I think if you open up your dictionary and, flipping it towards the back and looking up the word "sultry", she'll be right there, still smoking a sexy cigarette.

Christine Lavin just gave Joan a great tribute on facebook around 7:45pm, recalling an early episode in her career when she was having a bad night opening for Rivers.

Barry Commoner 2 years ago
September 30th, 2012 - OVER 2 Years ago. We lost Barry Commoner at the age of 95:
Barry Commoner - Wikipedia
I remember when he thought that Solar Power would begin at the outposts of the military.
Odd to find out that he is already dead.
Edited by xongsmith, : September 80th??
