...late 1920s. Charlie Chaplin was stubborn, arbitrary, and once bet $100 that "talkies" would never last in Hollywood. Both were part of the galaxy that surrounded Actress Marion Davies during her 32-year reign as mistress to Newspaper Tycoon William Randolph Hearst. Davies' recollections, which were tape-recorded in 1951 but locked up until her death a decade later at 64, were only recently rediscovered and published as a memoir entitled The Times We Had. Hearst, who was 58 when he discovered Marion as a chorus girl of 16, was "the kindest, most innocent, naive person...

At about the four, a tackler leapt at McInally-- McInally still doesn't know who it was, although he has seen the vide tape replay--and made the stop. The impact broke McInally's leg, but he fell into the end zone for the touchdown; and later, after he was carried off the field on a stretcher, he would tell reporters that the experience had been a great thrill.
