When newsmen swarmed around her, a stewardess offered to break up the impromptu press conference, but Mrs. Hearst declined the favor. Referring to the family's publishing firm, she said with a smile, "We're in the business of harassing people for a living too." Her first reaction on hearing the news about her daughter: "I sat down in a chair and said a silent prayer of thanks. I'm just thankful to God that she's alive." Despite the harsh words Patty had uttered in the past, Mrs. Hearst expected that the reunion would...
...carnage upon atrocity. Black bears were slaughtered at a Michigan garbage dump by tourists with rifles. A gang of rednecks with the latest electronic gear treed a bear, then watched hounds rip it apart. Explained the pack's leader: "We feel that they deserve a chew." A pert stewardess plunked down $500 to "harvest" her first buffalo; then she pointed to the hoofs: "Jim, did I want those for footstools?" In the program's grossest scene, a languorous fallow deer was shot seven times at pointblank range; then a burly rifleman grasped the antlers for his mandatory macho...

Everyone has their love-to-hate choice on the Red Sox, I guess. One might mention that he was recently sued by a stewardess for alleged in flight misconduct but was acquitted. Which sounds like a nasty thing to reveal, but again, one begins to love-to-hate...
...Fascist. To judge by the uniforms worn at Claudius' court, the usurping king is a tin-pot fascist. Robert Burr plays the role like Dean Martin presiding at a "roast"; Andrea Marcovicci plays Ophelia like a stewardess in search of an Upper East Side singles bar; and if Ruby Dee's Gertrude is capable of loving either Claudius or Hamlet, it will certainly be news to them. Only Larry Gates, doubling as Polonius and the First Gravedigger, emerges from this fiasco with a modicum of merit...
