...Scarlet Pimpernel of pollution, had struck again. His note explained all. A long doggerel rewrite of Coleridge's Kubla Khan, it ended with the lines: "We have begged you for mercy, and our hearts are sad, our brother./So I leave you with this greeting, Sir, from one slob to another!

Taking on Manhattan Restaurateur Toots Shor in the old days, Mike blurted, "Toots, why do people call you a slob?" Just last month, on 60 Minutes, Wallace reminded 32-year-old Millionaire Stewart Mott of his broken engagement to Girl Friend Christine Donovan and continued, "You still go together-aren't you going to get married?" The response: "We may some day, if we ever decide to have children...
