Anderson's music has infiltrated the public ear most persuasively through television's Late Show, its theme music is from a mesmeric Anderson work known as Syncopated Clock ("Everybody does tick-tock pieces, but nobody ever gave them a syncopated twist before"). Anderson, 53, writes what he calls "concert music with a pop quality"-compositions that rely heavily on acoustical effects and rarely run longer than three minutes. Most popular Anderson concert piece last season was Sleigh Ride, a jog-trotting exercise complete with sleigh bells (jingled by a percussionist) the crack of a whip (two hinged pieces...
...private (he left as a lieutenant colonel), divorced his wife Bobo when five years of separation and litigation ended in a whopping $5,500,000 settlement, one of the largest on record. Now, following older brother Nelson's lead, Winthrop is jumping into GOPolitics, but with a characteristic twist. As newly elected Republican National Committeeman and party leader of Arkansas, where he has headed the Industrial Development Commission since 1955, he confidently expects to turn a stubbornly Democratic state into two-party territory...

That Bobby Kennedy is just treacherous, that's what he is. I don't trust him and he don't trust me." A hurt tone crept into Patterson's voice. "To say that I couldn...
...moved north in 1939 to a beach colony of squatters at Dollarton, near Vancouver, B.C., and married again, this time an actress-turned-mystery-story writer, Margerie Bonner (The Last Twist of the Knife). The newly weds happily roughed it with coal-oil lamps, driftwood fuel and an outdoor privy. Lowry, a barrel-chested man with piercing blue eyes, drank, swam, drank, sang bawdy Spanish ditties to his own ukulele accompaniment, and drank. When the cottage caught fire, he was badly burned rescuing the entire manuscript of Under the Volcano, which came to be the one and only literary success...
