This is just for Jay, but re the catchiness of Huntley-Brinkley, it’s not just catchy, it’s musical:
Washington, 1961. Frank Sinatra and Milton Berle at a JFK inaugural event, to the tune of “Love And Marriage”:
Huntley-Brinkley, Huntley-Brinkley
One is solemn, but the other’s twinkly . . .
Words by Sammy Cahn, who wrote the original. He sang it to me in a restaurant several decades later.
Really, it calls out for one of Derb’s higgledy-piggledys:
Higgledy-piggledy
Hunterly-Brinkerly
Anchoring nightily
Over the news . . .
As I said, just for Jay. We now return to our 24/7 coverage of the fall of the Republic . . .
