We had fights and there have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I never beat her." Tina stated that "It was my relationship with Ike that made me most unhappy. At first, I had really been in love with him. Look what he'd done for me. But he was totally unpredictable." They divorced in 1976, and Tina went on to enjoy a highly successful solo career.

The film was made in <a href="/wiki/Pre-Code_Hollywood" title="Pre-Code Hollywood">pre-Code Hollywood</a> and, despite its seemingly tame plot, had some scenes that were censored in a re-release a few years later, after the <a href="/wiki/Hays_Code" title="Hays Code">Production Code</a> took effect. Cut scenes include a view of a disheveled bed and a <a href="/wiki/Negligee" title="Negligee">negligee</a> on the floor, and a sexual relationship between the daughter and a reporter, but the son's seduction by a trapeze artist was kept. The film was nominated for an <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture" title="Academy Award for Best Picture">Academy Award for Best Picture</a> and was the first of three film versions of the novel released to theaters, the others being <a href="/wiki/State_Fair_(1945_film)" title="State Fair (1945 film)">movie musicals released in 1945</a> and <a href="/wiki/State_Fair_(1962_film)" title="State Fair (1962 film)">in 1962</a>.

It has a black crown and back, pale grey cheek patches and white underparts and its broad, boldly marked red and black beak and orange legs contrast with its otherwise sombre plumage. The Atlantic puffin spends the autumn and winter at sea, mainly in the North Atlantic, and returns to land at the start of the breeding season in late spring. Its breeding range includes the coasts of north west Europe, the Arctic fringes and eastern North America. It nests in clifftop <a href="/wiki/Bird_colony" title="Bird colony">colonies</a>, each pair of birds choosing or digging a burrow in which a single white egg is laid. Incubation takes about six weeks and the chicks are fully <a href="/wiki/Fledge" title="Fledge">fledged</a> a similar time later. They then make their way at night to the sea, not returning to land for several years. Colonies are mostly on islands where there are no terrestrial predators, but both adult birds and newly fledged young are at risk of attacks from the air by <a href="/wiki/Gull" title="Gull">gulls</a> and <a href="/wiki/Skua" title="Skua">skuas</a>. The Atlantic puffin's striking appearance, large colourful bill, waddling gait and appealing behaviour have given rise to nicknames such as "clown of the sea" and "sea parrot". This Atlantic puffin was photographed on the northern coast of <a href="/wiki/Skomer" title="Skomer">Skomer Island</a> in Pembrokeshire, Wales. </p> <p style="text-align:left;"><small>Photograph credit: <a href="/wiki/User:Charlesjsharp" title="User:Charlesjsharp">Charles J.

In English, the smaller species tend to be called <i>doves</i> and the larger ones <i>pigeons</i>, but this distinction is not always consistent and scientifically there is no separation between them. Pigeons and doves are distributed everywhere on Earth, except for the driest areas of the Sahara, Antarctica and its surrounding islands, and the high Arctic. The family has adapted to most of the habitats available on the planet. There is a considerable variation in size between species, ranging in length from 15 to 75&#160;cm (6 to 30&#160;in), and in weight from 30&#160;g (1&#160;oz) to above 2&#160;kg (4&#160;lb). Overall, the anatomy of Columbidae is characterized by short legs, short bills with a fleshy beak, and small heads on large, compact bodies. The wings are large, and have eleven primary feathers; they have strong wing muscles and are among the strongest fliers of all birds. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants.
