So. You’re very
1973.
Helpless? Never.
Your man may be all
thumbs. But you’re not.
You can solder toys and
fix your own plumbing.

 

Being more of a man
used to mean
being strong enough
to be gentle.

Being more of a woman
used to mean acting
hard to get.
Today it means
hardly acting
at all.

 

Are there times when
you feel like you’re
the only two people

Puerto Rican Rum
won’t intrude on
that feeling.

POETRY’S COBBESTONES CUT DIANMOND- FACETED BY CHARLES CAMPBELL

Poetry
as always
survives today’s absorption
in the dictates of living.
The present recedes into vagueness
viewed against the past’s
sharp outline or
the greater iridescence of
the future. Meanwhile,
its abrasive polishes
the boulders of today, whose
facets reflect ourselves.

 

It springs from words, transmuting
ground-level meaning
into the ethereal. Then words
shed their lackluster eye
and shine with the dawning
of new creation, transcending
the poet, whose virtue
we unwrap
as a child awakened,
no longer speaking
of himself alone.

 

Like reverie,
invented themes are in
danger. Nor is it the
poet’s task to explore
political repercussions.
Instead, he wakens
the reader to a journey,
who, in a desert, discovers

a bloom, half hidden under
cactus spines, rising to
express his empathy
and inspiration.

 

Yet, though they
project the inner being,
the poet’s words must
associate in reason, for we
seek a more unanimous alignment.
No matter how fluorescent the
light of imagination
poetry must lead us forward
along a discernible path.
Nostalgia is only to be
avoided by rejoicing
in miracle.

AUGUST 17, ’74

The Pebbles and
Bamm-Bamm Show:
Cheerios. “By the way,
Judy, how was the school
dance?” A hundred
greatest hits of the
’60s and ’70s.

 

Snik snak: take a break. Black Bob Nolan: “The horses are coming.”

“O.K. boys, get those lines fast.” Black Bob: “Hey, hold it!

Those crates don’t unload there.” Roy: “Unload ’em, boys.”

(Later.) “Roy! Shore glad to see ya!” “You two know each other?”

“Not officially.” “Roy, meet Carlos. Carlos, meet Roy.”

“Here’s your money, Roy.” “There’s your receipt, Carlos.”

 

“A street-cleaner
writin’ traffic tickets!?!”

“My daughter Pebbles just
happens to be mayor.”

“Use your influence, Fred,
and you’ll push yourself
right in jail.”

 

He’s ready for a Man’s Breakfast. Say hello to peanuts!

Troops GLPS (Martians). Moss grows on the north side of trees.

Peanuts! Get yer peanuts! Combo Munch. A whole fistful.

Running streams lead to civilization. I’m Buster Brown.

Every good scout has his compass. He’s all dried out!

Let’s get him to MacDonald’s. Remember: Born Free.

 

Go ahead and
fiddle with the
Oreo middle
’cuz there’s no
better middle
to fiddle
with.

 

Roy: “She’s the one that Carlos wants to marry.” Lady in veil:

“Well, of all the crummy insults!” Fat Albert: “Now you’re what
I call a real soul brother.” The Scene — with Ronnie Kay. Guest star,
Harry Chapin. Diana Ross and “Don’t Knock My Love.” Short napkin
sleeves; shoulder rivets; moon blue coat; knit trousers; skinny belt.

Complete your “look” with well-tailored high-rise baggies.

 

Scrapiron showed his mettle
at the billiard parlor.

“Knock knock.”

“Who’s there?”

“Olive.”

“Olive who?”

“Olive you.”

 

Ronnie: “If you don’t believe in God, tell me, how does your brother
fly?” Harry: “Tom flies the same way, no . . .” R.K.: “Do all the
members of your family sing?” Harry: “No, some of them are actually
tone deaf.” R.K.: “The song ‘Sniper’ . . . did someone bring that
song to your attention?” H.C.: “No. I realized those political guys —
Sirhan Sirhan, Oswald, Bremer — they all needed to be recognized.”

 

“You say these kids
ran off with our bike?”
Hey hey hey,
the law is on his way.

“I’m splitin’.”
Burger King — where
kids are king.

 

Don’t just stand there, go get the other dog. Take the entire family:

Quail Theater. Rock Power: The Dubie Brothers. L. Bachman Turner.

The Spinners. Barry White; Al Green; Dave and Essex. Gladys Knight
and the Pips. Aretha Franklin; Alice Cooper; Dr. John. Only $4.99.

My son is going blind — he has R.P. This is Ronnie Kay. I’d like
to thank my featured guest for coming. . . . Arrividerci, Mother.

 

“Good morning,
I’m afraid this road
is closed. Where
were you heading for?”

All around town.

“Don’t Knock My Love”

American Bandstand.

 

Just remember the dips . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Skinny-dip fruit dip.

Crystal Love’s got it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Get Crysty Love!

These fellows

amazing success.
In the spotlight dance:
Three Dog Night.

Show as I’m sittin’ here,

It’s not too clear.

 

“There are lots of dangerous areas on the island we haven’t dealt
with yet.” The Sahara Hotel. Please greet . . . Little Anthony and
The Imperials. I’m on the inside lookin’ out on a world that’s full
of doubt. It’s a very interesting album. The loneliest house on the
block. “What’s up Doc?” “I’m rich, I’m wealthy! Ya-hoo!” “Open
saddlesoap!” “For you, but don’t open it now.” “Gosh, a fishin’ rod!”

 

That’s Clarence
Collins. Right behind us
is Bobby Wade. A dancing
background. This
is Waterloo — with Abba.
The greatest
movies on TV.

 

“Listen, tell me. How do you get two of the best producers in the
business to do sides of a single album?” “Well, first you take a
submachine gun into South Philadelphia . . . no, seriously.” “Say,
how many nights a week do you guys work?” “Oh, gosh, we
work about six nights a week.” “Let’s have a big hand. Nice to have
you with us.” “And how could I ever refuse, Waterloo, Waterloo.”

 

The Valachi Papers

High Plains Drifter
Alfred’s Frenzy
James Bond: Thunderball
The greatest box
office hits. Now the greatest
movies on television.

 

May I introduce myself? I’m Kolshak from the Daily Trib. Welcome
back. They call me The Night Stalker. What’s your name? “Tania.”
And what’s yours? “Helen.” Helen, haven’t I seen you before? May I
walk you to the door. Please let me be your number 1. Do I stand
a chance with you? Andy and David Williams here. In the meantime,
The Temptations: Feels so good to me, satisfaction guaranteed.

 

We’re going to
finish off this
half hour
with a Bachman Turner
Overdrive.
M ’n’ m’s:
plain and chocolate.

 

There was a cop on the East Side of Chicago back when the town of
Chicago died. When a man named Al Capone made that town his
own. I heard my Momma cry. The sound of battle rang through the
streets of East Chicago. I heard my Momma cry. Yes indeed, there
was no sound at all. My Daddy stepped indoors, and brushed her tears
aside. His kitchen would end up looking like a scene from a cartoon.

 

I’ve always felt
that chefs and
musical directors
are very much
alike. Most of
all it demands
love.

 

How much longer do we have to wait? There should be some sign
by now. Let’s rate it then. Master Fleet. We have an 85 and a
90. Makes it an 87 1/2. Shelley made me smile, Shelly made me
smile, but the memory of Shelley lingers on. She sets my heart
on fire. A 65 and a 50, and my pen doesn’t work. A 57 1/2. Notice the
crazy math. “Why’s the first one better?” “Moves better.”

 

Let’s see that
point over again.
Four consecutive breaks
in the second set.
Love-15. Great
forehand down the
alley. That’s long.

 

The Fresh Face of Martha: she washes with Noxzema every day.
Freddy cared more about his wheels than my legs. Phil was a sports-
man. But now, with David, I use Need. It leaves my legs smoother.
That just-brushed freshness with Dentyne. David and Andy! We’ve
done a few things in L.A., ladies and gentlemen. Say it again, say you
love me again. I’ve heard it before, I’ll hear it some more.

 

Protein 21,
you make a great
shampoo. You’re
welcome. New
this fall: Kodiak.
No matter how you slice it,
it comes up peanuts.

 

Billy Preston! Nothin’ from Nothin’ Leaves Nothin’. I’m not some-
thin’, believe you me. We’re going to top it off with Wet Willie.
You’re ’bout to go insane, ’cuz your woman’s playin’ game. We’ll
see you next time, Action ’74, from Malibu on the beach. But for
now, so long, from Dick Clark. Be sure to see Yellow Slippers,
on the CBS Children’s Film Festival, Saturday, September 7.

 

In everyone’s life
there’s a summer of
’42. Broadcasting . . .
one of the many
exciting fields
you can turn on to
at Elkins Institute.

 

Soul Train! The hippest trip in America. 60 non-stop minutes across
the tracks of your mind. With Al Green, The Impressions — and now
here’s your host, Don Cornelius. “Welcome aboard, you’re just
in time for another ride on the Soul Train, with the unbelievable
Al Green comin’ at ya after this message”: Let your mood reflect you.
Natural with a new blusher or simply “now” with liquid make up.

 

Actually, we’ve
run out of
superlatives
to describe this
man — the closet the
music world has come to
having its own Messiah.

 

You know I’d like to say just a word about the new open space school,
because we’re going to that more and more in Oklahoma. Its great
expanse . . . you know, there are no walls . . . it tends to make the
child a little nervous. But we need to encourage the child to adjust
to this new open school. And we need to talk to parents and explain it.
Then maybe they can go and talk to the administrators and teachers.

 

Mick: I think it was my
dad. He had the foresight
to recognize that
right-handers would hit
only against left-handers
and left-handers would hit
only against right-handers.

 

More highlights from the Cooperstown Hall of Fame ceremonies after
this message: Chicago. Jack Albertson is the Man, in Chicago and The
Man. Now we’ll follow here after station i.d. with Baseball’s Game
of the Week. So it’s deuce. And you can see her strategy right off the
bat. Advantage: Miss Evert. Judy: There goes that last backhand again,
just screaming on the line. Bud, Chrissie is very mobile right now.

 

Danny Murtaugh,
Walter Alston,
thanks for coming
up. Leading off,

at second base,
Dave Lopes. In
second place . . .

 

We’d like for you to meet two members of our Soul Train Gang.

What’s your name? “Rickie.” And you? “Debbie.” All right. You two
see what you can do with that and we’re gonna see what we can do
with this. It’s Cool and the Gang, runnin’ down a pretty slick sound
that we think is one of the baddest things around, called “Boogie
Down.” Jungle Boogie, get it up, get down, get down, get down.

 

Jim Wynn the
batter. The
Toy Cannon
with one strike
on him. The Dodgers
have a threat going here
in the first inning.

 

Listen baby, don’t you think I could forget, because I trust you
so much baby. Help me keep my faith in you, Ronnie Stennet, line-
drive style hitter, improved a lot defensively. Stennet is just 23
years old. A one-ball two-strike count to Stennet, Change-up, high
and inside. Cey to first, one down, When someone comes to me for
car insurance, they come to me for two reasons. State Farm is there.

 

is entitled to
his or her opinion
and they’ve run the
gamut of all that’s
intelligible.
Then came the Supreme
Court decision.

 

We’ll be keeping you abreast of other games this afternoon in the
major leagues. Ron Cey, hitting .266 with 14 home runs on the
season. And they’re starting him off with breaking pitches, Tony.

“Become a better pitcher, not just a thrower.” Pittsburgh, you know,
got off to a terrible start. 3 and 1. From the new LP “Living For You.”
This is no reason for living, Don’t make me cry, babe, Walk out and cry.

 

81
stolen bases
for Lou Brock.
Another off-speed
breaking pitch,
Dodgers ahead
one-nothing.

 

Breaking pitch, two-hopper to short. “Steve Garvey looks like a
middle linebacker, Curt.” Hebner has it, three up, three down. Why
shake her hand when you can kiss her? Monday night, the Phillies and
the Reds. Monte Irvin is going to be our guest. I see where Perry
finally got that 16th win. “Curt, I was wondering, what might Monte
have done if he’d gotten in the majors in the prime of his career.”

 

Love,
Peace. and
Soul! We
pause
briefly
for station

identification.

 

My guest is Juanita Parks, head of the Black Madonnas. Next on
Channel 5: Eyewitness Sports. “Monday is Cecil L. Williams Day.”
Jerry Clark, Mr. Sports in Oklahoma. Its taste reminds me of Wild
Hickory nuts. Interviewed by Pam Olson and Lola Hall. “Tell me,
if a person wanted to become a member of the Black Madonnas, what
would they do?” Bud, I want to make one comment about Chrissie.

 

To titillate you,
let’s take a
look at our NBC
Baseball Quiz.
Last of the fourth.
Richie Hebner will
lead it off.

 

1-1 ball game, we’re in the last of the fourth. Messersmith gets the
outside corner with what looked like a slider for a strike. One and

one. I’ll never forget my first cold slap in the face, skin tightener
and chin chiller. Thanks, I needed that. Message from National Base-

ball. She said that to be a champion you have to learn to play on
different surfaces. Saturday is double feature night on Channel 5.

Hustling baseball. Ron Cey. And they score a run and the Dodgers
have the lead, 2-1, in the top of the sixth inning. Now it’s Joe
Ferguson. And we’re going to get some action in the Pirate bullpen.

And the Dodgers scored a run. The less you use your car the more

We’ll be

this.

 

The score is 14 UCLA, 10 Santa Barbara. All right, 14-11. Service
ace. 14-12. Side out. And now UCLA has a chance to wind it up. And
there it is. Holding up his finger to indicate that UCLA is # 1 is Bob

ESCAPADE ’74-’75

1ST DAY: DEPARTING FROM STRASBOURG

Your trip along the
ancient river Rhine
begins in the early morning,
which is no drawback,
since you were cordially
welcomed aboard the
previous evening.

The ship and her crew
from that moment on, have
been at your disposal.

 

Now we leave Strasbourg,
seat of the Council of Europe,
with its world-famous Cathedral,
its picturesque old
city center known as

“la petite France.” We
sail for several hours down
the Alsatian border.
Already the Black Forest
begins to emerge.

 

We continue on to Manheim,
where the Neckar joins the
Rhine, in sight of
the Electoral Palace. Here
we disembark for an
excursion to Heidelberg
or Worms. There will be
ample time for us
to shop, after which
the ship awaits us.

 

It has been a pleasant
time, and now we have

departed Worms, the
town of Mainz appearing
on our left. Many a
song is sung to a glass
of local wine. Soon we
reach the town of
Assmannshausen, our
port for the night.

2ND DAY: DEPARTING FROM ASSMANNSHAUSEN

We have left behind
the precious little town,
with its fiery wine,
and boarded our vessel.
Having breakfasted
by the river, we are
under way again. Seated
on deck we listen,
as our guide prepares us
for what is soon to appear.

 

Here we are in the
magnificent Rhine gorge,
with the celebrated
Lorelei its highlight.
The views become fantastic,
each bend affording a
new and surprising sight.

Cliffs and mountains
follow in close succession,

numberless castles atop them.

3RD DAY: DEPARTING FROM DÜSSELDORF

The night has found us
in this industrial city.
Today, in the lowlands, we
will complete our tour of
Northern Europe. After
customs clearance we cruise
through the Dutch countryside
and arrive at Amsterdam,
where buses await us for
the transfer to our hotel.

4TH DAY: ARRIVING IN MADRID

High above the clouds we
contemplate the “Lady of
Spain” — enchanting, mysterious,
and yet accessible. Our
plane has touched down in
the very heart of Iberia;
we disembark, eager to
explore the narrow
streets and miniature plazas
of the old quarter.

 

It is afternoon. We
have passed up Toledo to
enjoy ourselves instead.
Having roamed the “rastro”
and the chic boutiques of
the Avenida José Antonio,
we tarry at an old “mesón”
over golden sherry. It
is time now for siesta.
The fiesta is hours away.

5TH DAY: GRANADA GREETS US

We are determined not
to miss the stronghold of
Moorish Spain, which lives
on as the symbol of romance.

Nor the mystery and beauty
of the Alhambra’s Palace, crown
jewel of the city. We visit
other gems too, the Gothic
chapel and Renaissance cathedral,
swamped in blossoms.

6TH DAY: DEPARTING FROM MARBELLA

It is with sadness that
we leave behind this seaside
village at the foot of the
Sierra Blanca. We say
farewell to Andalusia,
relaxing in a bright café,
chatting as we sip our
frosted sangrias. We have
come close to Algeciras
only to pass her by.

7TH DAY: ON TO THE ORIENT

It is a long journey we
have undertaken, and once more
we find ourselves embarking.
This time it will be
the adventure of a lifetime,
for we are to travel far
to discover the East,
its beautiful peoples
steeped in centuries
of exotic traditions.

NOTES

Ainslee Cox

In his second season as Director and Conductor, Mr. Cox epitomizes several adjectives — charismatic, versatile, professional, human. During his brief leadership the orchestra has been welcomed throughout Oklahoma with renewed enthusiasm. Cox, a native of Texas, studied in Austin. Later, as a protégé of Leopold Stokowski he conducted at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, and throughout New York City. He has assisted Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez and Andre Kostelanetz and has filled the podium of other major orchestras, including the Dallas, Baltimore and Pittsburgh Symphonies. Last spring he returned to Nuremburg to conduct the Symphoniker at the Meistersingerhalle. During 1975 he made numerous recordings: he led the Royal Philharmonic in pieces by Elgar in London; for release in Germany he conducted Russian music; in New York City he recorded works with The Golamen Band.

Aaron Copland

Born Brooklyn, November 14, 1900, Aaron Copland is probably America’s best-known living composer, in part due to his efforts as a teacher and conductor of musical events, but most especially because his music seems to touch the roots of the American experience. His works resonate with emotions that have shaped the nation, capturing the proud and forward-looking mood that has distinguished the development of our country.

Louis Moreau Gottschalk

Born New Orleans, May 8, 1829; died Rio de Janeiro, December 18, 1869.

Charles Ives

Born Danbury, Connecticut, October 20, 1874; died New York City, May 19, 1954.

Marga Richter

A graduate of Juilliard, Ms. Richter studied with William Bergsma and Vincent Persichetti. While still a student she had several works performed, “We shall hear more from Miss Richter!” the critic of The New York Times predicted. His prophecy has since been borne out: six of her works have been recorded, including Concerto for Piano and Violas, Cellos and Basses. One of her most widely performed works is the ballet score, Abyss. Commissioned by the Harkness Ballet, it was premiered in Cannes, France in 1964 and subsequently was performed in major cities of North and South America, Europe and Asia. In September 1975 New York’s Museum of Modern Art gave two concerts devoted entirely to the music of Marga Richter, the first time in its history that it had given a woman such recognition. Ms. Richter is director of the League of Women Composers. Her Concerto was written for America’s greatest exponent of contemporary piano music, William Masselos.

Lee Hoiby

Lee Hoiby graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1947 and continued his study at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia with Gian Carlo Menotti, winning a Master’s degree in 1952. Mr. Hoiby has spent time in Rome and Salzburg as a Fulbright scholar and been a recipient of the National Institute of Arts and Letters Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. The composer’s lyrical bent is well displayed in his operas, which include a setting of Tennessee Williams’ famous play. Summer and Smoke. Mr. Hoiby has created incidental music for many plays. His score for After Eden proved an impressive part of the Alvin Ailey Dance Company’s recent Oklahoma City visit. His Concerto, commissioned by G. Schirmer, was completed in Rome in 1958. It has been performed in New York at Philharmonic Hall, but the Oklahoma City performances are the first in which the composer himself appears as soloist.

Francis Thorne

Francis Thorne studied with Paul Hindemith at Yale University, from which he graduated in 1943. After active wartime service Mr. Thorne took up a business career. By 1954 the urge to return to music became overwhelming, and more study followed, interlarded with jazz piano playing. In addition to his jazz work, Mr. Thorne has composed in most of the “serious” forms. Rhapsodic Variations was written in Florence, Italy in 1964. Although it has been recorded, these are its first “live” performances. Mr. Thorne is Executive Director of the American Composers Alliance. The Thorne Music Fund, which he established in 1965, has provided fellowships and commissions for such composers as Stephan Wolpe, Elliot Carter, Duke Ellington, Howard Swanson, Harry Partch, Edgar Varese and Henry Cowell.

MEXICO CITY ’76

Mexico is the greatest natural museum in the world.

 

Here you can see pyramids, ruins of ancient temples, marvels in sculpture and painting, the caves of Cacahuamilpa — seventh wonder of the world — and the priceless jewels of Monte Albán.

 

Paseo de la Reforma is a beautiful drive along which you see remarkable monuments, one to Columbus, another to the memory of Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor, who struggled courageously against the Spanish conquerors.

 

Here you will find Colonial Architecture of the most refined style, such as the Cathedral.

 

The Cathedral is a gem of architecture; it is the largest Cathedral in all America and one of the finest.

 

Nowadays Mexico City is considered as up-to-date a city as any European metropolis.

LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO ’76

México es el Museo Natural más grande del mundo.

 

Aquí se pueden ver pirámides, ruinas, templos antiguos y maravillas en esculturas, pinturas, las Grutas de Cacahuamilpa — una de las siete maravillas del mundo — y las famosísimas joyas de monte Albán.

 

El Paseo de la Reforma es un magnífico boulevard en el cual se pueden apreciar varios monumentos, uno a Cristóbal Colón, otro a la memoria de Cuauhtémoc, el último emperador de los Aztecas, que peleó valientemente contra los conquistadores Españoles.

 

Aquí se encuentra arquitectura colonial de un estilo altamente refinado como el de la Catedral.

 

La Catedral es una joya arquitectónica; es la más grande de toda América.

 

La Ciudad de México hoy en día es considerada tan adelantada como

cualquier metrópoli europea.
