Gin and cigarettes not included: Mattel, the maker of Barbie dolls, plans to sell a line of dolls based on characters from AMC's 1960s-era drama “Mad Men.” Dolled up as Don and Betty Draper, Roger Sterling and Joan Holloway, the dolls will be sold for $75 each.
Just keep the Roger Sterling doll away from the rest of your Barbies, or he's liable to grab a date and take Barbie's 1962 Austin Healey to the Hamptons for the weekend.
Got Bluetooth? Once the bill is signed by the governor, traffic cops will be able to pull over drivers they see talking or texting on cell phones. Currently, police can cite drivers for illegal cell phone use only after pulling them over for another offense, such as speeding (Page B1).
Drivers will be allowed to use cell phones in emergencies, but, no, calling 911 on a cell phone to tattle on another driver using a cell phone won't count.
Rolling (dice) in his grave: Tim Holland, a world backgammon champion and author of several books on the classic board game that saw a resurgence in popularity in the 1960s and '70s, died Wednesday at his home in South Florida (Page A2).
As a tribute to his pastime, the underside of his casket will be printed with a checkerboard pattern.
