...example of beginner's luck in Broadway songwriting history, Brooks's simplistic tunemaking managed to stick in your head ("I wan-na be a pro-du-cer") in a way that richer and more ambitious Broadway scores don't. The numbers in Young Frankenstein seem more generic, off-the-rack items: a tongue-in-cheek buddy duet for the doctor and Igor, "Together Again (for the First Time)"; a Dietrich send-up for Frau Blucher, "He Vas My Boyfriend"; a predictable parody of '30s dance crazes, "Transylvania Mania...
...their barbaric craft off the beaten track, but lately brazen killers like Teddy's are notching up their bloody game, moving closer to residential areas and placing critters of all kinds squarely in their sights. A few months ago, a mammoth white-tailed deer was found slaughtered--its antler rack carved out of its head--in the Pinery, a cushy bedroom community a few miles southeast of Denver.

But on the cover of WWN you'd see a headline so farfetched that it would instantly stick in your mind and be impossible to remove, like the ice pick in Trotsky's skull...
...Designed like a sandbag fortress rising over a garden of inert land mines, armored vehicles and the occasional palm tree, the museum contains a display of Hizballah weapons and tactics, including the scale recreation of a front-line bunker, complete with computer workstation, prayer rug and dish rack. Throw in a lava lamp and it could be a college dorm room...
