Show Magazine: February 1963

[Editor's Note: In the 1963 Valentine's Day issue of Show Magazine, some musical celebrities appeared in a layout entitled "Singing Valentines". Each picture was accompanied by a Valentine's verse. Barbra Streisand's verse went like this:]

Roses are red, Cardiograms are blue, I'm Barbra Streisand,
.... So nu? *

* Nu: an indefinable word described by eminent Central European scholars as a mixture of assertion, Weltschmerz and wonder. Miss Streisand, new star of Broadway and supper clubs, here uses it to mean Happy Valentine's Day.

Verses by Kotlowitz and Rosenthal
