President Nixon enjoys sudden, unscheduled hug from Sammy Davis, Jr., at "Young Voters for the President" rally, Marine Stadium, Miami, fifty years ago tonight: 
Sammy's public hug obviously has not been cleared in advance with Nixon chief of staff Bob Haldeman.
Sammy had also suddenly kissed Archie Bunker on "All in the Family" in 1972, same year as his spontaneous hug for Nixon:
OK. For those of you who have had enough of politics, perhaps a thread for music. I have been trying to choose my #DesertIslandDiscs and I have found it impossible to narrow it down to 8 all at once. What I've decided to do is go through my own personal musical history.
The tracks I choose will be chronological and based entirely on their effect on me at a particular time of my life or their connection to an event. My first track is from 1974. On Christmas Morning at 5 o'clock I woke up to find a cassette recorder at the bottom of my bed!
With that cassette recorder was my first ever 'album' 'Keep On Wombling'! I don't know how many times I played it in those first few days, but it was in double figures. Difficult to choose a favourite but I have gone for the opening track.
