figure who referred to certain members of the Senate as 'a little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own.' For the big pay-off, name the originator of this historic phrase." I didn't know and I was thinking hard. Truman. Roosevelt. Who? I didn't know. I couldn't hear Powell say anything and, although my eyes were open, I'm sure I lost consciousness. The next thing I knew someone was yelling, "You won!" I ran across the stage, hurling myself into Powell's arms. And the audience was shouting and many of them were crying, they were so happy. "You're delirious," I told him, "but so am I." It was like midnight on New Year's Eve. Even the people who assisted on the show were cheering, as thrilled as we were. They took pictures and congratulated us over and over. And then the show was over and we were out on the street all by ourselves. Even Broadway seemed quiet. It was hard regaining our balance. "I don't believe it," Powell said. "Me neither." "We've got to tell someone," he said. That's when we called my sister, long distance — but, even so, she thought we were talking nonsense. It took a second call to convince her. And we walked some more and I remembered to ask Powell the answer to the fourth question. Woodrow Wilson. What a man. And then we tried to tell some other people and they thought we were crazy. We were. Crazy with joy. Because of a two-week session with flu and an operation my mother underwent, our trip to Paris was delayed until the first week of May. My boss at the Bell Vocational Service and Powell's at the Marvin Helf Realty Company generously gave us time off, even though it was a busy period in their businesses. 1 he day before we were to board the Pan-American Clipper, we arrived in New York and I received a complete headto-toe treatment from Gerald, the famous beauty stylist. Meanwhile, Powell was in the producer's office getting details of the trip. We would be met at the Paris airport by a gentleman from the American Express who would give us our Paris itinerary, and we would stay at one of the best hotels in the world, Hotel Georges V. The next afternoon we made a tensecond appearance on the Big Pay-Off. "Here is a pair of live winners," Randy said. "In forty-five minutes, they leave for Paris." And we were rushed out of the studio, with everyone waving goodbye. We felt that we were practically in France when we stepped in the plane. All the crew spoke French. There was French music on the speaker system and someone handed me an orchid and a bottle of perfume. Before we knew it, we were off the ground and being served champagne. Dinner on the plane was scrumptious, served by Maxim's, the famous restaurant in Paris. We slept and, the next we knew, we were stopping to refuel at picturesque Santa Maria in the Azores. We landed in Paris at 2: 55 in the afternoon and stepped out of the plane feeling like billionaire celebrities. A photographer was snapping our pictures, a limousine pulled up, and we were escorted to our hotel. And my first sight of Paris was everything I imagined: The magnificent boulevards, the women and their poodles, the Champs-Elysees. And the noise, such noise: Hundreds of little automobiles and bicycles scooting about and everyone screaming at the top of their lungs.
