Even more Larry King-like columns

With the demise of major syndicated newspaper material, Larry King's newspaper column is gone. I continue to attempt to convince struggling newspapers that a King-like column, filled only with his brief and timely thoughts, could still be popular. Again this year, I offer intermittent blog King-like column items that inform, entertain and honor Mr. King's journalistic jingo.

I don't understand an appetite for cocaine.

Things change, sometime for the better. In the golden days of baseball, I raced Jackie Robinson around the bases at the Polo Grounds. After that, people began to rocks at me, too.

Long books with small type are the perfect cure for insomnia.

By the time you read this, China will have landed at least a dozen men on Mars.

As I become older I realize that in order to stay sane, I have to have a routine, as well as a wife and four ex-wives.

I knew a lot of newspaper reporters that wrote about substance abuse by hanging out in rehabilitation centers and then wound up checking into rehabilitation centers.

Is there a reason China is called The Middle Kingdom?

When I was a kid thought it would be great to train police dogs.

All of the great restaurants are gone. What made them great was not the food or the service or even the atmosphere; it was having good and bad celebrities all drunk under the same roof.

The first U.S. Presidential Inauguration I attended was the second one for Dwight Eisenhower. I was in my twenties, so I could not appreciate the honor connected to being there. Forty years later I know the honor of being there but I cannot remember how or why I was invited.

For the life of me I don’t understand how a human voice changes as much as it does when sucking in helium.
