1. Bernadette Devlin is an Irish civil rights leader and former member of Parliament. Reginald Maudling was also an MP and was a frequent target on Monty Python's Flying Circus 2. This was the opening of "THE UNCLE STRUDEL SHOW" a kid show on WLW-TV Cincinnati when Jean worked there. 3. For years there has been a rumor that Kubrick wanted Jean Shepherd as the voice of HAL 4. On January 12, 1972, the body of Grace Todd, 32 was discovered in a freezer belonging to her husband David, 37 who had recently moved into a house in Toronto belonging to the family of a 21-year-old acquaintance named Charles Cassidy. Mr. Cassidy and his sister Catherine Their mother and friends Layne Jackson and John Moore were watching an old episode of One Step Beyond on the TV. The plot involved a body in a trunk and, while Mr. Todd was asleep in an upstairs bedroom Mr. Cassidy decided to pry open the freezer. They discovered the body of Mr. Todd's wife Grace, who had disappeared on July 30, 1971, but had actually been shot and killed by Mr. Todd at the end of a violent argument. Mr. Todd readily confessed, pled guilty to manslaughter, and was sentenced to 10 years in the Kingston penitentiary. 5. The album is by the band Nature Group 6. Shep asked for the equasion because he needed it for the first page of his next Playboy story Lost At C that would be published in the May 1973 edition. The winner was announced on the May 30, 1972 show
