That's what we're feeling this week. Our tenure as the 11th executive guard of the What, as we have taken to calling it, ends. Look to your left. Not at the TV listings, bozo, look at the column of credits. We are, individually and collectively, history...
Dominique Bozo, the museum's director, was able to choose from the Picassos the artist had hoarded for himself. In addition, he was given paintings from Picasso's private collection, by such artists as Matisse, Renoir and Miro. As a result of Bozo's freedom to make his own selections, the museum admirably represents almost all major phases of a protean career. Yet there are a few gaps.

Both reside in the comic file of our memory, and Murray's blank face and Bozo's five-hour make-up job make us think we will get a few laughs. We get a few.

...novel is perhaps the movie's greatest fault Irving's prose has a subtle ability to suspend reality and carry the reader smoothly along from one fabuluously bizarre episode to another: But seen on a 15 foot screen these same fabulous events have all the subtlety and appeal of Bozo the clown. For example, the movie's motto "Keep passing the open windows" (i.e. don't jump out) somehow sounds much less embarrassing and trite when you read it in the privacy of your own home than when you hear it blasted through Dolby stereo sound speakers every 10 minutes...
