...Fezziwig's daughter. Dickens only gives us a scene in which a woman (not Miss Fezziwig) returns her engagement ring to Scrooge because he has a new passion, for Gain. Briscusse shows the whole courtship to the background of a song called "Happiness Is," or something like that. Pure, thick soup. The level of intelligence is nowhere near an old version of A Christmas Carol, with Alistair Sim, in which the Fezziwig episode was padded much more effectively by having Scrooge ruin Fezziwig and heartlessly take over his business...
...DAVIDSON dropped out of school in California to climb mountains. He's a lanky, agile man with a thick red beard and hair the same length as his beard. His deep voice bobs pleasantly up and down as though he's always telling favorite stories to an appreciative group of children.

But the plastique went off at 6:35 a.m., 55 minutes before the first staff members arrived for work, and nobody was hurt...
...m.p.h. procession to a movie or a drive-in church. After perhaps a dozen revolutions, one set of parents plucks their beloved bundle from a pod proudly emblazoned with a screaming, claws-out eagle, the stars and stripes, and the words "Cong Killer" on the side-and stuffs a thick wad of pink cotton candy in his mouth as a reward for not throwing up in his very first ride at the midway...
