February 1957


I wonder if he gave Julius LaRosa a bottle as severance pay...

Who is this Sal Mineo person?  He doesn't sound like Artur Rubenstein!  I don't hear flamencos -- @#$%, those E.E. Forbes people gave us the wrong cotton-pickin' tickets!!

The adverts to the left and above appeared side by side.  Nothing like covering both extremes, right? 

Appearing with Mr. Rubinstein was flamenco master Jose Greco -- billed as "world's outstanding exponent of Spanish dance."  He was even knighted by the goverment of Spain, too.  Not a bad achievement for someone of Italian origin!

(ABOVE)  I didn't know you could print the word "hell" in a family newspaper back in 1957.

(RIGHT) Even more amazing is that "raw sex" happened at all in '57, much less the words printed.  "Elevate every eyebrow", indeed.
