Above recalls the gruff copy editor who called the rookie reporter daily demanding "Are there any news?" One day the young man replied "No, there is no NEW!"
The creator of the Mr. Coffee Machine died last week. You may recall their ads featured Joe DiMaggio who became known as Mr. Coffee. What we just learned was that the Yankee Clipper had ulcers and only drank Sanka. Horrors! Young people today may only know him as an appliance salesman but in "South Pacific" Rodgers & Hammerstein wrote of Bloody Mary "Her skin is tender as DiMaggio's glove."
