Wednesday Wiggle
From pinterest.com, no attribution, apologies to whoever created it:
Amusing headline from a nypost.com editorial: “Cuomo’s new plan to punish New Yorkers: He’s staying in the race.” There is nothing more shameless and megalomaniacal than a career politician.
Headline from newsmax.com: “Flood Victims: Samaritan’s Purse Outpaces FEMA.” The agency seems dysfunctional.
Headline from foxnews.com: “Retailers caught red-handed using Trump’s tariffs as cover for price gouging.” Slimes. How should they be penalized?

Last night the Grit channel, 31–3 on OTA in NYC, ran Man of the West (1958), a rock-solid oater directed by Anthony Mann, starring Gary Cooper and featuring a cinephile’s dream cast: Julie London, Lee J. Cobb, Arthur O’Connell, Jack Lord, Robert J. Wilkie, Royal Dano, John Dehner, Frank Ferguson and three prolific Hollywood stalwarts: Dick Elliott, 387 credits, Tom London 661, and Herman Hack, an astonishing 841, which moves him into second place on my unofficial list of the all-time leaders in appearances, topped by Bess Flowers’ 913. These figures don’t even include multiple appearances on TV shows. Born in Illinois, Hack’s career spanned 1929-’67. Married from ’27 until his death, he was a father of two. He was taken by a heart attack at 68. He might have overtaken Flowers had he lived longer. Rounding out the top five: Harold Miller, 678, London, Franklin Farnum, 652. The numbers change, as fanatics must find and report additional appearances. For instance, I just checked Bess Flowers’ total. It’s up to 1121. Photo of Hack from Google Images:

I didn’t feel the heat until it was time to pack up the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to the woman who overcompensated me for four hardcovers in Russian, and to Wolf, who did the same for two in Russian and a glossy pocket pictorial, Gaugin: A Spiritual Journey by Christina Hellmich and The Hunters by W.E.B. Griffin; and to the gentleman who bought The New American Desk Encyclopedia.
