Wednesday 11 September 1963,
254th day - 111 days to come
From N.Y. POST Nov 21, 1961: - They were playing THE TOWER GAME at Howard Perry Rothberg's new salon - Janet Leigh, Tony Perkins, Elaine Stritch and Sharman Douglas. The proposition: "You're confined to a tower with two people. You must throw one off the tower, the other you'll be with for 30 years. Which'll you throw off the tower? Players try to think of difficult combinations: for example, "Mary Martin or Ethel Merman?" You must answer instantly, and nobody wins.
Everybody goes a little crazy.
From N.Y. POST SEPT. 5, 1963: - Hear about the PRANKISH PREPOSITIONS GAME? Goes like this: "The clerk was shot in the ticket office....The girl was stabbed in the suburbs....He kissed her passionately upon her reappearance...She walked in upon his invitation...She sat down upon her being asked... She fainted upon his departure... He seated himself upon her entering." (Taken right outa the press.)
Put JFK'S NEW FRONTIER into Ad Clippings (From Toys & Novelties - Aug 1963).
