His songs were not stirring or languid, as those of Johnny Cash were, but that was not his style. Some would say he was on a par with Elvis, starring in movies made just for him and his cohorts.

(One of the luckiest men that ever drew a breath.)

Onnicle: Though not Polish, he enjoyed his wife’s pirogi, zrazi, makowiec, and other traditional foods. It annoyed his wife to no end that he would tag newly-introduced Polish dishes - which he found unpronounceable - with Greek nicknames, since that was his heritage.

Clue: An intelligent and well-educated Marylander who swam the dangerous political ocean with a millstone (well, almost) around his neck.

Onnicle: Ted Edgar, son of Bing, rid himself of Eric, the not-so-limber G-man, by hiding under a car. Had Avis not just rented the sedan it's a sure bet Tom would have gotten away from that ogre Eric.

Oniclue: And the nominees are....(think 1940's...there are three in there)

(Isn't it "Bette" Davis?)

Onnicle: Poor Jimmy Hauler. He put his last dollar on “Aldo’s Pizza” in the fourth race at Aqueduct, but instead of using Off-Track Betting, he placed his bet in one of those sleazy storefronts in Brooklyn, the kind where a gangster in an over-priced suit guards the door.

Clue: This fellow gambled in '68 and ’76 and lost, but he managed a couple of wins later.

Ronald Reagan!

Onnicle: Summer school? June and July’s session will utterly sabotage my social life! But who am I to flagrantly disregard the dictates of my father? I acquiesce.

Boy, I saw CB's onnicle at work today, and I was hoping somebody would solve it before I got home. I'm stumped. I thought maybe Alice Cooper, but I can't find it there.
