"Life is just a brief spin around the rim ... before being lost forever down eternity's glug-hole!"
--ROSS COOPER [from THE CAROUSEL]
"There is nothing one wants that is worth working hard for.
What is truly desired never seems like hard work."
--ROSS COOPER
"It's really pathetic how these young fella's navigate the uncertain waters of stocks and bonds,
knowing just how expendable they are. Any market fluctuation can flush them out to sea ...
just like so much plankton for the whales to gulp, tons at a time."
--ROSS COOPER [from THE CAROUSEL]
In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
--ORSON WELLES [ad-libbed in "THE THIRD MAN"]
“One day, you will reach into that top hat and find the rabbit is missing!”

MEDIUM-RARE, a novel by ROSS COOPER / Reg. Copyright - Reg. WGAw
"Medium-Rare" recounts the bizarre story of an evening at the Bijou theater.
It's not about a movie or a musical, but a psychic!
Dr. Peter Von Pepperhoff has journeyed from Austrian academia to late night TV and dazzled all. The bearded wonder confounded TV audiences with an amazing ability to summon and speak for the dead. There's a hysterical anticipation of his new venue, the live display of his mastery of the netherworld. On this night, the dead will be conjured for the placation of their offspring, spirits from the unknown will be beckoned to assuage the mournful . . .
and Dr. Pepper is going to do it . . . really!
They are coming! Oddly, no one will be more surprised than the Doctor!
