his home town of Rocky Mount,
North Carolina; while still in high
school. All Talbott did his senior
year was to lead his high school
teams to state championships in
football, basketball, and baseball.
He received all-state and all-con-
ference recognition in each sport,
hitting 444 in baseball and top-
ping the basketball team in scor-
ing.
Williams called this feat "an
accomplishment n e v e r b e f o r e
equaled, and it will probably nev-
er be done again," especially since
Rocky Mount High only had 1,000
students.
Just what people think of Tal-
bott in his home state can be seen
by looking through the North
Carolina publicity book. Three
pictures of the blond signal caller
grace the cover (passing, running,
and kicking) along with the bill-
ing, "Talbott, Tar Heels, T-For-
mation." Richard Burton couldn't

Hathaway: Mr. Cosby, what do you look for in a
button-down collar?
Cosby: The right size, mainly.
Hathaway: But isn't the shape of the collar important?
The roll? The spread? Things like that?
Cosby: Doesn't help if the darn thing doesn't fit,
does it?
Hathaway: No, I suppose you're right. But how about
the collar of the Hathaway Club button-down
you're wearing now? How does that feel?
Cosby: It fits, if that's what you mean.
Hathaway: Well, not really. I was hoping you'd say something
about the look of the collar.
Cosby: Oh, I see. Well, you know what they say.
