...having his dream fulfilled at taxpayer expense, a privilege denied the rest of us. The pursuit of happiness does not carry with it the requirement of government funding. Don't insult our intelligence by pretending Glenn's voyage into space is good science instead of a mere joyride. GARY ABBOTT Atlanta...
...about Seinfeld is its originality, insist its partisans. Here too there may be less than meets the eye. No one would expect any show to arrive without a heritage, and those involved with Seinfeld have always acknowledged its debt to earlier series.

So simple a janitor (Bud) and a half-wit (Lou) could stumble onto a big silver sausage of a rocketship, flip a few switches, and go all the way to . . . Mardi Gras. Then Venus, with all the usual misadventures and comic contortions along the way. The code term for this is "classic comedy." It's a warning, because it's dated. Soft spots, stiff acting by supporting players, and yet A & C fans (you know who you are) are watching...
