...that's Hello, Dolly, Irene--there's certainly a statute of limitations on those. There's got to be. And that kind of old-fashioned musical is not doing as well as it used to. I think if Mame opened today instead of six years ago it wouldn't succeed. I hope I'm right, because I don't like that kind of theater. Who said it all has to be "a pretty girl is like a melody"? That's why we did Follies, to say that's all over...
...best, although it was marred last Friday night by a great deal of spluttering and spittle in enunciation.

Asked Church...
...overwhelming broad-based neighborhood support for Frank Duehay and the courageous candidacy of Steve Buckley, a member of a longtime name appeared on none of the "liberal" slates that year, and the clear majority of his votes originated outside the traditional liberal constituency. Rather, the CC '75 effort did succeed in preventing the deterioration in the City Council which would almost certainly have otherwise resulted; consequently, rent control is probably safe and Jim Sullivan will likely stay on as City Manager. Finally, several hundred "excess" liberal votes (a far cry from 1973) helped elect AI Vellucci, an outcome which will...
