And

“(on Judy Garland) The most talented woman I ever knew was Judy Garland. She was a great, great comedienne and she could do more things than any girl I ever
knew. Act, sing, dance, make you laugh. She was everything. I had a great affection for her. Such a tragedy. Too much work, too much pressure, the wrong kind of
people as husbands.”
And

And
“Fore!
Straight down the middle
It went straight down the middle
Then it started to hook just a wee, wee bit
That’s when my caddie lost sight of it
That little white pellet has never been found to this day
But it went straight down the middle like they say
Whack down the fairway
It went smack down the fairway
Then it started to slice just a smidge off line
It headed for two then it bounced off nine
My caddie says long as you’re still in the state you’re okay
Yes it went straight down the middle quite a ways
The sun was never brighter
The greens were never greener
And I was never keener to play
I heard it came down the middle
It went zing down the middle
Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom
There’s always the lies in the locker room
And I’m in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
That it went straight down the middle today
Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom
Though they should charge just for listening in the locker room
But I’m in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
That it went straight down the middle
Where it wound up is a riddle
But it went straight down the middle far away”
Straight Down the Middle, Bing Crosby
