[Magdalen] What's My Line? On Facebook and YouTube

[Charles Wohlers]

What I do recall, from living in NJ in the early 60's, was that, if you went 
in to NYC and had your purchase shipped home, there was no local NY State 
sales tax. That's what I was referring to. That loophole was eventually 
closed.

I don't remember anything of what was on WOR, even though my mother had it 
on most all day.

>And, especially if the customer was from New Jersey - no sales tax!!!

No sales tax at all early in their run, but NYC imposed one at some point. 
The
State Sales tax came somewhat later.

There were stories that Kilgallen was about to reveal something regarding 
Ruby,
but it would seem doubtful. Even other Kennedy Conspiracy Fans didn’t find
anything.

I started listening to "Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick" while in Columbia
Presbyterian Hospital for my  first eye surgeries in 1858. I continued to 
listen
until I had to go back to school again after I had regained my eyesight a 
year
later. I learned a lot about New York City listening to them.

WOR had another husband/wife chatter show -- Ed and Pegeen Fitzgerald, which
lasted another 15 years. It was also the subject of an exquisite send-up by
Tallulah Bankhead and Fred Allen. They captured the basics of both D&D and 
Ed
and Pegeen in a hilarious way.

Cheers,
Jim
