...people who last year traded in a brand new car for a summa in an elite concentration in the Harvard version of "Let's Make a Deal" are back this weekend with Do It Yourself '77. With the stage designed to look like a bar, the old do it yourself troupe plus a few new additions will probably run through their new sketches like professionals doing a revue. The sketches range from one a la Raymond Chandler, to another that's a Viennese coffee song, to a T.V. situation tragedy written by Mark O'Donnell. Performances are tonight through Saturday...
...Free Cars. Last week, after an initial period of stonewalling, GM yielded. It made an offer for which no auto executive could recall a parallel: it will take back any 1977 Olds, Buick or Pontiac equipped with a Chevy engine and give the buyer credit for the full sales price, minus 8? for each mile driven, on the purchase of a new car of the same make.

One of the program's high points is a put-on of the Hertz Rent-A-Car ad featuring high-stepping Football Star O.J. Simpson. Low-stepping Chevy looks like a disintegrating Tinkertoy, ricocheting through a crowded air terminal on his way to the parking...
