...aspires to break into show biz, but acts in skin flicks. What Aristotle would call the complication is simplicity itself: Benny, who is about to lose his job, has a chance to put in a fix with the head of his union. For $350 and a case of Scotch he can get a job in a more fashionable eatery. Should he sell his priceless autographs to buy himself a shot at new celebrities...
...flavor-thin whisky that they thought would appeal to modern tastes. A brave bevy of brands entered the lists Royal American, Galaxy, Honey-Go Lite, Free Spirit, Northern Light and others.

...Cleo, like pure-malt Scotch and the metric system, is only beginning to catch on. She and Johnny are scheduled to give a concert in April at Manhattan's Carnegie Hall; that appearance will be followed next fall by a month-long American tour. For both events, Cleo manages to be her own worst promoter. "When I hear myself, I don't like it," she says. "I can't get out what I hear in my head. What comes out is mellow and soft; yet what I try to achieve is an 'edge...
