Major Fenton and his "de amore" as the left bank of the Grand Hotel of Paris on Rue de Vaugirard look at it."The newly established government in Egypt demanded that the former Presidente be discharged from his hospital bed walls..moved back to the bars of his prison walls.
"He’s well enough to forgo the hospital routine," said the Cairo prosecutor."Get him back to the mojos he committed during his 4 decades of power by insidious role playing." he added.
"Once a crumb bum, always a crum bum"

A flash back to the Pump Room of the Beverly Hills Hotel...the Major and the renowned director and "Playhouse 90" director Delbert Mann, sharing gin and tinkling ice cubes. Delbert having just masterminded "Marty", a tour de force for Hamden Connecticut(Quinnipiac College) Italian born Ernest Borgnine.
Identifying with "Whata ya doing tonight, Marty?", the Studio City denizen, made the role his own, sweeping aside other contenders for the enviable Oscar
His 95 year old"viva Italia" divinity, abandoned his Studio City reality scene, playing out its inevitability att Cedars Sinai.. across the Hollywood Hills. ......

Meanwhile in the City that never sleeps . At Gracie Mansion, the Mayor, "Bloomie" to his inner circle, their multi millionaire penned his legacy with the Depoartment of Interior. The Jamaica Bay of pelicans&geese, the swamps to be given a multimillionaire face lift..
A whooping park and trails to become the public domain, Bloomie en route to his dollar a year
twelve year majesty.

Up in the Bronx, at the new Yankee Stadium .The Bombers
wily Raol Abanez smashed a grand slam into the second decfk, above Monument
Park.
"My teammates....a three and one pitch by the blue jays hurler. Swisher may have worn him out,working the count from O and2, to 3 nd tywo....finally striking out. But the collective team effort ..." as Raol line drived his zzinger ,the athletes blown away with high fives.
"Less is more"" said the clutch hitter, refining an apocryphal point of view..
A grand slam ,breaking a two two tie,.the bottom of the 8trh. The Yankees in first place in the East, the second half starting ,the players in first place by 9 games...
Hail Raol

But the bastions of the food pantries: tuna peanut butter fruit juices...had but 48 hours before the checkers would press the delete key stroke of their scenario.Less is more?
No brain lock here. Raol having total recall

Mike Tyson, the former heavy weight champ, sparring for the prime time Broadway ring, 12 confessionals, would have something to say about that, I’m sure,", said Major Fenton to his own sparring partner of an eye patient, his quiet minded ophthalmology partner, at the Midwood theater balcony... .... .his wife and better half.
"Y’ think Major," she asked in her most tactful Chicago Hyde Park demeanor. No Mel Torme. ("the Velvet Fog" playing out. Nor University of Chicago’s Robert Hutchins or Saul Bellow playing out their unitary field theory...no fragmentation here.
"Tyson got it all together. He found himself , Major. A gentle soulf., Married, a daughter accepted at Duke University.
" Raises pedigree pigeons. What more could he wishfor, neighbor?"
"Like Whopee Goldberg’s gay guest says" You could grow up and be like me... or you could be
Mike Tyson. We both were bullied as kids."

But the reality scene’s mojo...the meaning of our meaning- during the penultimate Santa Ana winds blowing thru the City that never sleeps, that made for the greatest city on the planet morphing as a Mojave Desert Turkish bath global village (San Bernardino declaring bankruptcy) loop.
Bobby Kennedy’s daughter cited in a cop’s traffic accident ticket, made a long apology to the
truck driver and the other motorists she bruised, having a seizure..
Seeing her Miss Universe like stance, former Governor Cuomo’s wife, her blonde tresses down
to her shoulders, reading her apology without glasses, was riveting. Not that she was in the upper tier of Cleopatra, the humbling playing out.....as we passed her father in the U.S. Senate while making our way to argue the passing of the Public Television Act of 1967. In the suc Commerce Committee.
IX
Those Santa Ana winds...driving the temperatures to the high 90's hundreds, the force of nature driving the man against man flaring. High peak of civil unrest: knifings, rapes, murder, suicide."When will it cease, neighbor?."Nobody knows. Not even Lamont Cranston.(Victor Jory).."The Shadow knows"
Television’s ten minutes of fame" driving the ego trip angst to a brain bloc.

A flashback into the Beverly Hills loopl of Igor Stravninsky, an emigre Russian composer, living out his creative whirl on North Wetherly Drive, while Delmore Schwartz, a genius poet in his own role at USC’s English department, "wasted" away his own world grip in the semi tropical
ambience of the Trojan campus...
Flittering away his gifts behind the wheels of a Town&Country, a barrio based senorita from Belevdere Gardens, alongside, her Maria Montez tresses, assaulting the senses of the on lookinglaw students.
Poor Delmore, never ever able to hold on to his own wheels, Saul Bellow’s "Humboldt’s Gift" While Stravinsky conducted his Firebird at the Wilshire Ebell interior band shell.
Those race track touts of Post&Paddock’s George and Dolly, not able to get a handle on his jollies favor.,Tto rehabilitate him, back into the English Department role.....throwing the tout sheets into the Inglewood red trolley cars..destined for Archie Leach’s ( Cary Grant’s) Hollywood race track.....(" el presidente"_)

Meantime the junky Knicks . swishing the pumpkin between the Houston Rockets and Big Apple Linnsanity.... was playing out.
The 35 game Linnsanity had mesmerized the Madison Square Garden faithful until hysteria and adrenalin ran out. But his teammates in the meantime made the playoffs.
The Houston management with their 7 foot 3 inch Chinese center(retired because of a broken leg) offered Linn, a free agent, a 3 year deal for 25 million..
The Knicks had until last night to respond . They did not, therefore Linnsanity tweeted "My endearing gratefulness," for the play construction ,"during our 35 game tenure.."
XII
Divine Providence playing out, the Santa Ana winds swirling about the City that never sleeps.
RighI ‘Iron Man Mike’

The genius of human engineering and the unitary field theory is the docking of the Enterprise shuttle on the deck of the Intrepid......
The 57 ‘ space ship to JFK..... its Hudson River voyage with tugboat Annie’s escort unto the Intrepid’s deck..... playing out its scenario from its Cape Canaveral booster launch.
"One small step for man. A giant leap for mankind".
*Completely unconscious of the Aurora, Colorado insanity playing out at the Warner Brothers showing of its "Batman" sequel, pulling its Parisian "business as usual" premiere.
