Templeton learns his scripts by having them read to him 20 times, follows them during broadcasts by touch-cues, called "zicks," given by his manager, Stanley North. North puts his right hand on Templeton's left shoulder, squeezes when he is to speak or play, whispers the first few words of each speech. To speed his playing North presses Alec's left shoulder with his forefinger; to slow him down, the forefinger is drawn across his back.

With sense of humor zero and self-confidence unlimited, Fascist Starace earned the nickname "Pantherman" by feats of physique-jumping a horse over a car, pole vaulting, diving over parallel bars, plunging through rings of fire. In his gaudy office, where he is protected by an always-loaded, pearl-handled revolver and by a solid gold Virgin, he has thought up many a mystic fetish, many a fiendish thuggery. He abolished...
