On the Historic 'Night off Terror* The Tri-Media Group Was There! When enraged students stormed the Palace gates dzHP News was tnere: When the pitched battle tor Mendiola bridge was being fought, dzHP News was there: Talking to armed forces and police chiefs. Helping bleeding students to temporary hospitals. Asking priests and parents to help ease the tension and restore the peace. When President Marcos met with the council of state, dzHP News was there. Broadcasting direct from the presidential study: The address to the nation .... The reaction of men in government .... The armed forces' intelligence reports .... The students’ hope .... And fears. Giving listeners nationwide a vivid running account of the breaking story In the same high tradition that won for dzHP the Citizens’ Council for Mass Media Award As the nation’s outstanding news and information station. HBCl | TAPE WHEELS of Tape Recorders and Computers symbolize the modern age of electronic journalism as practiced by the Tri­ Media Group. They stand for professionalism, excellence and integrity in communications, committed to the highest ideals of broadcasting and newspapering. They are symbols of media which move ideas and a nation. 24 hours a day the TRI-MEDIA Newsroom hums with activity. It has direct access to Radio Mindanao Network stations nationwide, via microwave. Radio mobile units, single side-band equipment, global monitors plus news printers of the international wire services com­ plete this sophisticated means of getting the news from here and abroad.

Camera direction, slides, film clips, commercial cues and news script timing are controlled from this room. By Rodolfo Calma From the first bloody riots off January 26 to Ma­ nila's "Night off Terror" January 30th, and for a week thereafter, rumors multiplied, charge; and counter-charges'were made. The city finally settled into an uneasy quiet when parents of the four students killed January 30th decided not to cooperate in a mass funeral march. That week, Filipinos — through­ out the nation — heard radio re­ porting as they never heard it be­ fore ! From Luzon to Visayas to the southernmost reaches of Mindadanao, radio listeners who tuned in to RMN stations heard the full story direct from Manila! In the words of Tri Media re­ porters who had been at the scene. In the reports by police officials and others concerned. In the statement of President Marcos — made direct from the Palace — Monday night, Februa­ ry 2: his reassurance that all was quiet again in Manila. Drop Those Commercials! In the days following first word of the first riots, RMN cleared its airlanes of commercial content — and for a total of 36 tension-laden hours that week-end of January 30-February 1 devoted its entire resources to full coverage of those now-historical, hysterical events. Some 24 hours were spent broad­ casting from Malacafiang and vicinities like Mendiola, where pitched battles were fought; and from Claro M. Recto, where stu­ dents had taken over direction of traffic. Twelve hours of the coverage consisted of broadcasts from Con­ gress, City Hall, the Cardinal’s re­ sidence and from whichever streets the students poured into. RMN had coverage by foot, by jeep, by car and by helicopter. People listened to radio as they had never done before. In Malacanang, the President, his family and his staff listened to RMN — as did other people everywhere — clustered around radio sets in of­ fices, barber shops, stores and ho­ tels, or in their cars and homes. Statistically, listening was pro­ bably 200 to 300 per cent of nor­ mal. Newsfilms for IBC On television, the Inter-Island Broadcasting Nation-wide Televi­ sion Network covered the events with newsfilm photographed at the scenes of action — and jet­ flown on tape to IBC’s TV sta­ tions in Cebu, Bacolod. Davao and Cagayan de Oro. There, these “National Network­ films were telecast at the prime viewing-hours of 6:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. — on the same day that newspapers with their stones reached the provinces. TV newscasters of IBC in those provincial markets, meanwhile, updated their stories with news received by microwave direct from RMN in Manila. It was the nation’s first and finest “network” televi­ sion coverage — the experience of seeing events happen the very day they happened! Advertisers and agencies who sponsor programs on RMN and IBC were alerted that their programs and announcements might be “blacked out” at any moment to carry “hot” news, and were re­ minded that such changes in schedule were for the purpose of keeping an entire nation informed. IBC instructions to the network announcers and station newsmen were to this effect; “Don’t get ex­ cited. Be calm. Imagine yourself at a dinner table with local peo­ ple of prominence and importance — a banker, a professor. Tell of the events as they are . . . tell what it was like . . . while (as you ima­ gine) the maid’s boyfriend (who is a truck driver) listens in the kit­ chen. Talk to be understood by that truck driver while not reflect­ ing upon the intelligence of the professor. Above all, never sound excited. Be calm — ‘keep your cool’ — even in the midst of such sen­ sationally exciting events.” It was a long two weeks. The weeks that turned out to be the historical event of broadcast networking’s formal debut in the Philippines! Typical Day at Tri-Media RMN and IBC through this TriMedia News Center had been ma­ king plans for months for such instantaneous Radio coverage of news events, by means of the mi­ racle of microwave transmission. And for Television, newsfilm co­ verage achieved nation-wide dal­ ly — by jet-flight of broadcast tapes to the IBC stations in the provinces. Earlier this year, the time of testing was half an hour before a scheduled newscast. At the Master Control of TriMedia News in the Philippines Herald Building, News pirector Ronnie Nathanielsz was ’island­ hopping” via microwave, talking to one after another of his counter­ parts in seven cities across the country. The occasion was the dramatic announcement by the President giving his worldly possessions to the people of the Republic. How were the people taking the an­ nouncement? Did they believe the President? Did they think it was another gimmick? dzHP, the RMN station in Manila, wanted an im­ mediate reaction from north to south. And in a matter of twenty minutes, Nathanielsz had his reac­ tions neatly on tape, ready for broadcast! Tape — the miracle medium of news reporting — symbolized by the RMN-IBC emblem: a tape wheel. Today, thanks to the pioneering efforts of Tri-Media in the utili­ zation of microwave broadcasting, people no longer need wait even one day to get a reaction from a news event. Nor is it necessary to wait for an Interview simply be­ cause the person to be interviewed is out of town. Through its micro­ wave network. dzHP and- RMN talks to a senator vacationing in his ranch in Mindanao. Or to a businessman in Baguio. Use off Shored Facilities Tri-Media News is the closelyknit organization whereby three media — Radio, TV and the Na­ tional Newspaper, the Herald — make maximum use of each other’s talent, facilities and resources to get a broader perspective of the news. That news is Incorporated in the 24-hour nation-wide news broad­ casts by Radio Mindanao Network, Page 2 Herald Mid-Week Magazine Wednesday, February 11, 1970 How Network Radio and Television Newscasts Make a Nation's Citizens Part of Each Day's Events regularly scheduled 18 times a day on the hour — and in the two dai­ ly Television newscasts of the In­ ter-Island Broadcasting Corpora­ tion’s provincial stations in four cities, plus four daily telecasts of news over TV 13 in Manila. The nucleus of the Tri-Media News Bureau which handles all these nationwide radio and televi­ sion newscasts comes from the dzHP Radio and TV news studios in the Herald Building. At present there are four daily TV newscasts on TV 13 in Manila, two of which are carried nation­ wide on IBC_ network stations in the provinces. Other TV interview programs such as “Showdown,” “Undertones,” “Mary-Go-Round,” “Open F o r u m” and the CAT award-winning educational televi­ sion series, provide the many fa­ cets of informative television Under this set-up, television news gains added significance. And when that news is carried on a national scale, a new dimension Is added. Responsibility to a nation somehow brings with it greater demands and challenges than ser­ vice to a single city or province. .A Commitment to the Notion With the TV 13 newscasts now going nationwide dally, the three organizations that back-stop this endeavor are called upon to win respect and confidence based on sound performance and fairness in judgment. The three news organization oi the Philippines Herald, Radio Mindanao Network and Inter-Is­ land Broadcasting Corporation form what has come to be known as the Tri-Media Group, or Tri-Me­ dia News. But what prompted IBC and RMN to pioneer in such national radio and television newscasts? Henry Canoy, Executive Vice Pre­ sident and General Manager of both companies, puts it this way: “At this crucial stage of our na­ tion’s development, with the un­ derlying theme of one nation, one people, the national newscasts on radio and television provide the one voice that gives meaning and essence to that national desire.” The microwave news on RMN radio and the national news on the five IBC television stations throughout the country are, in fact, the partial fulfillment of a dream long cherished by Canoy himself. A dedicated media man, he be­ lieved that broadcasting in this country could come of age only when it did more than entertain people. That broadcasting should provide news and public affairs programs designed to inform, to uplift and to enrich the lives of our citizens. His solution was to form Tri-Media News and link the nation by microwaved news ser­ vice. Microwave is an expensive com­ modity to maintain. Sponsors who support the microwave operation think of their contribution not on­ ly in terms of cost-per-thousandpeople reached uv <hetr adverti­ sing; but in the greater context of free and quick exchange of infor­ mation as the necessary founda­ tion for a country like the Philip­ pines to be a true democracy. Sponsors Roily to Service On this score, sponsor compa­ nies have not been found wanting. Thanks to their pioneering coope­ ration and foresight as national advertisers, microwave broadcast­ ing is now a reality in this coun­ try. On the nationwide newscasts Tri-Media News takes into consi­ deration the diverse regions co­ vered. It strives to bridge the gap of understanding and communica­ tion between the people and their government, between provincial officials and central officialdom This takes more than just tell­ ing it like it is. It takes a special awareness and concern for being able to explain why something is so, and something is not sc. The Philippines’ Most Powerful Television Transmitter — Key Sta­ tion for IBC, the National Televi­ sion Network It seeks out the decision-makers and the people in the news to ac­ count for their actions and to voice their sentiments. In this manner the prospects of under­ standing are greatly enhanced. Hand in hand with the respon­ sible coverage of the national scene by the Philippines Herald, people in the “home" Manila area and in the provinces who watch IBC TV newscasts or listen to RMN network news on radio get, what Fr. Borja of Ateneo de Davao calls, “a new dimension” to their news. Tne networx newscasts enable citizens of our nation everywhere to be part of the events of the day, whether such events be a historic moon-landing, the oath-taking of the first re-elected President of the Philippines, or news such as the bloody riots of the past two weeks.

Orendain When last August we received a formally err graved invitation to witness the installation of the first President of the newly created Asian Institute of Management, Dr. Stephen Fuller, we determined to get him for an interview before his term of office expired. (The Institute is a result of a merger bet­ ween the graduate schools of business of De La Salle College and the Ateneo de Manila University and is being supported by the Eugenio Lopez Foundation, Ford Foundation, the United States Agency for ln~ ternational Development and a number of business houses and businessmen, among them The San Mi­ guel Corporation, Ayala Corporation, the account' ing offices of Sycip, Gorres and Velayo, Caltex (Phil) Inc. and many more.) Nearly six months to the day he was installed, (together with a friend who did the Introductions) we found Dr. Fuller one Sunday afternoon relaxing in his favorite haunt, the sala of his rambling one level Dasmarinas Village residence with his wife, the former Frances Mulhearn, and a just completed huge jigsaw puzzle of a painting of an English countryside. Tall, almost over six feet, bouncy and ebullient, with blue steady gazed-eyes behind horn-rlmmed glasses, clad In well pressed blue pants and beautiful barong tagalog (that hang well on him) silver haired where it still grew, he could passed for a mestizo. He is half English and half Irish and is a Catholic. Photo shows the installation of Dr. Stephen H. Ful- cip, chairman of the Board of Trustees, Asian Insler as first president of the Asian Institute of Ma- titute of Management and Bro. Gabriel Connon, nagement. From left are Dr. Stephen H. Fuller, F. S. C. president. De La Salle College. President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Washington Z. SyTwinkle-eyed, full of Irish warmth and good humor, Dr. Ful­ ler who turned fifty six days ago, looks like a kindly, doting grand­ father or like jolly old Santa Claus (depending on the mood you meet him) rather than the astute aca­ demician or tough business con­ sultant and the head of such a prestigious educational institu­ tion whose lofty goal is the educa­ tion and training of future busi­ ness leaders in this part of the world. Apart from developing future business Midases, he has authored a book on labor relations — Prob­ lems In Labor Relations — pub­ lished by McGraw-Hill in 1964. Un­ til his appointment as associate dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, he taught courses in Labor Rela­ tions and Human Relations, Busi­ ness Responsibilities in American Society and Business Policy. The teaching staff of the University of Ohio (where he obtained his ba­ chelor of arts degree) has also availed of his services. He has served as consultant in various business and industry In his own country, Europe, Canada and Asia. He has been very active in helping to establish development pro­ grams within individual companies which has taken him to teach in programs in Switzerland, Japan, Spain, Italy, Pakistan, Ecuador, Mexico, Colombia, Canada, and most often here. (As proof of his outstanding contributions to man­ agement education here, the Ste­ phen Fuller Chair in Business Ad­ ministration was created at the State University in 1968.) “I like the Philippines," Dr. Ful­ ler told us. "I like being here. I like Manila and I hate people with whom I talk to, who raise eyebrows and commiserate with me when they learn that I am going to stay here for sometime. They have mis­ taken impressions of the country. I always set them straight (very straight in fact) about conditions here." The romance between Dr. Ful­ ler and the Philippines began over 20 years ago when he first came here as a soldier in the US Army towards the end of World War II. Since then he has been in and out of the country for more than 15 times with long periods of stay in connection with his lecture tours. He was a member of the faculty of Dr. STEPHEN H. FULLER the first ETIOP Advance Manage­ ment Courses in Baguio City. When the final decision as to where the AIM was going to be si­ tuated was being made, Dr. Fuller promptly suggested Manila be the site. Not only because of the prac­ tical side of the question — there won’t be any language barrier — but also some sentimental reasons. “The decision was made here,” he said patting his breast. To our incredulous ‘Oh’ he elaborated. "I couldn’t bring my other two sons anywhere else, could I? They would sorely miss the country of their birth so much.” Later on, we found out who were the two sons he was referring to. They were his two adopted Filipino boys, Teofilo and Rogelio who now live with him and his wife and who bear his surname. His other two natural sons are Mark and Joseph Fuller who are both in Boston. Both Dr. Fuller and his wife Frances (she gave up a teaching post at Radcliffe where she grad­ uated) are deeply involve in edu­ cation. “I’m stuck with it” he proudly informed us with an en­ gaging grin. We urged the good doctor to fill us in on what he is stuck with and he told us about the main con­ cerns of the Institute, his views on the teaching method and the Fili­ pino students as a whole compared to its American counterpart, and his views on the economy of the country (very bright he said) and various things that were purely personal opinions that they need not be mentioned here. (We liked his candid, personal opinions, though.) A keen advocate of the case method of teaching, he has a spec­ tacular disbelief in the lecture me­ thod both from the standpoint of personal discretion and of ‘Chris­ tian charity towards his audience’. “I firmly believe that the best way to capture the interest of a stu­ dent is not to feed him with a lot of words (which he takes down as­ siduously and then memorize) but to make him think. The case me­ thod does this. The student’s mind is made to grapple with the actual, everyday problems encountered by businessmen here (we asked them to write down their problems in business). The solutions then come from each and everyone in the class. In this way too, the more timid are encourage to disagree (Continued on page 6) Page 4 Herald Mid-Week Magazine Wednesday, February 11, 1970 Irene Arboleda, a featured singer in two local supper clubs, is leaving toward the end of this month for Kuala I.utnpur, Ma­ laysia, to fulfill a six-month singing engagement at the Federal Hotel. Miss Arboleda arrived only recently from Osaka, Jap­ an, where she was engaged for four months at the Kingsland Night Club. She is the younger sister of Jimmy’s veteran songs­ tress Ana Velen. Eddie Mesa, television, stage and movie personality will un­ whirl love tunes at the swinging disco-pad of Savoy Philip­ pines’, The Circuit which will be going oh its 365th love­ whirl on Love Day.

Dacanay------—--------An Old Haunt Revisited tT was more than two years ago to the day when I last visited Indios Bravos, the only other real coffee shop in town. Like the pioneer coffee shop — Ishmael Bernal’s Gray November — Indios had everything, but cof­ fee, and like Gray November where I used to relish mais con hielo with poetry readings, Indios had me co­ ming back for its lumpiang sariwa mixed with Tony Nieva. Last weekend when I stepped in­ side Indios, I heard the familiar entrance tinkle. After I needled my way through a disarray of rat­ tan chairs to a nook and found myself ordering beer, not lumpia. I didn’t go there for lumpia but a friend, a colleague, I met in Da­ vao who claimed she owned 99.9 per cent of the stocks. I found her all right but not be­ fore I passed a rigid security check from the waiter* and after a 5minute bout with a solitary San Miguel bottle. It was a warm homecoming as I saw familiar faces and nooks and items. I also saw new faces and met five new friends. It would have been a perfect evening, but for lumpiang sariwa and a joker named Nieva. T didn’t have a chance to make A my own forecast in the recert CAT awards, but I surely would have been disappointed if the Viinta Valera starrer — the New Tancho Tique Show — lost. I have become a Vilma fan since that Celebrity Night two and a half years ago aX the National Press Club when she sang her heart out and had us newsmen ap­ plauding her a full two minutes. I forgot the title of that ballad — it was a top hit then — but I won’t forget that performance. Vilma was among a very few ce­ lebrities who could pack the spa­ cious NPC deck and the gross sales that particular night, up to this time, have remained a record at the NPC. There was only one other singer who outdrew her — her name is a byword in the field of entertain­ ment: Pilita Corrales. The glory was not completely hers, however, as there was her sidekick — Eddie Mercado, a top­ notch emcee, wit and singer. While Vilma is sensitively soul­ ful in ballads and groovy in pop beats, Eddie’s singing is polished, suave The pair’s increasing popularity on TV is due to their vivacity, a thing that establishes rapport be­ tween them, the gallery and home viewers. Press notices dub her a natural livewlre, both on stage and off­ stage. She has never lost her tom­ boyishness, though, a factor that helped her in her movie stint. This, of course, shows in her naughty and happy-go-lucky ways which have endeared her to her TV fans. All of a sudden I found new no­ toriety — a Nora Aunor heckler. Several Nora fans have called me up to call me down and one of them — a girl from Quezon City who identified herself only as a tukaya of the darling of the bakya, threatened to gather other No­ ra fans to demonstrate against “You’ll eat your words,’’ she said, “because someday Nora will be on top of the movie world." I’d rather eat my words, sour as they taste, but that's better than eating alikabok. There’s one reader — I won’t mention her name as she might suffer the same late as mine — who completely agrees with me. She’s the wife of a noted Ilocano columnist. Let’s set the record straight. I have no quarrel with Nora. In fact, I love listening to her, her singing, that is. That’s all. Judy Rivera must be hopping mad now after 1 clobbered her fa­ mily name — I wrote Ramirez — in my column last week. That should serve me a lesson — don’t rely on your memory, much less your handwriting. A government subsidy to the lo­ cal movie industry is being pro­ posed by Sen. Wenceslao Rancap Lagumbay. The Laguna senator bared his plan on a speech before the Fili­ pino Independent Film Distribu­ tors, recently. Lagumbay, who is chairman of the Senate ways and means com­ mittee, disclosed that he has pre­ pared a bill setting aside P2.5 mil­ lion from the amusement taxes as government financial support to the local movie industry. Lagumbay also refiled his bill intended to protect Filipino movie actors and actresses from discrimi­ natory and unfair treatment by foreign movie producers making pictures in the Philippines. In his bill, Labumbay proposed that foreign movie companies making pictures in the Philippines should be required to pay, in addi­ tion to salaries for Filipino movie actors and actresses not less than five per cent of the next box of­ fice receipts of the^pictures when exhibited in foreign countries. These royalties will be divided among the Filipino actors and ac­ tresses who apneared in the movie. Another P500,000, he said, would be set aside annually lor prizes to motion pictures that win awards for technical excellence, and for contributing to the propagation of the culture and traditions of the Filipino people. Lagumbay stressed that he was in favor of encouraging the pro­ duction of more Filipino motion pictures, particularly those which enhance Philippine culture and educate the masses. He averred that the Filipino mo­ tion picture helps arouse national­ ism among the people, because itpropagates the national language and helps solidifies the Filipino Identity as a distinct race and peo­ ple. Wednesday, February 11, 1970 Herald Mid-Week Magazine Page 5 Timeless Music There is a very special kiutd of music which I hope vuil find a great if not a fjdal appeal to whoever I cks it. All for the better for everyone as we shall see. I refer to the oldest kind of music, and also the most modern. It is, how­ ever, not contemporary: tne Past and the Future find it more common. It is the music for and of the Wingless and the Super** birds. It is Timeless Music. In the most primitive communi­ ties in Africa, Australia, and Asia, music plays the’ vital function of providing the most suitable form of communication among the peo­ ple themselves and of course rmong the mortals and the spirits. The religious rite always basically accompanied by some sort of chanting. Even in the archaic ci­ vilizations, as in India, songs (in cuarter — and smaller tones) and instrumental improvisations were never absent. In our time, music has become quite complicated and noisy. It is not anymore solely sacred music that we have but also the profane. The traditional JEREMY FLINT’S BRIDGE CLASS * Note the singleton JOHN. TARINS VIEW. TO’ OPEN THE SECOND SUIT, Of AMOMDS INTO ACCOUNT THE POSITION OF YOUR SINGLETON. IT IS A MISTAKE. IN MV church chants have become in­ fested by folksongs and the like. Profane music such as jazz, pop and rock, and even "serious con­ temporary" has battered our lives. Nevertheless, in all these instan­ ces, music serves the function of communication — the expression of the striving of man for a mean­ ingful way of lifa And yet, all music pieces ever produced so far are imperfections. The symphonies of Beethoven and the contrapuntally correct fugues of Bach are imperfections. Their music does not at all compare with the Timeless Music. In fact, the music of the composers we call “masters” are merely mimics, like clowns which have the pecu­ liarity of being funny and pathetic at the same time. The Evoica Sym­ phony becomes a valiant struggle and a courageous affirmation of the dignity of what man is. Great. But why were the String Quartets composed after this symphony: do not these Quartets look into the future? Are these not visionary? These music masters' paradise must lie somewhere else since they never cease their search. They look back-and-forward, think there-ana-later. Where is the Ideal? The early troubadours thought it was found in their poetic lyri­ cism, so .hey sang to hearts over­ brimming. Palestrina thought thorough voice leading would do RESPONDS TWO HEARTS, AS SUE VERY WEU. MAY, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO RE-BID YOUR MOTH-SATfN SPADES, BECAUSE A BID OF THREE DIAMONDS WOULD DENOTE A VERY MUCH STRONGER By Jorge A. Carreon it. Bach added homophony. Mozart emphasized line and form. Beetho­ ven combined everything. The Ro­ mantics flooded themselves with their own tears. Stravinsky thought he had hit the pot with his “Rites of Spring” only to tread again la­ ter on the old battlegrounds of the Ciassicists. Anton Webern concen­ trated on microcosmic forms and emaciated harmony. Stockhausen uses electronics. The hippies, sti­ mulants and sex. It takes a lot of courage to com­ pose music. It also takes much brain and patience. But it takes all these and much more to appre­ ciate the Timeless Music, and es­ pecially to go into it. One must be honestly prepared and willing to do it. One must have grace from the Wingless and the Superbirds. Man has always striven for things absolute. He will always be striving for things absolute. It seems that Life for him is an allor-nothing proposition, even as he is well aware that perfection here on earth can only be but poorly approximated. Man has just got to keep on and plough through. He can not do otherwise. Well, actually he can do other­ wise one thing, the only one. He can write the Timeless Music — the music not of notes but of rests. He can Die . . . Which reminds me of Kanakruschti, who said, "Si­ lence like the Wingless Dove it flew — motionless. And Timeless in Peace was the Universe.” TUE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT WE HAVE A &INGLSTOM SPAPS Of A SINGLETON HEART. HERE IT IS EMINENTLY CORRECT TO OPEN THE BIDDING IRRESPECTIVE OF PARTNER’S RESPONSE. YOU CAN CONFIDENTLY INTRODUCE YOUR MAKING A MARGINAL 0PEWIM6BID, MOTE WHERE THE SINGLETON IS AND WHETHER OR The Case Method (Continued, from page 4) with the professors.” Asked whether there is much difference between the Filipino students and American students he said not much as long as they are given the same educational opportunity. “But this I found. The Filipino student respects authority and grey hairs more, so that he tends to take what his professors say hook, line and sinker. But this is true everywhere in Asia, I think.” AIM’s aim is three-fold. To pro­ vide highly competent and care: fully selected candidates, without regard to their financial ability to pay their education, the opportu­ nity to receive professional, grad­ uate level, full-time training in managerial leadership. Since not everyone who wants to further their studies can be admitted to the Harvard Business School ab­ road (only 750 students are admit­ ted each year to the school, and 10 per cent of said total is allotted to foreign students) AIM intends to give the same training to Aslan students with the same curricu­ lum, same courses and same teach­ ing method — the case method. “We do not need valedictorians but students who have leadership (they are iwo quite different thing). True we are tough in the admission office, but afterwards, when they have hurdled the ex­ aminations we are generous to them. The work load is heavy, about 70 hours a week. That is why we do not accept working stu­ dents. But we do our level best to get students who have been admit­ ted, to graduate them. So far out of the 96 students admitted this school year, only four dropped the course for reason of health. If the future of the school depends on the students, then I can proudly say that it will be a success.” We asked Dr. Fuller how things are going financially for both the students (when they finally are graduated) and for the teaching staff. “Great on both counts. Already some of our students are being eyed by a number of business con­ cerns. As for the teaching staff, we had some difficulties in keep­ ing them after they return from training in Harvard. Some of our would be faculty members wind up in the offices of several business houses in Makati. But now we have the problem licked. We raised their pay. The average AIM professor’s pay is way, way above those of­ fered by other schools or business establishments. Still, we have to admonish the businessmen not to ‘cut down the tree but to take the fruits which we will <renerously offer n clone.’ Page 6 Herald Mid-Week Mogozine Wednesday, February 11, 1970 AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY.

By John Mason By Jose De La Cruz Official Family Planning President Marcos has finally up and done it — cut down on the population ex­ plosion which had plagued his official family. I refer to his cabinet, and the trim­ ming of the number of secretaries from 26 to 15 — possibly less. What better ex­ ample of family planning can there be? The “decabinetization” (no relation to de-Stalinization, de-Americanization or de-constipation) of the Chief Executive’s oliice has long been overdue, and the President must have finally realized that too many dr*\w<-s ran rpml the cabinet. Mai,ur«lly, arc problems which we ordinary ’uns must face. The biggest is proper identification, as the secretary of a department last week could be the secretary of another department. Take the case of Johnny Ponce Enrile. A few days ago, he was doing justice to his department. Now, he is on the defense, and taking it from everyone who feels that Our Cover Erlynn Bernardez is more than beauty and brains — she’s also a Bayanihan folk­ fl an cer. The 18-year-old charmer from UP has just returned from the US as an exchange scholar of the YFU (Youth for Under­ standing). She’s pursuing her UP studies, majoring in AB Psychology. Colorphoto of this popular campus fig­ ure was taken by a Bayani­ han colleague—Edgar B. Soller, Midweek cartoonist. he might be a “hard-liner” against Com­ munism. That he is highly qualified for the job, there is no doubt. But it will take quite a while for us who are slow on the ball to start calling him Mr. Defense Secretary instead of Mr. Justice Secretary. The same is true with former Defense Undersecretary Alex Melchor, now execu­ tive secretary, and with Finance Secretary Cesar Virata, formerly head of the BOX and undersecretary for industry. Of course, there are many more cases — and before the month is through, we should have the complete Revised Cabinet List to memorize for our children’s cur­ rent events lessons. There is one good thing about it, though. Henceforth, we were made to un­ derstand, there will be no more positions elevated to cabinet rank. This means we’ll have ’ess names to memorize, and less cas bearing number 6 car plates to guess the owner’s name. However, I wish the President would do something about changing the titles of his official family, since he had revamped it, anyway. It can be disconcerting, the way we call them secretaries. (A case in point is the time I went to one of the departments and asked for the secretary. (A sweet young thing came up to me and introduced herself as the secretary. Now, I am not one to pass up the oppor­ tunity of batting the breeze with sweet young things — especially if the little woman is not around. (But although she appeared to be wellstacked in all departments, my business was to interview only the department head, if you get what I mean. (It turned out that she was the secre­ tary of the secretary, and I began to won­ der if she in turn had another secretary. (Luckily enough, my business was not urgent enough to spell the difference be­ tween national survival and catastrophe, so the interlude was not exactly unpleas­ ant. But what if every moment counted? The nation could have collapsed because of semantics.) I wish the President — and the public — will call department heads “ministers” (even if the word can be mistaken for simple “mister”). Naturally (again), I hope the sugges­ tion will not be taken to mean I am seek­ ing to become a delegate to the forthcom­ ing Constitutional Convention. I ani too partisan for that, dear demonstrating stu­ dents .. I believe In democracy. Anyway, whatever they may be called now or in the future, let’s hope the mem­ bers of the revamped cabinet solve once and for all the problems of this nation. We can’t afford to have revamps every once so often. Love and marriage go to­ gether like a horse and carriage, runs the song. Well, the horse has finally bolted. In a social survey, thou­ sands of couples were ask­ ed: “What is the vital in­ gredient for a happy mar­ riage?” Love came limping in well down the list. Most of the men quest­ ioned voted for “good cook­ ing and good housekeep­ ing” as .he most important, cualities in a wife. And the women listed “a good pay packet,” “faith­ fulness and steadiness,' and “kindness and conside­ ration” as the most ideai characteristics in a hus­ band. Only a tiny minority gave love the Numbe: Jne prior­ ity. Usually it ranked as an “also ran” — along witn “intelligence and common sense.” The survey — to find out what most people want from life — was made in America. What do married people want from life? It can be summed up in one simple word: Happiness. But one man’s idea of nappines, can be another man’s Pur­ gatory. As lar as the Americans are concerned, Happiness equals Money. Cash in the bank means Instant Bliss. Asked to define what constituted -hrppiness, ’ 99 out of 100 Americans ans­ wered: Plenty of money." Peace of mind and content­ ment came in a poor se­ cond. And, aftei that, the favorites were given as a good family life, reliable friends, and a satisfying job. That dear oid answei “good health" — which most people used to put above everything else — came fourth in the list, to the astonishment of the researchers. It wasn’t surprising that, the pollsters came to the conclusion that “most peo­ ple overestimate the power of money cc bring happi­ ness.” But just now would 16,000 guinea-pigs questioned have set about buying hap­ piness with a cheque-Dook and a ball-point pen? More than 5,000 of them plumped for a “let’s-getaway-from-it-all” holiday. But not one could say what he would do when he gov back. Another 5,000 said they would buy “something practical” — like new fur­ niture, a new car, or a new lick of paint for the house. Only 13 per cent thought, of luxuries — fur coats, diamond rings, hi-fi sets or a nanny foi the children. Right down at the tag­ end of the list were the people — seven out of 100 — who looked forwaro to spending the lot on “having fun.” Once the holiday is over, the house nas been repain­ ted and the new car in the garage, wha< then? Most peop.'c were ncr,ut.s of the idea of a lifetime ot leisure. Only cne in four dreamed of spending the rest of his rears sitting by the sea in e deck-chair a drink in one hand, a book in the ot»v ■ In fam, most ot them said they would hang on to their jobs once the novelty of big-money windfall had worn off. And 75 per cent went further. They said they would continue working be­ yond retirement age. Let’s say you won £1,000 on a lottery. You would certainly correspond to the results of the survey if you decided to save the lot for a rainy day invest it or put the cash down as a deposit on a house. So much for the cash-inhand side of happiness. Now for the question of a long life. According to the figures, the thought of living to 100 appeals to only half the population. The ocher half would de­ finitely not want to live that long. But .c was when the re­ searchers questioned wo­ men that some of the od­ dest facts appeared. An enormous lot of wo­ men said , they would be a lot happier If they could “wear the pants” In the household. The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion — Which tackled this aspect of the survey — discovered that most women secretly envy men. They think they lead "more interesting” lives. Twenty-nine per cent said they would change piaces, given the chance. But only six pei cent of the men envied their wives’ lot. As a sidelight, the inter­ viewers asked all their sub­ jects: “What is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made in your life?” Nearly everyone answer­ ed: “Not getting enough education.” Judging oy all the ans­ wers, it looks as though the ideal “happy person” is a young, male egg-head with a fortune in the bank, a regular job, and a wife who keeps the house spick and span and is a dab hand at crepes suzette. — LENFS Wednesday, reuiuury 11, iy/u Herald Mid-Week Magazine Page 11 Christine Rothschild Sheila Jean Collins Eugene Newbury The Killer Left By William T. Brannon There was a festive air among the third grade children at the Lakeview School in Zion, Illinois, on the last day of school before the Christmas vaca­ tion, Friday, December 20, 1968. They were espe­ cially convivial because of the party scheduled that afternoon in the room of one of their teachers, Miss Anna Mondragon, 22. Miss Mondragon was to become the bride of a teacher in another Zion school on December 28th. Fellow teachers at the Lakeview School were having a bridal shower for her on Friday afternoon. The kids had heard about it and had asked to be included. Friday morning, when the children came to school, they brought along their presents in gaily wrapped packages. His Trademark But Miss Mondragon had not eome to school that morning and a substitute had to be found to take her classes. This was very unlike the conscientious young teacher. Always before, If illness had pre­ vented her coming to work, she had notified the principal in ample time. But with a bridal shower sche­ duled for later in the day and her wedding only a week away, there was some excuse for this one de­ fault. It was fully expected that Miss Mondragon would show up for the party. When she didn’t, fellow teachers and school officials became alarmed. Repeated efforts to reach her by telephone had fail­ ed. Finally, the party was called off and the disappointed teachers and youngsters ment home. Later that afternoon two boys went for some place where the ice was solid enough for skating. Both had been warned by their parents not to try to skate on any deep ponds where there was danger of drowning if the ice broke. But there were shallow ponds In the Illinois Beach State Park near Lake Michigan and South of Zion, The boys began exploring the park, searching for a skating pond. Suddenly one of them stopped, ut­ tered a startled cry and pointed. Lying in the ditch was the al­ most nude body of a young woman. Dried biood covered her face, which was badly battered. There was no doubt that she was dead. The boys ran to the nearest building, the beach lodge, where they told the switchboard opera­ tor what they had discovered. She contacted Park Ranger Robert Needham, who notified Lake Coun­ ty Sheriff Harold Scheskie at his effice in Waukegan. Sheriff Sches­ kie, Detective Maurice Butler and other detectives hurried to the scene. Lake County Coroner Orville Clavey was close behind. The sheriff and his men stared down for a few moments at the battered body. There was blood on the face and the hair was matted with blood. A pencil had been jab­ bed into one eye. Most of the girl’s clothing had been pulled down around her an­ kles and some of it had been rip­ ped off and tossed Into nearby weeds. The officers guessed that she was in her early twenties. As Coroner Ciavey kneeled be­ side the body for a preliminary examination, he noted that a large quantity of grass had been stuffed into her mouth. Coroner Claviey said it appeared that the killer had held her throat in both hands and battered her head against a rock. He pointed to angry red marks, apparently made by fingernails, on the girl’s neck and throat. He said she apparently had been strangled but that he was unable to deter­ mine whether she had been raped. even though it had all the appear­ ances of a wanton, sadistic sex crime. “Do you have any idea how long she’s been dead?” asked Sheriff Scheskie. “Several hours,” the coroner re­ plied. “She might have been killed last night.” A search of the weed-fihed ditch and a wide area around it failed to turn up a purse or anything else that might contain identification. Meanwhile, friends of Anna Mondragon had continued to try to contact her and their alarm had grown when she couldn’t be found. Then they heard of the finding of the body in the park and contact­ ed Sheriff Scheskie. When they had identified the body as that of the missing school teacher, Sheriff Scheskie and his men began tracing Miss Mondra­ gon’s last movements. Friends told officers that Anna grew up in San­ ta Fe, New Mexico, and that her relatives still lived there. About two years before, when she had been attending Highland University in las Vegas, New Me­ xico, she had mot Eugene Newbury, now 23, who also was a student there. His romance with Anna Mondragon had blossomed and he had brought her to visit Zion, where he was bom and where he had spent most of his life. She had decided to take a teaching job at the Lakeview School. Page 12 Herald Mid-Week Magazine Wednesday, February 11, 1970 One teacher who had been close to Anna said the giri had expressed the hope that someday she could teach deaf children. The teacher said Miss Mondragon’s mother was de-'f. She said that Anna and Gene Newbury — who by that time would have been married — had made plans for graduate study at a New Mexico university in the summer of 1969. From the slain girl’s friends, Sheriff Scheskie learned that Gene Newbury lived with his parents in a mobile home. But he was not there when the sheriff and his men called. The father said that he last saw Gene and Anna about 6:45 Thurs­ day evening when they left the mobile home. He said Gene was taking Anna to keep an appoint­ ment with an eye doctor. After­ ward, they planned to do some Christmas shopping. When they left, the couple told him they would be back by 11 o’clock that night, but they didn’t show up. “I just can’t see how this could have happened,” the father said. “I have a feeling my son was mur­ dered. It’s a mystery.” In response to the detectives’ questions, he said his son and Anna had left in a red Volkswagen with 1968 Illinois license plates bearing the number, 743-861. An immediate search was launched for Eugene Newbury and the red Volkswagen. "Gene and Anna were very happy as far as my wife and I know,” the father said. “She always called him to wake him up in the morn­ ing. She ate with us twice a week She and Gene skiied together.” At the scene of the crime, mean­ while, crime lab technicians had made a thorough search. Between the nearest road and the weedy ditch, they found what appeared to be fresh tire tracks made by small' tires — the kind that would be on a compact car such as a Volkswa­ gen. Had Gene Newbury been out here with.his bride-to-be? Had they been assaulted? If so, what had happened to Newbury and the red Volkswagen? A radio alert went out to cruis­ ing squads of the numerous law enforcement agencies in Lake, Cook, DuPage and Will Counties to watch for the car. At the building where Anna Mondragon had lived alone in an apartment, neighbors said they did not recall having seen her since Thursday morning. They were positive they had not seen her at ah' on Friday. Throughout the night, the search for Gene Newbury and the red Volkswagen went on. Early Saturday, police helicopters joined the search for the red Volkswagen and the body of Gene Newbury On Saturday morning, Coroner Clavey had a report on the post mortem. It Indicated that Anna Mondragon had died of strangula­ tion by one of two means — by manual strangulation or by suffo­ cation from the grass which had been stuffed down her throat. The coroner said there were in­ dications that the girl had been tortured before she finally had been slain. Her face was badly bat­ tered and bruises on her head in­ dicated that it had been beaten against a rock. Although most of Anna's clothes had been ripped off and some had been pulled down around her an­ kles, the autopsy disclosed that ehe had not been raped or sexually molested. Wednesday, February 11, 1970 However, the removal of tho clothing suggested a seix motive. Coroner Clavey was well aware that this could be some form of deviation where sexual gratifica­ tion was realized in other than the conventional manner. He was reminded of two other recent cases Involving girls from the Chicago area: About two o’clock Sunday after­ noon, January 28, 1968, a doctor from Ames, Iowa and his eight­ year-old son, out hunting, driving along a gravel road, found the al­ most nude body of a very attrac­ tive giri who appeared to be about 18 to 20 years old. Her only gar­ ment was a sweat shirt. The girl’s body was lying face down in the ditch and it was al­ most obscured by weeds. Her knees were bent in a kneeling position. A coat that officers said “looked like it had been thrown there” was over the girl’s head in the manner of a shroud. A nylon cord was knotted around the victim’s neck. It’s knotted just once, but it’s tied tighter than hell," said a deputy called to the scene. The officers found the girls pan­ ties, jeans, purse and suitcase in a field just to the west of the ditch where the body rested. Papers in the girl’s purse identi­ fied her as Sheila Jean Collins, 19, a student at Iowa State and a re­ sident of Evanston, Illinois. When Sheriff Shalley Investigated at the university, he learned part of what had happened: Sheila had hoped to go home for the weekend. Her steady boy friend, a student at Northern Illi­ nois University at DeKalb, Illinois, had planned to pick her up In Ames and drive her to Evanston for the weekend. But her boy friend had been unable to make the trip and Sheila had gone to the “Going My Way?” board in Memorial Hall. Under the Going My Way sign there is a map of the United States divided Into zones, each with a number. There is a corresponding box for each number and anyone who wants to offer a lift or get a ride fills out a card and puts it In the proper zone box. Sheila had filled out a card. When the deputies looked, the card was still In the box. Her roommate told the sheriff that sometime before eight o’clock, Sheila had received a call from someone who said he had seen her card. He offered her a ride to Chi­ cago. Numerous students were quest­ ioned, but Sheriff Shalley couldn’t find anyone who had seen her get In a car. When he tried to find out the name of the man who had called her, her roommate said Sheila had told her the man had given his name but she had for­ gotten it. After Dr. William R. Bliss, Story County medical examiner, had examined the body and ordered It removed to a mortuary for an au­ topsy, one of the deputies said he had no doubt that it was a sex crime and that the> girl had been sexually abused or molested. "I can’t say that officially until the medical tests are completed,” he added, “but why else would someone take off most of her clothes and then strangle her?” After the autopsy, however, Dr. Bliss didn’t completely agree. He said the girl had been strangled and that it probabiy was a sex crime. But he also reported that the victim had not been raped and there was no evidence of sexual molestation. Anna Mondragon “The fact that her body was almost totally unclothed leads one to surmise we are dealing with someone who had a sex deviation,” said Dr. Bliss. Although 15 detectives were as­ signed to the case, they found no solid suspect. A great deal of at­ tention was given to the Going My Way board and numerous male students were questioned. But the detectives soon learned that Me­ morial Hall was open to anyone, not necessarily students. The killer probably was acquainted with the Ames area and knew of the system for providing rides; otherwise, he could have been any passing de­ viate with a car. The murder of Sheila Collins was still unsolved when the body of Anna Mondragon was found. So was another, more recent murder in Madison, Wisconsin. About 7:30 p.m., Sunday, May 26, 1968, a laboratory employe at the University of Wisconsin went to Sterling Hall, a physics building, to look for a friend . He didn’t find his friend but In a clump of bushes near the build­ ing he found the body of a beauti­ ful bionde girl. She was covered with blood from obvious stab wounds in the chest and neck. Her clothing had not been removed, but it had ben disarranged in the manner it might have been If this were a sex crime. The victim was Identified as Christine Rothschild. 18, of Chica­ go, who lived in an off-campus dormitory about a mile away. A search of the scene turned up three articles that might be con­ nected with the crime. One was a blood-stained hand­ kerchief under the girl’s head. Another was a stained pair of de­ nim trousers and the third was a stained, rusted laboratory knife. Both of these items were found in a closeby clump of bushes. Tracing the young victim’s background and her last known movements, Chief Ralph Hanson’s detectives soon learned that Chris­ tine was that rarity among women — a real beauty with brains. In Madison, the last time Chris­ tine had been seen alive was about 4:30 a.m, when she left her room to go to the bathroom. A night hostess had seen her. However, the ponce could find nobody who had seen Christine leave the dormitory, whose doors were locked until 5:30 a.m. It was known that Christine liked to go for morning walks every Sunday and it seemed certain she had done so this day. The building in front of which she was found was normally deserted on Sunday. There was road traffic, but it usually was not very heavy until after eight o'clock. From this it was believed that Christine had died sometime be­ tween 5:30 and 8 a.m. The autopsy tended to confirm this. The pa­ thologist reported also that Chris­ tine had suffered 14 stab wounds made by a knife with a sharp dou­ ble edge. They had been inflicted on her breasts, chest and neck. Since the beginning of the col­ lege year there had been some 40 assaults on college students and it seemed almost certain that the slaying of Christine, which Coro­ ner Chamberlain called the work of a psychopathic maniac, was a sex crime. But when the autopsy had been completed, the psychologist report­ ed there was no evidence of rape or sexual molestation. Despite an intensive investiga­ tion the killer still had not been identified when Anna Mondragon was murdered near Zion. All three cases had the earmarks of sex crimes, yet none of the girl victims had been sexually assault­ ed. Coui'd it be that the same de­ viate was responsible for all three deaths? The search for Eugene Newbury and his red Volkswagen continued throughout Saturday, but he was not found. Then about two o’clock Sunday morning, December 22nd, the Dane County police dispatcher in Madison, Wisconsin, answered the phone. “Id like to talk about a murder,” said the male voice at the other end. “Is the murder in Dane County?” the dispatcher asked. “No, it’s out of state.” “Where out of state?” "In Waukegan." The man said he was In a motel in Madison and would wait there for officers. Deputies were dispat­ ched to the motel, where they found a red Volkswagen with Illi­ nois plates and a young man who identified himself as Eugene New­ bury. Dane County sheriff’s deputies notified Lake County sheriff’s Scheskie, who drove to Madison with Stare’s Attorney Jack Hoogasian. They arrived about seven o’clock with a warrant, but New­ bury had not yet talked to his law­ yer and refused to waive extradi­ tion. He was charged with the mur­ der of Anna Mondragon. Meanwhile, Madison police ques­ tioned Newbury about the slayings of Sheila Collins and Christine Rothschild. They said he told them he was in Arizona in January at the time Miss Collins was killed, although he had been a graduate student at Iowa State University. According to the Madison police, he admitted that he was at Iowa State in Ames at the time Miss Rothschild was slain in Madison. Story County Attorney Vanderbur thought there weFe too many coin­ cidences and said he would inves­ tigate further. As this was written, Vanderbui had not been able to prove any connection between Newbury and Miss Collins. Newbury was tried before a Cir­ cuit Court jury in Waukegan and on Friday, August 1, 1969, he was found guilty of murder. Following the jury’s recommendation, Judge Lloyd A. Van Deusen had no choice but to impose the death penalty. However, as there have been no executions in Illinois, as in the ba­ lance of the United States, recent­ ly, pending challenges of the law, Eugene Newbury has been held in the Lake County jail, awaiting tho court’s decision.

Page 14 Herald Mid-Week Magazine Wednesday, February 11, 1970 Giant Crossword Joyce Haber Brickbats Fly Early in ’70s People-Who-Live-In-Glass-H o u s e s-Shouldn’tThrow-Brickbats-Dept.: As all Johnny Carson-watchers know, Truman Capote attacked best-selling au­ thoress Jacqueline Susann for her writings ("Valley Of The Dolls,” "Love Machine”). Capote also at­ tacked Miss Susann’s appearance. More recently he dismissed best-selling author Harold Robbins (“The Carpetbaggers,” "The Inheritors”) as "a typist.” My mother-in-law couldn’t put Robbins’ “Inheritors" down. Even if Capote can.) . . . And Robert Mitchum rapped top box office star Steve McQueen for being "dull,” both on screen and off. That’s not a very charitable way to approach a New Year, boys. What Were They Doing New Years? Victim Ha­ rold Robbins and his charming wife Grace WERE be­ ing charitable at the beginning of 1970: They took over three rooms at the Beverly Hills Hotel to enable 7,000 intimate friends to celebrate New Year’s Eve. As they did last year’s Eve at the Robbins house, eve­ ryone, but everyone seemed to stop by at one time or another during the night. In fact, at any one time, it seemed that all 7.000 were there. To guzzle champagne, to rock music, or just to protect them­ selves from the crush. Who says there’s safety in numbeis? Most of the Establisnment huddled together at tables in the outer room — the Paul Ziffrens, David Mays, Jerome Ohrbachs, Laurence Harveys, others braved the in­ ner sancti: among them, the Mixe Connors, Peter (Liza Minnelli) Allens, Vincent Minnelli with Lee An­ derson, Henry (Anita Louise) Bergers, Dr. Edward Ablon with Carolyn Stout, the Stuart Whitmans, Bert (Angie Dickinson) Bachrachs, Rouert Enders, Lizabeth Scott, Eva Gabor, and EVEN Princess Lallah Nezha with her husband, amoassador Ahmed Osman, all the way from Morocco. The invitations called for “black-tie or mod,” but comedian Marty Allen romped around in a romper as Baby New Year. New Year's Feat Over at Chasen’s, producer Irwin Allen repeated his mighty feat of New Year’s Eve 1969 by keeping four parties and another 7,000 people swinging all evening. TV’s Irwin (“Land oi'the Giants”) even took on all three networks: NBC’s Herb Schlossers, CBS’ Perry Lafferty’s, ABC’s Steve Mills and Bill Bradermans. Plus one authentic Juage, the Samuel Greenfields, at least one authentic agent, CMA’s Her­ man Rushes, several authentic intellects, the Will Durants, Clifton Fadimans, etc., a uanxer or two in­ cluding the Kye Sneoys, and lots of show people. Like Groucho Marx with Iris Linagren, the Edward G. Robinsons, Sugar Ray Robinsons, Don Marshall with Diahann Carroll (tor vice versa), the Robert Stacks, Richard Fleischers, Gary Conways and Sid­ ney Sheldons. Plus the mother-in-law who likes Mr. Robbins’ novels and Mr. Allen’s TV series, MEA syn­ dicated columnist Pauline Cramer (‘Polly’s Pointers”) with Paramount TV’s Bud Baumes. Close Friends Capping the night for not-so-many was the ex­ clusive (fortyish) surprise birthday party-dinner gi­ ven for Laugh-In producer George Schlatter by his ravishing wife Jolene. “I just decided to invite only close friends,” Jolene explained — but she still had to put up a tent to accommodate them all. The blacktied intimates included the Billy Wilders, Jack (Fe­ licia Farr) Lemmons, Irving Lazars, Arthur (Natalie Trundy) Jacobs, Bud Yorkins, Milton Berles, Shirley MacLaine with Sandy Vanocur (or vice versa), War­ ren Cowan with Lainie Kazan and Terne Brenner with Digby Wolfe, plus Laugh-Inners Gus (Goldie Hawn) Trikonises, (producer) Ed Frlendlys, Ruth Buzzi, Alan Seuss and Henry Gibson. There was not only a band but a blackout-type of producer Schlatter’s life and times, plus a parody of “Marne” with clever lyrics by writer Wilder. The song was trilled by five women, including Billy’s wife Audrey and Jack’s wife Felicia. And I quote: “Who gave the mighty networks a slap? George — put downtown Burbank on the map? George —” Good fun was had by all. (Last week's answer) Page 15 Wednesday, February 11, 1970 Herald Mid-Week Magazine It's a small world. From Iloilo to Indianapolis people enjoy San Miguel Beer.
