...semicircle atop 1,532-ft. Cadillac Mountain, which is the first place in the continental U.S. to be struck each morning by the rays of the rising sun. They stamped their feet and clapped their hands to the music of a fiddler and two accordionists to keep warm in the predawn, 35° F. chill. Then, at approximately 5:15 a.m., they intoned, "Wah taho, wah taho, wah taho" (arise, arise, arise), a Zuni Indian incantation.

Somehow Charisse managed to write a three-minute "classical" dance number into her contract, and in the middle...
...First Buchwald, then Plimpton--now me!! You know, there really was a time in my life when I didn't get any respect. Ed Sullivan used to bring me on as the warm up act for Topo Gigio. When Parade magazine printed "My Favorite Jokes," they ran them in the Obituaries column. My mother-in-law is so fat that...
