Coming from the South and growing up in L.A. where it was so segregated - worse than the South in many ways - all the people in my neighborhood were from the South.

The project died because Gorgeous George's wife refused to give up the rights.

The second type of man -- and I am in this category -- can fall in love with a woman only if he knows next to nothing about her.

Many people with cancer talk about the relief of having someone just listen.
