Suspen says presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A, Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. to your happiness and entertaining guests, to your enjoyment of everyday meals.
Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant, as Roma wines bring you a remarkable tale of suspense. And with the last detail and with the performance of Mr. George Colores as Professor Moffatt, Roma wines hope indeed to keep you in...
Suspense! Something escapes me, one small detail in all the incredible events of these last weeks. And without it the pattern is incomplete. I think I dream about it. Yes, yes, I'm sure I do. But I've lost the ability to reconstruct my dreams.
