He left Brooklyn many years ago but Brooklyn never left him. His childhood was a rich gumbo of passions: the Dodgers, radio shows, comic books, 78 rpm records, stickball, punchball, movies, and of course the Dodgers. From these ingredients his life's main interests were formed: jazz, classical music, writing, and (still) baseball. Brooklyn also gave him Brooklyn Girl, who has been his best friend for more than half a century. One lucky kid.

Question of the day
Have you ever heard anyone use the word “dentifrice,” except in a commercial?
Clearly, Vivian, you've been watching too much PBS and listening to too much NPR. This is from the Colgate website (what could be more authoritative?): "Colgate Total 12 Toothpaste is an effective decay preventive dentifrice..... "
I'm sorry, Brooklyn kid, but I've never even heard a "dentifrice" commercial.
