...Just to make Guelph-Ghibelline history more complicated, though the Guelphs were defenders of the Papacy, Ghibellines of the Empire, Guelph Otto IV was elected Holy Roman Emperor...
...bought a farm on a lake not far from Battle Creek to make a summer home for underprivileged children. For the same sort of children he is helping Battle Creek build a $500,000 Ann J. Kellogg school (Ann Jeanette Kellogg was his mother).

In 1980, however, musical comedies will still be full of jokes that have been doing service for years; songs will not have improved; heroines will be coy and leading men pompous. These suggestions spectators will absorb from De Sylva, Brown & Henderson...
