From Wiki: Silly Putty (also marketed by other companies as Thinking Putty, Bouncing Putty, Tricky Putty and Potty Putty), is the Crayola-owned trademark name for a class of silicone polymers. It is marketed today as a toy for children, but was originally created by accident during research into potential rubber substitutes for use by the United States in World War II. The company's manufacturer is based in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Jazz from Italy, 1959
Cool jazz from Italians Basso/Valdambrini quintet. Of course I have never heard of them before because I am slowly trying to overcome the snobbish attitude that jazz needs to be played by Americans or it sounds like a re-creation. I liked this, so who knows, maybe there's hope for me yet.

Good Neighbors
North meets South (America) on the 1957 album The Good Neighbors Jazz featuring Brazilians Moacir Peixoto and Casé, with Major Holley and Jimmy Campbell of Woody Herman's Big Band.. Simple yet satisfying.
Door-to-door gynecologist rings the bell and says, "At your cervix!"
Selected pages from the 32 page book, Pardon My SEX, Doctor by Vic Herman. There's no publication date, but it appears to be either the late 50s or early 60s.
During a career as a cartoonist, illustrator, author, teacher and painter, Vic Herman created many advertising characters such as "Elsie the Cow" for the Borden Company, "Johnny" for Philip Morris, "Winnie the Wac" for the United States Navy, and "Sad Shad" for Johnson & Johnson. He was the author of over 52 books and had cartoons and magazines in many national magazines. He was also a teacher for the Boards of Education in Los Angeles and San Diego.

The luckiest woman who ever lived
"In Spanish, Rubirosa means a red rose, but to me it's a black eye," she said, adjusting a big black patch over her right eye. "He said to me, 'If you do not marry me now I will marry Barbara Hutton.' I said, 'That is a smart idea.' He said, 'Why won't you marry me?' and I said, 'If I must tell you the truth, I am in love with George.' [This refers to George Sanders, the actor. George and Zsa Zsa are in the midst of getting a divorce. "She is discarding me like a squeezed lemon," George says.] And so then Rubi hits me. I am the luckiest woman who ever lived. He might have broken my head or my nose.… A man only beats a woman if he loves her. I always loved George, the love of my life. After our divorce, George and I will be beaus." Rubirosa denied that he had proposed to Zsa Zsa, recently anyway. Miss Hutton, when asked to comment on Zsa Zsa's announcements, said, "I am a lady."
