...only knew how I'd been drowning, how I'd considered that I'd gone down for the third time long ago, how I've kept thrashing around in the water simply because I still felt the impulse to fight back and the tug of a distant shore, how I sat in a rage that night with the ... burden of your name pounding in my brain ... and out of what instinct did I decide to write to you? It was a gamble on an equation constructed in delirium, and it was right...
...Federal Maritime Commission. But old habits die hard, especially for a veteran newspaper hand like Mrs. Helen Delich Bentley, 45, for 16 years maritime editor of the Baltimore Sun. So there she was last week, still at work pending Senate confirmation, dictating a story over ship-to-shore radio from the mammoth ice-breaking tanker S.S.

In the cool evening air, as evident as the sweet odor of marijuana, hung an almost palpable yearning for some sort of transcendent...
...Marx, Bill Cosby, Romy Schneider, Lucille Ball, Phyllis Diller, and Rowan and Martin. Bishop trotted out such West Coast Establishmentarians as Ruth Gordon, George Burns, Tony Bennett, Milton Berle, Eddie Fisher, Rick (né Ricky) Nelson and Ed Ames. Griffin went for such familiar names as Woody Allen, Dinah Shore, and Sonny and Cher. But Griffin also offered a few surprises: Max Yasgur (the New York dairy farmer who rented his land to the Woodstock Music and Art Fair) and Billie Young (who as Penelope Ashe "wrote" Naked Came the Stranger...
