...novice, though not an unknown, running for the West Virginia house of delegates, made the biggest stir in a statewide primary that-almost incidentally-included races for a U.S. Senate seat and five Congressional seats. The show stealer: Anti-Poverty Worker John D. ("Jay") Rockefeller IV, 28, who earlier this year broke family tradition by becoming a Democrat, already is being touted as a future West Virginia Governor. Young Rockefeller, nephew of New York's Republican Governor Nelson and Arkansas' G.O.P. Gubernatorial Candidate Winthrop, was the biggest vote getter in a Kanawha County field of 60 candidates...
...seems astonishing that marihuana was virtually unknown in this country before the 1930's. In a short time it spread north to urban centers where it became popular among jazz musicians, homosexuals, and criminals.

I can vouch for the accuracy of these statements because it was I who played with General Franco that...

Yet, illogically enough, at numerous other sound stages and locations around Great Britain, the same picture is also in the works under four other directors, and starring, variously, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen and a mesomorphic unknown called Terence Cooper. Even more implausible, the name Niven is never mentioned in any of the scripts. What's even nuttier is that David him self is addressed as Sir James Bond, and Sellers, Allen and Cooper are referred to as either James or Jimmy Bond...
