LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jerry Lewis’ annual Labor
Day telethon raised a record $49.1 million in
pledges and contributions for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association’s battle
against neuromuscular diseases.
“It’s the greatest feeling in the
world to see this magnificent out
pouring of love from the American
public,” Lewis said after the 21-hour
broadcast from CBS studios.
This year’s telethon, Lewis’ 31st,
surpassed last year’s record of
$47.8 million.
Included in the live broadcast was
a tribute to Lewis’ former comedy
partner, Dean Martin, who died last
Christmas Day.
After a montage of film clips from
Martin and Lewis movies and television appear
ances, Lewis wiped a tear from his eye and said:

The producer of Liddy’s radio

Davis thinks his own souped-

capable of 190 mph, has to be
faster than Liddy’s ’Vette.
Under Davis’ plan, the races
would be best two out of three.
ATHENS, Greece (AP) —
Michael Dukakis hasn’t been to
Athens in 20 years, but he feels at
home in the Greek capital.
Mayor Dimitris Avranmopoulos
on Monday awarded Dukakis
Athens’ gold medal, the city’s high
est honor.
"I am proud that 1 am an
Athenian and I must tell you that
Boston is the Athens of the
United States,” said Dukakis, for
mer Massachusetts governor and
the 1988 Democratic presiden
tial candidate.
Dukakis was in Athens with his
family as guests of the Hellenic
American Union, an organization
aimed at forging ties between
Greece and the United States.
Dukakis’ parents were born in
Greece, but he had not visited the
country for decades.
“It is a great pleasure for me to
be here a second time,” Dukakis
said. “I assure you, Mr. Mayor, that
