Ms. Kent’s husband, Clark, attempted to start his own street roots newspaper after he was fired from his first job for exposing himself to female staff. “As God is my witness, I thought I was changing at super speed,” Kent responded in the ensuing lawsuit. However, since nobody knew he was secretly Superman, his statement was disregarded as the ravings of a lunatic. The paper was called “The Daily Planetoid”, which was sued out of existence for copyright infringement. A second attempt, called “The Daily Meteorite” folded after one issue. ---

If one eats a Clark bar while simultaneously smoking a Kent cigarette, one becomes a mild mannered reporter. With a penchant for doing weird things in phone booths. ---

FBI chief Jay Edgar Hoover suspected _Benson_ star Robert Guillaume as a suspect in the deaths of Bobby Kennedy and of Malcolm X because he had ties to both L.A. and NYC and was a black male, but he then remembered he’d hired others to do the shootings instead. ---

Bobby Kennedy played the part of Willy Loman in _Death of a Salesman_ in High School. He wasn’t particularly good at it; the director didn’t want to give him the part, but when you teach at Joseph P. Kennedy High School you have to make certain allowances. ---

The original, and all agree the best, version of _Death of a Salesman_ was a murder musical with a huge production number choreographed by Busby Berkeley as all the possible instruments that could be used to bludgeon somebody. A teenaged Orson Bean made his debut as a dancing tire iron, a role he reprised in _Brokeback Mountain the Musical_, which closed after one table read. ---

Songs from _Brokeback Mountain the Musical_ included _If Ever I Should Quit You_, _Drag Queenin’ My Heart Around_ and _Homo for the Holidays_. The lyricist and the composer were taken out around behind the studio and shot. It was ruled justifiable homicide, and the shooter was given a medal. ---

Patton’s post-War TV series _The Glory of Combat_ was cancelled early into its first season, mainly because he tended to sound like Donald Duck when he got excited. Having Cantinflas for humorous relief didn’t help any, either. ---
