Kudos to former MLB slugger Darryl Strawberry, who has opened his second drug rehab facility near Orlando, Florida. It offers a 28-day residential treatment program. That former wayward soul has become a role model.
After 24 straight victories, the Golden State Warriors finally got tired of winning. Last night they were drubbed in Milwaukee by the Bucks. Bums.
Yesterday Navy defeated Army for the 14th straight time. The Midshipmen finished an impressive 10-2 and now will play Pitt in a bowl game. It was another disappointing season for the Black Knights of the Hudson, who finished 2-10. Five of their losses were by five points or less. Progress may have been made. Of the 22 starters on offense and defense, 14 will return. Army has not won more than four games during its 14 straight losing seasons.
Last night ME-TV, channel 33 on Cablevision in NYC, ran The Mole People (1956), a run of the mill, cheapie sci-fi flick starring John Agar and Hugh Beaumont. It’s not very good, but four aspects make it noteworthy. The first is the long, silly intro delivered by Dr. Frank Baxter, an English professor at UCLA. In six of his seven credits at IMDb, he is billed as Dr., four times as "Dr. Research." The film was directed by Virgil Vogol. I assumed he had a brief career characterized by similar works. Not so -- he was prolific, logging 80 credits, not including multiple stints on popular TV shows that vault his total well into the hundreds. The screenplay was written by Lazlo Gorog, which sounds like a pseudonym. He too was active in TV, amassing 29 writing credits, also not counting multiples on series fare. Lastly, Nestor Paiva was one of the supporting players. Although he lived only 61 years, he appeared in 305 titles! Here's a pic of that stalwart:
My thanks to the kind folks who bought and donated books today in Park Slope.
