Quotes From the News
Monte Carlo OP Dr. David M. Roberts, of his 83-year-old
patient. Sir Winston Churchill:

his age."
Washington "J" Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney (D-Okla.),
entering into the congressional record a United Press story
about a special citation of merit to United Features Service j
Columnist Thomas L. Stokes: i
"This latest recognition of one of our finest newspaper- i
men is not being given him for one stroke of genius, or even j
for that lucky break plus competency which often brings j
awards ... but for his unvarying high standards through
' a 37-year career ai a Washington reporter."
Montpelier, Vt. Mrs. Ella Ann Divoll, who will be 105 i
years old this year:
"I guess I'm not bad enough to go to the devil or quite j
good enough for the Lord to want me yet." j
Little Rock, Ark. Gov. Orval Faubus, on the expulsion j
of one of Central High school's nine Negro students from
the city's school system, of which he was critical: I
"She should have been allowed to go back to Horace j
Mann school." (A Negro high school).
TV Critic 'Fractured' by
Victor Borge Performance
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York W Victor
Borge, a gentleman who plays
t..e piano and the buffoon,
dropped into the cloistered
halls of CBS-TV Wednesday
night and uncloistered them.
I must say at the start that
Borge fractures me. If I have
- any bones to pick (careful,
boy, those are fractured
: bones), it would be to com
; plain that there wasn't
; enough Borge. I think some
- network should set "aside a
' day to the man.
i Enjoys Own Work
I suppose one of the reasons
why I enjoy Borge so
thoroughly is because he
seems to enjoy his own work
so thoroughly. He operates
with a kind of maniacal gusto,
. a rapturous detachment from
-sense and reason. His world
is nonsense, a nonsense com-
pounded of equal parts of
; gloat and bliss and clouds, all
; of it smothered with a coat
;lng of imbecilic relish.
"I have two - and - a - half
: brothers." Borge said at one
: point during the evening.
"Three half - brothers who
: make one-and-a-half and one
regular one who makes it
two-and-a-half. Incidentally,
; one of them is married to a
very lovely girl, very wealthy
: she owns a string of wish
ing wells."
Or: "I wish to thank my
: mother and father who made
this show possible. And my
iive children who .made it
necessary."
Working on a Sandwich
I knew everything would
turn put all right from the
very start when Borge ap
peared, surrounded by the i
gentlemen of the orchestra
and a sea of Lawrence Welk
bubbles. The orchestra was
working on "The Liechten
steiner Polka" and Borge was
working on a peanut butter
sandwich and the piano. "This
piano was made by Steinway
and Sons this afternoon," he
explained later. "Normally a
piano has 88 keys, but this
one has 89 because one of
the sons is a little off."
He then went into a com
mercial for his auto sponsor
and volunteered a recent pic
ture of his own model. It
turned out to be a mound of
snow. "The bad thing about
it, of course," shrugged j
Borge, "is that my wife is
still in it."
And so it went. Borge
slashed up some scores of
Schubert and Strauss and
Shostakovich and Debussy
and announced he was com
posing a typical Tin Pan
Alley hit. He opened two tiny
plastic boxes for inspection.
"They contain the first and
last notes Mozart wrote," he
declared solemnly.
Bambi Linn and Rod Alex
ander danced and Doretta
Morrow sang and a 12-year-1
old Abbott Lee Ruskm, play
ed the piano. Borge played
some gushy Kachmaninorr
and a medley of Gershwin,
the latter punctured by re
mote shots of Broadway and I
Central Park South.
Strangely enough, the re
motes showed the streets of
Manhattan deserted. I guess
everybody was in watching
TV and I suspect they were
watching Borge. At least I
hope so.
