...that year's Disney feature "Peter Pan," where he voiced Captain Hook, and co-starred on Broadway in Cole Porter's "Can-Can"; get the original cast CD: his rendition of "If You Love Me Truly" is a cynical gem. As Dr. T. he has the film's fastest, dizziest, Seussiest song, "Do-Mi-Do Duds" ("do" and "mi" for the notes on the scale), as he dresses for what he believes is his greatest triumph. Let's go out by singing along, and if you don't know the tune, make up your...

When their leader, Manfred Ramminger, inquired at the Düsseldorf airport about the best way to get a shipment to Moscow, KLM suggested air freight and Lufthansa assured him that nobody at the German customs office would bother about the contents...
...Wall Street continues to woof happily on its financial looms, if the Peking and Hanoi carpetmakers can be taught to weave a softer warp, and if the Soviets don't throw their bearskin rug across more frontiers, then 1969 will be the busiest, dizziest sewing bee in European vacation history," announces the introduction to Fielding's new Guide, published last month. In that same hortatory fashion, Fielding fusses over his readers' clothes ("A sport jacket on an adult is considered improper at the leading restaurants"), warns them about con men ("No matter how dazzling the offer, puh-LEEZE...
