Warren, 65, Douglas, 57, and Black, 70, are the Supreme Court's liberal leaders.

Plotwise, the fictional Piel boys, whose lines are spoken by radio's Bob (Elliott) and Ray (Goulding), are a study in opposites. Pint-sized Bert is a gabby, obnoxious supersalesman who shouts his commercials, scolds the audience and continually squelches Stringbean Harry. After a few seconds of bumptious Bert, viewers feel so sorry for well-meaning...
