This was 1962, and I would not live in a place withan air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and Idecided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. Hesuggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all dayand—most important —sit in air conditioning.

Most people did not do that, but themanager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind if you did. That particular day, my brother and I sat through both moviestwice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcornand three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Manfollowed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seenthe second movie once before. It had been at the theater sinceJanuary, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. We left the theater around 8, just before the evening showsbegan. But we returned the next day and saw the same two moviesagain, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on thefourth day, the heat wave broke. Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man andrecite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from TheMan Who Shot Liberty Valance!
