...woman behind the name began to grow old. Polly Thomson died. The travels ceased, the books stopped coming, and instead of the aging legend in the newspapers and newsreels, Helen Keller was seen as a young girl again in William Gibson's The Miracle Worker, which told of her early days with Teacher when she was rescued from what she called the "no-world." The play and the motion picture brought alive for yet another generation the example of Helen Keller's conquest of adversity.

...telephone rang. It was De Gaulle. He had to get away, De Gaulle said. For two nights, he had not slept, and now, in De Gaulle's words, he "couldn't see clearly."

Bruce, who was the ocelot in Honey West. Rhubarb, who gave that never-to-be-forgotten performance as the cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's. And all the young stars of tomorrow: Willie the bear, soon to make his debut...
...awards ceremonies understandably were filled with emotion, as the horse agents, ocelot agents, bear agents, a macaw agent and the chicken agents assembled with their clients and trainers to receive the big news. To Punkin, the glamorous raven who has been seen in TV's Lassie as well as many pictures, went the special Craven Award. This does not mean that Punkin was a craven raven; the prize, which goes to supporting players, honors the late Richard C. Craven, who was the American Humane Association's first Hollywood director.
