...growl, sing, tinkle, purr and blast in a way unmatched by any other organ. A one-of-a-kind creation built by the Rodgers Organ Co. of Hillsboro, Ore., the new instrument is the most up-to-date and expensive electronic organ in the world. Carrying a price tag of $200,000, it took 23 months to design, construct and install. The finished product fairly bulges with audio-oscillators, sine-wave generators, filters, printed circuits and multiplex cables, plus enough knobs and controls to furnish the cockpit of a Boeing...
That hope, however, could be counterbalanced by the white albatross of the Nixon administration. The Washington Post tagged Lugar "President Nixon's favorite mayor," an epithet which has stubbornly stuck. Lugar was the only big city mayor to serve as a surrogate speaker for the president in 1972 and his expertise in urban affairs (he defeated former New York mayor John Lindsay to become president of the National League of Cities) made him a logical presidential consultant on city issues.

It also looks much the worse for wear, and its struggle to wring a few guffaws out of trampled material is something no one should have to watch...
...Haven the poor, bright, pint-sized Midwesterner felt left out, though his classmates were dazzled by his ability to make instant anagrams out of any name that was mentioned ("Alec Guinness" became "genuine class"). Along with French and German, he acquired a great many cultural tag lines and thriftily squirreled them away in the back of his mind for future use. Cavett is certainly the only comedian extant who could say, "Where did we get this obsession that exegesis saves? God forgive that pun." Cavett was of course show biz obsessed. He met Carrie Nye McGeoy, his future wife, while...
