Reliable old Character Actor Walter Brennan stars in a folksy situation comedy called The Real McCoys, and OSS will chronicle the World War II cloak-and-dagger exploits of General "Wild Bill" Donovan's men. ABC will offer...
...huge (more than 9,000,000 words) "history of people." Unpublished and unfinished, Gould's An Oral History of Our Time was illegibly scribbled in hundreds of nickel notebooks, which he abandoned in the cellars and closets of his friends. Surviving on handouts and "air, selfesteem, cigarette butts, cowboy [black, no sugar] coffee, fried-egg sandwiches and ketchup," frail (5 ft. 4 in., about 95 Ibs.) Joe Gould sold (for a drink) entertainment (lectures, poetry recitals, epithets) to any willing bar patron. Gould had no known relatives but many friends, including Poet E. E. Cummings, Artist Don Freeman, Writers...
