  Perry Como’s career started with a dare. The teenage owner of a barbershop had done some singing locally, but when his friends dared him to get on stage and sing a few songs with Freddy Carlone, he was offered a job.  Following touring, recording and a brief return to the barber business, Como went on to host his own radio show and sign a recording contract with RCA records where he would sell millions of albums. In the summer of 1977, Wink Martindale sat down for an enthralling conversation with Como to discuss his career that spanned more than half a century across music, radio, film and television.

  Chagall loved blue. 
  “The blue of the sky which ceaselessly combats the clouds which pass, which pass…” (Baudelaire). 
  Marc Chagall’s journey began in his native Russia and concluded with his Parisian triumph, the extraordinary ceiling of the Paris Opera House, commissioned by André Malraux. 
  On the way, he embraced the spirit of the twentieth century without ever disowning his Jewish-Russian origins. 
  This work follows the path of the artist through his early works, his discovery of the United States and his passion for France. 
  Marc Chagall, unaffiliated with any movement but influenced by his encounters with Bakst, Matisse and Picasso, remains, undeniably, the painter of poetry.

  Broadway. The Great White Way.  In its theatres—one day you’re an understudy, the next a star.  Your name in headlines and lights. But Broadway has an underbelly. A troubling side through which to view humanity at its worst: corrupt, dark, venal, and violent.  
   
  For Detective Danny Clover every time he walked that street another case was always just a few footsteps away.  He knows everyone along Broadway—from panhandlers to operatic prima donnas—but he’s still sentimental about the street, forever an ever-changing wonderland of glamour that at any moment is ready to reveal its dark side. 
   
  These are his stories.
