...paper, this formula-ridden show has everything against it. A poor Jew named Bernie Steinberg (David Birney) marries a rich Irish Catholic named Bridget Fitzgerald (Meredith Baxter), while the four meddlesome in-laws, instead of cutting into the wedding cake, cut into each other. Surprisingly, the formula works, and Bridget Loves Bernie, whose ethnic humor descends from Abie's Irish Rose (the long-running comedy of the '20s) down through All in the Family, is one of the brighter comedy spots of the new season...

During a confrontation in the drawing room of Pinny's Boston home, a clock ticks loudly, a desperate device intended to lend a little spine to the sponge cake theatrics.

At the Garden itself, packed with 20,000 screaming fans, the Stones presented their Pied Piper with a huge birthday cake, then cannonaded him with custard pies that splattered over the front-row customers. Then on to the birthday party at the normally staid St. Regis Roof, where Count Basie alternated with Muddy Waters to provide music, and Andy Warhol fluttered around aiming a Polaroid camera at a mob that included Dick Cavett...
Depressed. On his birthday McGovern had a party at Sylvan Lake Lodge, dining on barbecued buffalo with staff members and old friends from his boyhood home of Mitchell, S. Dak. Mitchell High School's summer baking class prepared an enormous birthday cake in the shape of the White House. Bob Verschoor, McGovern's finance chairman for each of his congressional campaigns, presented the candidate with 50 $50 bills-his harvest from a $50 bet he placed with Las Vegas Odds-maker Jimmy the Greek when the odds against McGovern's getting the Democratic nomination were reckoned...
