Terrific playwright Garson Kanin was married to Ruth Gordon for 43 yrs until her death age 88. One of his best plays imo, and smash Broadway hit in 1950 was Born Yesterday starring the great Judy Holliday. She also starred in the 1951 movie of the same name with Wm Holden and Broderick Crawford. BY is the story of a seemingly dim NY chorus girl (JH) who accompanies her wealthy but crude salvage dealer boyfriend (Crawford) down to DC where he's working on buying off a US Senator. To keep her out of his hair Crawford pays newspaper man Holden to show her around DC. That's all the setup I'll give. Born Yesterday needs to be top of your bucket list of old movies if you haven't seen it. It's very funny, the acting is fantastic, and the story is more politically relevant today than it was in 1950..

Such things are not as unpleasant when they are sugar-coated.

Interesting that John Daly flew from Tokyo to Seattle on July 4, 1959. It is quite likely that such a flight would have taken him over the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. With Alaska being admitted to the Union on 1/3/59, the new U.S. flag with 49 stars would have become official on 7/4/59. It would only be the official flag for one year as Hawaii was admitted to the Union on 8/21/59 and the 50 star flag became official on 7/4/60.

Garson Kanin and his publisher, Bennett Cerf, both had the same tendency to act surprised at times when they got a yes answer, including saying something like "you do" or "it is" with a note of surprise. Kanin, of course, was a rookie on the panel. But Cerf knew the game well enough to frame the question in reverse if he thought that was more likely to get a yes answer. It intrigues me that he was surprised that often to get a yes.

By 1959 it was quite clear that one should never come to John Daly or the WML panel for lessons in science, especially zoology or botany. In this case, the second challenger didn't seem to know much about spiders, which didn't help matters. Not only do spiders bite, some of them are quite furry. For example one variety is known as the "brown furry spider" (aka _Pardosa xerampelina_).
