Ferocious Reader. Sandra Dale Dennis was stamped for export almost from her birth on April 27, 1937, in Hastings, Neb.

For those who wonder whatever happened to that angry young hippie, Mort Sahl, Doctor casts him in a cameo part as a square nightclub owner. Even a grain of Sahl adds no flavor to this tasteless trifle...
Died. Sir William Neil Connor, 57, British columnist better known as "Cas sandra," who for 31 years in the London Daily Mirror cut and thrust with fine partiality and fierce wit at everything from Germany to Radio Moscow and Joe McCarthy, plus sports, doctors, dogs, commercial TV and many of its performers; after a long illness; in London. Cassandra once described Liberace as "this deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavoured, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother-love." And thereupon Liberace sued for libel and won a $22,400 judgment...
