I'm afraid whenever I think of Perry Como, I remember the SCTV bit "Perry Como - Still Alive." But he sure was smooth. There's also a very interesting article on how television has changed politics, written by John F. Kennedy (or Ted Sorenson, perhaps?) Plus the latest fashions for the holidays, modeled by some of TV's loveliest women, and highlights of the week.
As always, your comments, positive or negative, are welcome.
