...veteran players - even though they are working out on their own - figure to report out of shape, will have missed valuable coaching. If it lasts into the season, owners may play with teams composed entirely of nonunion rookies. Or they may not play at all: Baltimore Colts Owner Carroll Rosenbloom has gone so far as to order his front office to work out plans for repaying 50,000 season-ticket holders. In either case, there is genuine concern for the damage a protracted strike may do to the image of the sport. "This league, the players must remember, didn...
That afternoon Lyndon jetted once more to Atlantic City, motored to the white stucco ocean-front villa that he and his family had taken over for the week from Hess Rosenbloom, brother of the owner of the Baltimore Colts. He entered Convention Hall after the eulogies of John F. Kennedy, Sam Rayburn and Eleanor Roosevelt had ended.

The warning is hardly necessary. Responsible for signing most of the guests on Paar's show, O'Malley is well aware of the rules of the game. Forbidden are "Lindy" comedians-the brash, Berle-type gagsters given to dialect jokes and continuous excitement. Says Paar: "I'm not interested in comedians named Joey or Jackie-no rock 'n' roll, no jazz...
...moments after 1 a.m. the lights go down, and Jack is surrounded by exuberant writers. "Rosenbloom was great," says one. "Douglas killed them," chimes in another. Jack says: "I thought me was pretty good, too." He wipes off his makeup, grabs his briefcase and pushes his way to his car-he never joins the rest of the cast at the corner bar. At home in Bronxville. where Miriam is waiting up, he has a cup of soup and a beer. At 3:15 a.m., after reading two scripts that Writer Douglas has put together for future shows, Paar turns...
