Ah, was that "In the Heat of the Night"?????

"Well, I've been waiting. Waiting here so long. But thinking nothing Nothing could go wrong. Ooh now I know She has a built-in ability To take everything she sees. And now it seems I'm falling Falling for her."

Which means it's GEORGE's turn.

This is a well-known show. There have been versions of this show made in other countries. (There have been a dozen different versions of the show, other than the original.) The original series is a US show that has been around for over 35 seasons. It is not a scripted show. The original show is a show where knowing other languages is not required, but can be very useful. Having a good memory and physical acumen are also useful. Also, where a show like Survivor has you trying to be the last one standing, this show has you trying to be one of TWO people winning.

Excellent resource. Thank you. And thank you for making it a gift article.

Amen! George

There was a little book sold in the bookstore called Christian Etiquette by Dorothy Owens. It was probably about 50 pages or so. It had a lot of advice on things like how to set a table, what fork to use, proper dinner conversation, etc. Most of the trivial details have become antiquated in today's society. The overall concept it stressed, though, remains true. Our "etiquette" should be concerned with making people feel at ease and should never create an atmosphere of stress. I would recommend the book and reiterate it should be used with that thought in mind.

Agree...

Ok. I'll try another way.

I did hit the NYTimes paywall. I'm very interested. Thanks.

We're really going back to the Silver age of Hollywood, pun intended.

It's a good band, okay? And yes, it is "Overkill".

Religious convictions aside, this is simply one powerful piece of music.

That's interesting. Human, I can understand. Not a super-hero freak. But WW, you haven't seen "The Dark Knight Rises"? That was Catwoman, rescuing Batman by blasting Bane's minions. Okay, let's try another one: "They call me MISTER Tibbs!" George

Agree.... and since this thread is about books of the '70s.. off topic as well... thanks. Happy Resurrection Sunday, one and all!

OK, same artist, different song. "Well, I've been waiting, Waiting here so long, But thinking nothing, Nothing could go wrong. Ooh now I know"

Do you ever get tired of trying to squeeze your political views in here?

Since "Survivor" has contestants out away from people, I'm not sure other languages would ever be useful.

Really enjoyed "The America we deserve" "Time to get tough" books :)
