42nd Street. This 1934 movie is the first of the great musicals. Hear the beat--of those dancing feet. Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, all caught up in a story line of the chorus dancer who has to fill in for the star at the out-of-town premier but sorry--not time for stories here, just singing and dancing, including "42nd Street" and "Shuffle Off to Buffalo." Doo-wop-a-wop. I love this musical. See you there--on the avenue I'm takin' you too, 42nd Street...

...final days of debate, the church rained a storm of telegrams upon the legislators. Uncomfortably, Premier Giulio Andreotti's church-backed, minority Christian Democratic government tried to steer clear of the issue with a stance of aloof neutrality. "Everyone remembers that it was abortion that brought down the last government and caused an early election," explained a Cabinet official, "and no party wants to see that happen again." Still-with a careful distinction between government and party-the Christian Democrats dutifully monopolized the final debate making 13 last-ditch speeches against the passage of the bill, then made...
