I forgot how I did it, but I got a pass for two for the Premiere Showing of the 
film Grand Prix, held?on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. I think my name tag said 
William Randolph Hearst Jr. Who was I to argue? Anyway, it was held in the 
Cine-dome, or what ever that Buckmaster Fuller looking theater of the future 
was called back then. 

Being a Grand Prix racing nut ever since I saw the Kirk Dougles movie, 'The 
Racer' in the mid 1950's, to say that I was impressed would be an 
understatment. I only wished I had worn a diaper that night, if you know what I 
mean.

Because we (the Hearld-Examiner) ran a bullfight column every Sunday in season, 
we had a comp. box down in Tijuana. Both the ring downtown and the one by the 
sea. By chance, the box next to ours was leased to some drunken Hollywood bums 
like Kirk Douglas, Fernando Lamas, Gilbert Roland, Ceasar Romero and that gang 
of fun lovers looking for some cheap thrills.

Those?summer Sunday afternoons were like a 3-ring circus. You didn't know where 
to look first! The fight down in the ring, the poor tourists from back East 
that had no concept that they would be watching one of God's creatures being 
slowly tortured to death right before their eyes, screaming and fainting in the 
stands, the drunken Hollywood types groping the 'starlets' that they had 
brought along for some fun & games, or after a good clean kill, the young 
college-type girls that would take off their panties and throw them down to the 
young and hansome Matador in the ring, holding at least the ears. Ever the 
Latin Gentleman, he would sniff them and throw them back.

Ach, those were the days, Ferrari Bubba
