2. Yes it is a distant time when people

would smoke on TV. I remember the "Jackie Gleason Show" weekly variety show from Miami Beach on CBS and Jackie would do an opening monologue where he would sit down with a "beverage" and light up a smoke and then do the monologue. They were great stories Jackie would tell about people he knew or things that happened. Gleason could tell a story with the best of them. Better than most in fact. It's also a distant time when "stars" would just go ride in coach and not make a scene about getting seated in 1st class. It takes me back to when air travel was really special like on Pan-Am when they were around. "Makes The Going Great" was the slogan.
