The Era -- Day By Day

[Fading Fast]

That Mr. Harrington is exactly that -- note the resemblance. 1970s Pat Harrington was sometimes billed at the start of his career as "Pat Harrington Jr." Harrington Sr. was a Broadway character actor of long standing, who dabbled a bit in early TV, usuallyin wisecracking second-banana-type roles. Junior learned his lessons well.

Rosa might be a bit careworn, but she and Bink are about the same age. "She t'inks she's good lookin'," snorts Miss Scanlan. "But I know she shaves awff t'at place inna middle wheh t' eyebrows come t'getteh!"

If Rosa steals Solly from Bink, Bink is going to lose her mind. Good setup, Lizzie.

I like Rickenbackers, not so much for the design (which I do love) but because they just work for me (I realize the ergonomics don’t work for everyone).


They haven’t strayed very far in their design, and have continually incorporated improvements. Still a family-owned company, still made in the US. Left to right, ‘83 4003 (with interesting double layer of binding, black over white), ‘92 4003 fretless (which I play 95% of the time), ‘15 4003.

The Gabriel brothers attic draft dodge routine and FBI hapless pursuit all seem farcical
nonsense when viewed from a Vietnam War veteran perspective. I had considered Canada;
only momentarily, but went in for induction. Carter's blanket amnesty and the subsequent veteran discrimination after discharge still raise doubts. Whatever the Second World War attitude, these
dodgers survive with their conscience as judge for better or worse.

Terry looks to have the drop on Slits. Afterwards, delivers a windup pitch to Dragon Gal.
Toss in some Macau Mah Jong and a Gone With The Wind dinner date back in Hong Kong.
Wine and dine her with a suite at the Peninsula where the shrimp with coconut sauce is superb
before a sirloin grilled perfectly medium rare.
