According to his father, 15-year-old Mark Hanson, son of the Dudley House masters, enjoys playing pick-up basketball at the Malkin Athletic Center. And his brother Nathaniel, 12, says his pool game has definitely improved as a result of his playing at Dudley House's Lehman Hall...
Downstairs, on the funny line, is Cliff's other brother-in-law Lester, a sleek TV producer (played by Alan Alda in a gloriously fashioned comic performance).

Jack and Frank play the bickering brothers to a tee, and they even manage to get into a not-half-bad food fight in their hotel room. (They call a cease-fire when Jack picks up a whole pineapple and warns his brother, "Don't tempt me." Talk about deterrance...
