November 8th is the birthday

… of Patti Page. A good gift for Patti as she turns 79 might be A Doggy in The Window. Depends on how much, I suppose.

… of Morley Safer. He’s 75.

… of Bonnie Raitt. She turns 57 in the Nick of Time.

It’s also the birthday of Margaret Mitchell, born on this date in 1900. As you all must know (but just in case), Mitchell’s original name for Scarlett O’Hara was Pansy O’Hara. Just wouldn’t have been the same.
