...show business, palship never reigns but it pours. To a very few show folk-Al Jolson, Fanny Brice, Irving Thalberg, Variety Founder Sime Silverman-has gone an uninterrupted outpouring of vocal, tearful affection. This week a new name was added to the roll of comradely love when a clutch of top entertainers, including Bob Hope, Sid Caesar, Rosemary Clooney, Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, Jack Webb and Betty Grable, performed at union minimum rates ($265 each) in a 90-minute NBC telecast in honor of the late Manie Sacks.

The U.S. Olympic Committee had waived a sound rule, but on sound sentiment, to allow Sime to compete in the 200 meters after the same pulled muscle kept him from qualifying at the N.C.A.A. trials. But Sime could not even finish the 100, and slamming his fist against a locker-room door later, he moaned: "What shall I do now? What?" Abilene Christian's Bobby Morrow, perhaps...
