was no one lead singer or star to this show--the guitar and bass were mic-ed equally, the drums and Frisbay's scat were given their due. In fact all of Frisbay's many instruments, including trombone, keyboards, flute and his crooning voice...
