THEATER PREVIEW
Children find Neverland, never grow old at Winspear
By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com
Since 1902 when J.M. Barrie wrote and published his book Peter Pan, the story has been told through countless incarnations in plays, novels, film, television movies and musicals. Some of those titles are “The Lost Girls,” “Wendy,” “Peter & Wendy,” “Peter Pan and the Only Children,” and “Peter and the Starcatcher” to name only a few. The National Touring Company of “Finding Neverland” will fly into Dallas’ Winspear Opera House with another twist on the classic,
“Peter Pan,” Tuesday, July 11 through Sunday, July 23. In this production, a “prequel” of sorts, Barrie finds his inspiration to write the story of Peter Pan from the goings-on of four young sons living with their beautiful, widowed mother. The brothers take him on a magical tour of their own enchanted, make-believe land where they never grow old. Historically, the role of Peter Pan in Dallas has belonged to Texans Mary Martin from Weatherford, and Sandy Duncan of Henderson. Cathy Rigby, a Dallas favorite for WINSPEAR cont'd on page 9

sequence filmed approximately six minutes prior to the assassination of an ambulance picking up an epileptic seizure victim in Dealey Plaza, an event that later became part of a conspiracy theory. The Texas School Book Depository is visible in the background. Because there was a possibility of movement in this brief glimpse of the sixth floor window, this film was of particular interest to the House Select Committee on Assassinations investigation and later film analyses. More significantly, Bronson’s film includes two seconds of the assassination— one of only four known home movies to capture the fatal shot on film. Although the Bronson film features the farthest perspective of these four films, it remains relevant more than half a century later as it helps disprove an ongoing theory suggesting that a Secret Service agent in the follow-up car accidentally fired the shot that killed President Kennedy. With this donation, The Sixth Floor Museum now owns the copyright to three of the four films that recorded President Kennedy’s assassination, including eyewitness films made by Abraham Zapruder and Orville Nix.

MULL IT OVER
AUTOMOBILITY
By David Mullen
By David Boldt
The career of former college football player and head coach Jackie Sherrill has not been without controversy, which seems to follow him. Or maybe he follows controversy. He left his first head coaching position at Washington State University in 1976 after just one season to become head coach at the University of Pittsburgh, where he had been an assistant coach under Johnny Majors. In 1982, he became head coach of Texas A&M, had a record of 52-28-1 and led the Aggies to two Cotton Bowl wins. While not found guilty of any NCAA infractions, he would resign in 1988 when the Aggies were put on a two-year probation. Now out of college football except for a few articles and radio appearances, Sherrill, 73, is champion of a different kind of football: a political football. He is leading the cause of stem cell therapy, still not approved in the U.S. “I had a rotator cuff tear, and the only response is they go in and repair,” Sherrill said. “It is not an easy operation. I had already had one.” Influenced by friends and other athletes who had received stem cell therapy, when he needed the second shoulder operation, he began looking into the option. Sherrill found a Houston-based biotechnology company called Celltex, which uses proprietary technology to isolate, multiply and bank autologous (one’s own) adult mesenchymal stem cells to be used for regenerative adult stem cell therapy. Celltex is registered with the FDA. “When I found out that David Eller was the CEO of Celltex — he was the chairman of the board at A&M when I was at A&M — I called him.” Sherrill had the stem cell therapy for his shoulder in Mexico and became a backer of the cause. Since then, former Dallas Cowboys stars Bob Lilly and (University of Pittsburgh alum) Tony Dorsett have come out in support of stem cell therapy. A lot of time is being spent researching the benefits of the treatment for concussions (a major issue in the NFL), Parkinson’s disease,
The stutter step that has afflicted Alfa Romeo’s return to the U.S. has been difficult to watch, both as a reporter and enthusiast. Admittedly, my Alfa ownership has suffered its own stutter as a ’74 Berlina was disposed of shortly after its warranty expired and an ’82 Spider was quickly traded for a Guzzi LeMans. With that, I’ve remained a fan of both Alfa products and Alfa’s promise. And few cars speak to that promise as well as Alfa’s new(ish) 4C, a 2-seat, mid-engine device that could serve as the Dino Ferrari enthusiasts have been hoping for. Thankfully, it comes to us as an Alfa. The 4C, whether Coupe or available Spider, is as visually pure as a car built for volume production can be pure, its composite body shell wrapped tightly around the Alfa’s innovative carbon fiber chassis. Sitting beside Alfa Romeo’s legendary Tipo 33 racecar at both the New York and Chicago auto shows last year, the 4C — while substantially bigger — looked for all-the-world like the logical successor to the 33, separated by perhaps four years rather than four decades. At the front, the Alfa’s iconic shield continues to serve as its centerpiece. With this nose you need to watch out for the occasionally sharp approaches in the driveway, but it’s a small price to pay for the drama that unfolds as you approach the 4C with a key. In profile we found the 4C compressed visually, but that’s to be expected with a mid-engined design and the engineering mandate to centralize mass. For the American (or “massive” American) market another two inches of wheelbase — and cockpit — would have been good, but you learn to appreciate the end result, which is far more dynamic than Porsche’s Boxster or Cayman. Staggered wheel and tire sizes also enhance the competition vibe, while making it difficult (impossible) to rotate your tires front to back. From the rear three-quarter view, the Alfa is all business. Unlike Porsche, whose cylinders are horizontally opposed and thereby lower, the Alfa’s backside conceals a transversely mounted four sitting vertically in the chassis. With that, the rear deck becomes higher and the resulting visibility becomes smaller. You can still see out David Boldt brings years of the Alfa (it isn’t, after all, a bread van), but of experience in automotive you’re harder pressed to see in. retail sales and public relaOf course, after the walk around it’s time tions to his automotive reto actually drive.

The gauges offer a clear, informative display, while the ventilation controls look to be taken from the Fiat 500; you know, the one Fiat offered in 1961. And the Alpine stereo impresses as one picked up at Best Buy on their closeout table. If Alfa wants to incorporate a vintage look, I’d suggest Becker or Blaupunkt. Or do without audio; the best sounds are right behind you. None of the small disappointments, however, will overshadow the visceral excitement of lighting the candle. Once lit, the Alfa 4C is, in a word, absolutely awesome. Raucous and/or rowdy, if you The Alfa Romeo 4C like the commotion that accompanies

From 1962 to 1965, Sherrill played football at the University of Alabama and won two national championships. His head coach was Paul “Bear” Bryant. “It wasn’t easy,” Sherrill said, about playing for the coaching legend. “It wasn’t easy to play for Vince Lombardi. It wasn’t easy to play for Coach [Tom] Landry either. But the best way to describe it is Coach Bryant was a man’s man. Everything you would want to be. He was a very physical man — 6-foot-4 in stature — but he was also very compassionate. He did a lot of things for a lot of people and no one would ever know it.” Sherrill credits Bryant with many of the innovations that he applied to his coaching. At Washington State, he mentored Jack Thompson, “The Throwin’ Samoan.” “People were talking about his throwing motion,” Sherrill said. “So I put my arm around Jack and said ‘I want you to throw the ball to the receiver and knock him out of bounds.’ And he did.” He told Thompson to stick with the same throwing mechanics, just take a little off of the ball. At Pittsburgh, Sherrill was 50-9-1 and had a staff that included future Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson. “Jimmy was extremely bright,” Sherrill said. “Very intelligent. He went about things differently, but was an outstanding player’s coach.” He also coached future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino at Pitt. “Like Jack [Thompson],” Sherrill said, “I filmed Danny’s throwing motion. I told him ‘You are going to
hear from a lot of people that want to change your motion. Don’t change a thing.’ He had the quickest release of any quarterback that I ever coached.” As coach of A&M, Sherrill was credited with starting the “12th Man KickOff Team,” made up of walkon players to gain a spot on the varsity special team. “You know there are 40,000 students here. I think I can find 10 guys that can cover kickoffs with no regard for their body,” Sherrill said. “So I put in the newspaper. Two hundred and fifty-two students showed up to tryout including two females.” Sherrill finished his college coaching career with a 13-year stint at Mississippi State University, where he is recognized with turning the football program around. His 75 wins are the most in school history by a head football coach. With his football coaching days over, Sherrill, who lives in Wimberly, Texas, still visits his alma mater Alabama regularly. But he doesn’t have any aspirations to return to the sidelines wearing a headset. “You miss the players,” Sherrill said. “Could I coach today? Yes. I don’t know if I can handle the other stuff. College football is better than it has ever been. And the face of the university today, with the exception of maybe Duke and North Carolina, is the head football coach.” Sherrill is hoping for U.S. government approval of adult mesenchymal stem cells for regenerative therapy soon. But he is still having an impact on football by spreading the word of the benefits of stem cell therapy, and is helping retired players cope with life after football.

Fashions from funk to disco arrive soon
leahfraizer.com
Fashion’s grooviest trends have made a colorful comeback, recycling bell sleeve blouses and wide leg trousers to floral print embroideries and more. While vibes of the ‘70s splash the runway, its cultural influences around Dallas have now emerged. Spotting inspirations in retail, interior, art and design, the popularity of the era has now taken over – leaving a trail of vibrancy and freedom well throughout the city. Capitalizing on fashion’s flashback, Vintage Martini co-owner Ken Weber will take the ‘70s to new heights with a new fashion exhibit, “Night Fever: Fashions from Funk to Disco,” slated to open at Galleria Dallas on Wednesday, Sept. 20. The world of curated exhibits is nothing new for vintage expert and costume enthusiast Weber. After a successful showing at his 2016 exhibition, “Decadence – Fashions of the 1920s,” Weber now returns to showcase and educate guests on the flair and panache of ‘70s fashion, but also its historical relevance. “The seventies are really so much more diverse than people realize,” Weber notes. “While everyone is quick to identify the disco-inspired fashions of Studio 54, it is important to remember that fashions

Groovy comes to Galleria. were also influenced by the Vietnam War as well as the women’s and gay liberation movements.” The free exhibition will run until Nov. 1, featuring over 75 authentic garments and accessories from the ‘70s. The diverse collection will unveil looks by American, French, Italian and Japanese couture designers, including works by Halston, Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, Stephen Burrows, Giorgio Sant’Angelo, Hanae Mori, Yves Saint Laurent, Chloe and Roberto Cavalli. Many of the garments will be on loan from the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design Texas Fashion Collection, which is one of the world’s most coveted private collections. “This era of fashion was revolutionary in many ways,” Galleria Dallas director of marketing Martha Hinojosa said. “This is probably the first full decade where women wore pants in all aspects of their life. Bright colors are everywhere and ethnic flavors surged with Moroccan themed capes and Hungarian peasant blouses. We FASHION cont'd on page 9
a bar fight, you’ll probably like either seat in Alfa’s 4C. And if you enjoy the 4C’s immoderate cacophony during the warm-up phase (where you can take a deep breath and summon what’s left of your courage), know you’ll love it as revs approach the 6500 rpm redline. Of course, with its impressive power to weight ratio (our test 4C weighs under 2,500 pounds, roughly the same as the last-gen Miata) you also need appropriate control. Thankfully, the 4C’s steering, stopping and cornering limits are fully appropriate to the Alfa’s power and torque. Only “stupid” will get you into trouble, along with — we’d admit — those SUVs and Super Duties that just can’t see you. This platform is soooo made for the track, but guaranteed to reduce the tedium associated with the 9-to-5 commute. And if the commute is on a beautiful summer day, know that the Spider’s top does come off. Visually, we prefer the continuity of the Coupe to the slightly interrupted look of the Spider, along with a Monroney in the mid-$60s for “our” Coupe compared to mid-$70s for the test Spider. Of course, if the 4C had been brought to the States as a Ferrari Dino the window would easily be six figures — and you’d have to get your name on a list. I hate lists. In my ZIP code, which is popping with eye-dropping cars everywhere but my garage, I’ve seen only one 4C, except for this press car sitting in my driveway. Ferrari’s 458? Of course. Lamborghini’s Hurracan? Of course. And while there are more Infinitis, Benzes and BMWs than you can shake the proverbial stick at, from my (limited) perspective there’s been but one sighting of the mid-engine Alfa. And I’m here to tell you that Alfa’s apparent absence is an absolute travesty. Hopefully, my neighbors with money are working to correct that, while the suits at FCA and Alfa seem more intent on a down-the-road merger rather than of-the-moment marketing. Despite the shortage of Alfa retail in Dallas/ Fort Worth (the Eagle operation on Lemmon Avenue is now doing Honda oil changes), the 4C is worth pursuing. If you — the reader — buy or lease one new, perhaps I can buy your 4C used. And what a wonderful world that would be.

Sp tlight SHAKEN BABY ALLIANCE
Child victims of Abusive Head Trauma have advocates, due to this nonprofit’s mission of support, prevention and the promotion of justice. and how justice can be served. We share our vast experience, which includes consulting on more than 100 serious physical child abuse cases each year, with professionals directly involved with such cases. No one else has this capacity.
By Sally Blanton
sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.
QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?
A Our mission is threefold: to provide sup-
port for victim families and professionals, to prevent child abuse, and to provide justice for the innocent victims of child abuse. SBA was founded in 1998 by three mothers, whose children were victims of Shaken Baby Syndrome and could find no resources or support. Victim families not only needed resources, but training and information were essential for professionals as well. Justice needed to be served in the courts, and technical support was needed by both the defense attorneys and prosecutors. Prevention, identification, investigation, and treatment are critical and require a multidisciplinary approach. Since 1998, we supported 4,500 victim family members, trained 5,000 high school students, educated 15,000 professionals, and provided 1,650 case consultations.
Q H ow many clients are served each year?
A We provided support to 358 victim family
members, trained over 1,715 professionals and 858 high school students and provided 171 case consultations.
Q T ell us the name of a volunteer who always goes beyond the call of duty?
A Lynn Switzer, an attorney with Switzer/
Oney. Before founding Switzer/Oney law firm, Switzer devoted 14 years of her 18-year career as a prosecutor. To date she has tried over 90 cases involving crimes against our most vulnerable victims, including the elderly, persons with disabilities and children.
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?
A Since my daughter Tiffany was shaken, I
have a unique voice. I know what is needed
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A It is very rewarding to be able to meet with
a family in crisis and help them understand what has happened to the child they love so very much, and be there to listen and walk them through the maze of legal, medical and educational obstacles that families of children with permanent inflicted brain injuries must navigate. It is equally rewarding to talk with a group of high school students who may be pregnant, parenting or just babysitting and see their faces when they understand how to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome and how to cope with a crying baby. And finally, working with professionals dedicated to finding justice for these innocent victims is beyond rewarding.
QW hat does the future hold for your
nonprofit? At the Shaken Baby Alliance, we dream big. We never want to see a child shaken again. We want more staff to handle family support and follow up with our families. We want to offer our Advanced Forensic Training in Child Physical Abuse and Case Consultations to every professional and community who need our services and every high school who asks. We want a high level of evidenced-based outcomes to attract new resources. We have a solid start with recent grants from Amon Carter, Rees Jones and Meadows Foundation, but we need donations to sustain our quest for justice.

MOVIE TRAILER
Scary ‘It Comes At Night’ saddled with unreal plot
A24
Joel Edgerton (center) stars in “It Comes At Night.” @chiccywood
Some filmmakers want their movies to stay with you long after you’ve left the theater. They want it to be thought-provoking or haunting so that you find yourself talking and thinking about it for days on end. Instead of becoming one of those movies that sticks with you, “It Comes At Night” is quite scary and loaded with the constant fear of oncoming dread … but only for 91 minutes. Director/writer Trey Edward Shults’ desired aftereffect ends as the credits roll and the frustrating premise and plot hoping to be a think piece on morality is nothing more than a series of creepy scenes and jump scares. “It Comes At Night” takes place in some sort of post-apocalyptic world in which an airborne disease is wiping out humanity. A married couple, Paul (Joel Edgerton) and Sarah (Carmen Ejogo), live in a massive remote forest home with their son, Travis (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), Travis’ dog Stanley, and Sarah’s father, Bud (David Pendleton). The unknown disease is introduced fairly quickly as Bud begins the film very sick. It would ruin a handful of surprises to explain the how, but eventually, Will (Christopher Abbott) shows up at their home and pleads with Paul and Sarah for help. He has a wife, Kim (Riley Keough) and son, Andrew (Griffin Robert Faulkner), who are running out of food and water while hiding out in a nearby abandoned house. This situation presents the movie’s main argument: Do you help other people or shut off from

Heat a grill to medium high. Place a perforated grill pan on the grate. In bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil until coated. Season with salt and pepper (remember that the prosciutto is salty). Cut the slices of prosciutto into quarters and use a quarter of a slice to wrap each shrimp. Grill the shrimp on the grill pan until opaque, about 5 minutes, turning once.

the outside world thus saving yourselves? Meanwhile, Travis spends his nights being awoken by some extremely disturbing and frightening nightmares. If they weren’t so completely terrifying, you may begin to notice that they serve no purpose other than scaring you. They aren’t premonitions and the only thing in question is if these are truly dreams or if Travis is actually sleepwalking. Despite the shaky, unconvincing plot, “It Comes At Night” is an expertly crafted movie. This is a film all about mood and every single shot is framed to maximum creepy levels by cinematographer Drew Daniels. Brian McOmber’s score is just as intense as some of what is being portrayed on screen. It pounds away as the volume rises in such a way that the words “nerve wracking” does not do it justice. Joel Edgerton is an actor who seems like he should be a massive star at this point. As an executive producer on “It Comes At Night,” he clearly is invested in the film, but that doesn’t particularly show on screen. He and Carmen Ejogo have little to no chemistry and if not for seeing family photos of them, you’d have a hard time believing they were married.
Kelvin Harrison Jr. has the most well written role, but he is just as jumpy and skittish as his character’s dog. He creeps around their house, eavesdrops on conversations and just acts like an overall weirdo. Sure, he’s been a witness to the apocalypse, but he seems like as much of a threat to everyone as whatever “it” is that is outside his home’s walls. The slickest aspect of “It Comes At Night” is the viewer’s own paranoia. It is infectious and spreads seemingly as quickly as the unknown illness. That helps it overcome a lot of the overdone, typical plot elements that you’ve seen in a dozen post-apocalyptic, non-zombie related tales. If this had been made by a large studio with a bigger budget, it would have been a complete disaster. While watching it, “It Comes At Night” is truly scary and feels like a think piece on humanity, life and death. The problem is that once it’s all over, every single catastrophic event could have been avoided by choosing one side of the moral dilemma that Shults’ screenplay attempts to argue. If you told two characters, “Hey, use common sense and don’t do that,” there literally would not be a movie.
Heads up: July Fourth, the hamburger and hot dog holiday, comes around next week. About now maybe you’d like some inspiration for those all-American freedom foods. Head over to Haystack Burgers and Barley. Starting with the first word in the name, the burgers jump off the menu as unusual. The Haystack Burger draws its moniker from the signature tangle of fried onion strings layered on the thick beef patty as a topping.

candace@candysdirt.com If you read CandysDirt.com, you know that love stories are our thing. Especially when a house is involved, or a tear down, or a great Candace Evans family reunion. Well, here’s another one, but this time it’s a two-story Foursquare in Winnetka Heights. This home was in desperate need of some love when Jim and Kathy Calhoun purchased 123 S. Winnetka Ave. in 1978. “This is a labor-of-love, come-a-longway, urban-pioneer story,” said listing agent and fellow Winnetka Heights resident Diane Sherman, who has listed this fully restored beauty for $539,500. “The wallpaper was wild!” I can see what she means. Of course, the transformation will astound you! “It was originally a single family home, built in 1913, that had been turned into an upper and lower duplex after World War II,” Sherman said. “Jim and Kathy had a ranch-style home near Kimball High School, but wanted the romance and space of an older two-story Foursquare. They restored this one and did their best to do so in a sensitive way so as to preserve the feel of the home.” They did an outstanding job, we think! We love that the wide wood trim and millwork has remained
intact and unpainted throughout the first floor of this four-bedroom, three-bath, 2,704-square-foot Foursquare in one of the hottest neighborhoods in Oak Cliff. This is a sought-after area, thanks to its historic character as a preservation district, its proximity to downtown Dallas and the Bishop Arts District, and its pedestrian-friendly streets. If it sounds like it’s too good to be true — why would someone put such a stunningly restored home on the market, you wonder? — it’s because they are downsizing. “They are moving to Plano to live with their eldest son so they can age in place in another big two-story with a pool,” Sherman said. Multi-generational living! And wouldn’t you appreciate some of the really beautiful, personal touches in this house. This is a frontporch neighborhood, where you can meet friends from all walks as they trot by your front door. “Jim is a musician,” Sherman said. “He says the front porch has been his ‘favorite room in the house,’ where he reads the paper, drinks coffee, plays his guitars, watches the world go by and waves to the neighbors.” It sounds absolutely perfect, doesn’t it? We think it does, too! Every room in this home feels so perfectly classic and warm — an excellent combination of historic details and clean lines that pairs well with the Calhoun’s lovely collection of mission and traditional furniture. Me? I’m more likely to spend my time gazing out of the wavy glass above the two window seats in this house. Or, I could relax in the shady, grassy backyard. Or I could take up Jim’s advice and enjoy the front-porch life. There’s no wrong answer! CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed! Named by National Association of Real Estate Editors as the BEST Real Estate Blog in the country.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES
Remembering The Palm and 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous' By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net Known for its high-end meats and low-brow caricatures, the downtown Dallas edition of The Palm is shutting down Friday after 33 years of serving the conspicuously consumptive. Your friendly correspondent couldn’t afford to dine there very often, except during the course of business. And one lunch/interview session still stands out. The Palm had been open for just over a year when Robin Leach blew into Dallas in July 1985 on behalf of his “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” show. He was perfectly comfortable, of course, within the confines of a restaurant that catered largely to the upper crust. And while I remember nothing of what we ate, I do remember Leach as a deliciously unpretentious interview subject. The Gummi Bear-shaped Brit was in town to do a piece on T. Boone Pickens after a trip to Texas during the show’s first season to tout Midland as the
home of “more millionaires per square mile than anywhere in the world.” Texas has a “tremendous amount of the nouveau riche wealth in America,” Leach said with certainty. “I say it with love and affection that Texans know how to earn money and they spend it just as hard as they work to earn it. So it’s a perfect stomping ground for me, because they do like their diamonds and their big houses and their chauffeur-driven limos.” “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” endured in syndication from 1984 to 1995, becoming a popular destination on KXAS-TV (Channel 5) for late night viewing pleasures. Back in 1985, it was drawing 25 percent of the audience at 11:30 p.m. on Sundays. Leach’s tagline, “champagne wishes and caviar dreams,” became part of the national lexicon. “The show is fluff,” he readily agreed. “I take no umbrage when critics say we’re 60 minutes of bubble gum. Absolutely! But it’s the best bubble gum on television . . . A
lot of people have said that my last name fits the job that I have to do. But all I ask is that you remember the title of the show. It’s ‘Lifestyles.’ If it was ‘crucify’ or ‘attack’ the rich and famous, I’m quite capable of doing that.” His persuasive powers were considerable. North Texas native Morgan Fairchild was at the height of her fame when she trusted Leach enough to get into a bathtub for him while the “Lifestyles’ camera rolled within her well-appointed home. “Nobody has ever come on television before, I don’t think, showing celebrities getting out of bed or getting out of bathtubs or taking showers,” Leach said. “But people want to see whether the bathtub is 20-carat gold. They want to see whether the sheets are silk. They want to see whether they sleep nude or in pajamas. You see that on our show. We’ve done it.” Leach proclaimed himself a “great believer” in being sensational but not scandalous. So what’s the dif? He explained. Years ago, while
interviewing actress Susan Anspach, Leach said he learned from her that she had two “illegitimate” children, one by Jack Nicholson. He happily “broke” the story. But “instead of saying Jack Nicholson is a creep for having this baby, it was written about why single motherhood can be important and can be beautiful,” Leach said. “It was a sensational story, but it wasn’t scandalous.” He eventually hit it big with “silk pajama journalism,” as Leach calls it. Not that everyone played along. He knew that celebrities such as Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino would never open their homes to him. And you know what? So what. “They’re boring,” he said. “First of all, those people don’t talk, which is very important. Those people mumble. Those kinds of people can’t express themselves. They can’t put sentences together. They can’t deliver good conversation unless they’re memorizing the lines written in somebody else’s script.” He wasn’t finished.
Robin Leach. “The people who share themselves with the people last a lot longer than the people who don’t,” Leach contended, citing Joan Collins as an example. I don’t think the same charismatic excitement exists today about Robert Redford, whom you rarely hear about.” He had a run-in or two, though, most notably after his “world exclusive” interview with Margaret Trudeau back during Leach’s print journalism days. His story included “fairly lengthy anecdotes about the
night she slept with 21 men,” he recounted. Four months after the interview was published in People, The Star and other magazines, Leach and Trudeau met again at New York’s Studio 54 disco. “She came over to me, she slapped my face and she drove a six-inch stiletto heel through my shoe,” he recalled. “I would say that is a fair description of being angry.” They eventually made up, he said. Well, that was more delicious than anything we might have had for dessert at The Palm. But as we pushed ourselves away from our table, something else Leach said resonates even more today as something of a touchstone of Donald Trump’s presidency. “There is absolutely nothing wrong in being rich or being successful,” Leach said. “If it wasn’t for the rich people in America, half of your hospitals wouldn’t exist. Rich people should never be condemned for their wealth. “I come from a country where socialism was proven not to work. I come from a land of handouts to people who won’t work. And what happens is that the poor soak the rich, so that the rich are no longer rich. And then the poor don’t have anybody to get money off.” No, I don’t remember who picked up the check.

HISTORY ON THE TRAIL
Several weeks ago, I began my search for some interesting venture for celebrating a big birthday for my bride of 54 years. Twenty years ago, we celebrated her birthday at the race track in Grand Prairie with about twenty close friends. The seventh race was named for Barbara, and we got pictures made with the winning horse and jockey. Now, how can I top that? With some planning and a lot of help from close Fort Worth friends, Leanne and Jack Huff, we spent this past Thursday and Friday in one of our favorite places, downtown Fort Worth. First, we checked into the historic Ashton Hotel, in the very center of downtown Fort Worth. Jack surprised us with an upgrade to the Presidential Suite and car and driver to the Cultural Arts District, our main destination. Lunch Thursday was at the Modern Museum, where we took in some of the displays. Then, we walked the block west to our main event, The Phillips Collection at the Kimbell Art Museum. Years ago, Barbara had seen the collection in Washington, D.C. on a Dallas museum trip. We topped off her birthday with a fine dinner at the world class St. Emilion Restaurant. Friday morning, while my birthday
girl enjoyed the Presidential Suite, I walked two blocks north to Sundance Square, Fort Worth’s safe and clean downtown gathering place for concerts and fun. As I sat on a bench, watching an artist do his thing, my mind went back to my earliest involvement with the transformation of “Cowtown” to a major city and cultural center. In the 1970s and ‘80s, my company was recruited by Sid Bass to market his two office towers which we later named City Center. This project is where Jack Huff graduated to superstar status, heading the leasing of the two towers early in his career. Sid hired and built a private police force to augment the city law enforcement. Fort Worth was not going to allow crime to ruin its central business district as in so many major growing cities. The results are obvious and property values have remained high. Fort Worth also has its version of our Uptown, with the 7th Street connection to the Cultural Arts District. Current developments include the Left Bank development and several Trinity River projects. I have had the opportunity and privilege of meeting and visiting with Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price over the past years, mainly at the Alliance Air Show. She showed her support for our North Texas Commercial Association of Realtors Hall of Fame, where we recently

We topped off our Fort Worth visit with lunch as guests of the Huffs at their Rivercrest Country Club before returning to Dallas. You can tell that Fort Worth is a special place to us with many special friends made through the years. I look forward to my next big real estate deal, thirty miles west.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK by Stella Wilder
The coming week will encourage a new kind of daring that can lead to self-expression of a sort that results in accelerated personal growth and the achievement of something quite memorable and lasting. Those who are bound by strict rules, however, are not going to find much to shout about unless they are willing to be influenced in such a way that those rules are swept aside by the swift currents of change. Those who allow themselves to follow their instincts can rejoice when all is said and done, for they will enjoy personal victories of a sort only dreamed of by the rest. A large number of otherwise unremarkable individuals will find that they have changed dramatically by week's end — for the better, surely, and quite possibly for life. Free and unrestrained behavior will be rewarded all week long, though it is sure to involve some element of risk. The inherent dangers will be almost unanimously accepted as “worth it,” however, since the potential rewards are so great — and completely unavailable to those who limit themselves and opt for the safe approach. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may have to work your way through a complicated emotional maze, but you'll have much to celebrate at the end of the journey.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – If you've been saving money, you will have something to spend it on. If you haven't been saving, you will discover a new reason to start! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may wonder why the simplest things seem to be getting overcomplicated. How are you contributing to this situation?

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You can work wonders by taking a calm and rational approach to that which has others running about out of control. You see things differently.

Take advantage of newer sites in Mexico City
By Michael Wald
wald.world@yahoo.com Several years ago, near the city’s main plaza, the ZÓcalo, and its cathedral, a buried Mayan city was discovered as a new subway line was being excavated. Today, the site continues to be excavated, and a fantastic museum displays some of the discovered artifacts. The Templo Mayor Museum brings the Mexicas (the word used to describe the indigenous cultures) to life. You used to be able to see some of these things at the amazing anthropology museum in Mexico City’s Chapultepec Park. You could also see some of the things displayed at the pyramids outside Mexico City at Teotihuacan. This museum offers an alternative right in the center of the city! The Templo Mayor Museum has a ground floor exhibit. From there you can walk up to the “second floor.” Once on the second floor, you can only exit by walking through all the exhibits on several levels. The museum is vast. Allow at least one-half day to see it thoroughly. The capital of the pre-Hispanic civilization was centered where the main plaza of Mexico City is today. On this site, the ancient capital, Tenochtitlan, is being unearthed and displayed. Featured in the exhibits is an explanation of how archeologists use modern scientific techniques to determine the original colors of the artifacts displayed. One of the main attractions is a humongous stone relief of Tlaltecuhtli, the Earth goddess of the Mexicas, weighing 12 tons. It was originally at the foot of the main temple in the pre-Hispanic city. Its colors have been painstakingly restored to their original luster over three years of arduous work. When the Spanish conquered Mexico between 1519 and 1521, they discovered and destroyed this beautiful monumental sculpture. Today it has been restored to its original magnificence along with other similarly astounding objects, from funerary displays to offerings originally deposited at the ancient Main Temple as gifts to gods for good crops, war victories, and fire, among other aspects of Mexicas life. The third visitor site is the little-known, hard-tofind Museo Carranza, located in the home of one of

Access to more history is now available in Mexico City. the early presidents of Mexico, Venustiano Carranza, a block off the main street, Paseo de la Reforma, and down the street from the British Embassy. I was the sole visitor at the museum so it was like having a private showing. The exhibits piece together early Mexican history, especially the early constitutions of Mexico, in numerous displays through the two-story house and the adjacent horse stables now converted to additional museum space on the second floor. One drawback: the signage is all in Spanish. But if you speak Spanish, the guides are excellent in answering questions. You can see how an upper class Mexican family lived in the early 20th century, including an exhibit of one of the earliest plumbed bathtubs. President Carranza was exiled from Mexico after his term on charges of corruption. His daughter, living in the U.S., eventually donated the family home as a museum in 1961, but the family never returned from exile. During his term, President Carranza introduced a constitutional form of government to Mexico when there was still fighting among various factions throughout the country led by labor organizers seeking better living conditions. Two of the factions were led by Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, respectively. I suggest you do a little Google research before you go to get oriented. Then see all the artifacts of history well-displayed at this wonderful but underutilized museum, focusing on perhaps the most consequential period of Mexican history.
