...Wise, a fastball pitcher with a good strikeout record and a heart-breaking no-hitter until two outs in the ninth when big, very big George Scott, the former Red Sox first baseman who was traded despite his great value, stepped up to the plate, leered above his animal-tooth lovebeads and slammed a home run. He loved taking his revenge. The next player proceeded to hit another homer, and a Boston pitcher's bid for immortality dribbled away down the parking lot of Milwaukee's County Stadium. It might be mentioned that the aforementioned Reggie Cleveland...
...start at the Manhattan Theater Club. So did Mark Medoff (The Wager, When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?). It was New Haven's Long Wharf Theater that introduced the best young British playwrights. Sam Shepard, perhaps the most promising young playwright, had his first success, The Tooth of Crime, at Princeton's McCarter Theater. Joe Papp is right when he says, "When you talk about good times in the theater, you are talking about business being good. There are never really up times if you are serious, because the theater must fight tradition constantly...
...prickly sort of character, a muckraker," made his name in the 1890s in Chicago by wrenching the foul control of the traction-barons, or street-car franchises, off City Hall. And because President William Howard Taft wanted a man who was as "pure as a hound's tooth," as Frank Fisher tells it, to head the Department of the Interior, he went to the provinces and summoned Walter L.

Thurber's portrait remains definitive, but Gill adds amusing embellishments. Once Gill included the Tennysonian phrase "nature, red in tooth and claw" in a "Talk of the Town" item. Ross's notorious innocence in literary matters ("Is Moby Dick the man or the whale?") prompted him to change the reference to "nature, red in claw and tooth." Gill explains as best he can: "His literal-mindedness being what...
After meals, the pooch may have his teeth brushed with Happy Breath toothpaste or a new beef-flavored variety, then go out to be fitted for a hounds-tooth jacket, a gold bracelet, black lace panties, a lame evening gown, top hat and tails, Halloween outfit, caps, booties and pajamas. He may have his coat dyed to make him look younger, or work out on a jog-a-dog machine (at $575) to keep him in shape, or have his portrait painted in oils. There are clip-on diapers for parakeets, hairpieces and false eyelashes for poodles, snoods to keep...
