...pushing 50, but what the hell. Let's say I've got five good years left. Why don't I enjoy them?" And Henny Youngman was asking if any one had heard that "Dean Martin sent a telegram to Frank saying, 'I've got Scotch older than she is.' " For the weekend, the Southern Breeze dropped anchor off the Kennedy compound near Hyannis Port. Frank had been there before and, as befitted the courtesies due one clan chieftain from another, his first move was to pay a courtesy call on old Joe Kennedy. They...
...same time, the Sharja royal family was assembled by the British and reportedly shown photographs of the Sheik engaging in what were described as "indecent acts." In addition, 35 cases of Scotch whisky were conveniently found in his palace cellar, thus proving him a bad Moslem as well as an indiscreet amorist. The royal family got the message. Denouncing his "flagrant misbehavior," it deposed Sakr, installing his pro-British cousin, Khaled bin Hamad al-Kasimi, 35, in his place.

Fortune, for one: his income from racing this year will top $230,000, and Edington Mains is busily in the black too, producing barley for Scotch-whisky distillers, sheep for wool, and cattle for slaughter. He has his Scottish sheep dog, Sweep, who pines for him while he is away-and his flaxen-haired girl friend, Sally Stokes, who travels with him and tends a stop watch in the pits...
...face would probably have made his name familiar the world over. Its features are a bounderish British blend of sad sack and pukka sahib: busby brows that shoot up in startled innocence or beetle down with Mac the Knife malevolence; lugubrious eyes rocketing around like apoplectic billiard balls; a Scotch-sodden thatch of mustache, and, of course, those two front teeth, gaping wide as Becher's Brook. Wherever he takes a stroll, from Soho to Sunset Boulevard, Terry-Thomas is stopped by little old ladies who ask him to smile. When he obliges, they always exclaim...
