...Cheap Detective--Neil Simon keeps those pots boiling with another patently bogus ploy to unite famous detectives and get them to satirize themselves. Peter Falk is no Bogey, however, and nobody else is who he is supposed to be either. The plot is some clone of the Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep and whatever else.

He is even arguing that his $27 billion national health-care plan is the essence of frugality; otherwise health costs will be even higher.

Shakespeare had perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about five and Samuel Beckett one-and perhaps a clone of that one. I have ten or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them...
...scientists overwhelmingly reject the possibility, saying that the major barrier--inducing an egg fertilized with an implanted body cell nucleus to develop--could not yet be overcome. They say that since a frog was successfully cloned in the early '60s, researchers have been unable to clone a mouse, let alone a man. Jonathan Beckwith '57, professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at the Medical School, voices a common objection to Rorvik's claim: "I'm sort of surprise that the barriers could have been overcome so quickly and without hearing about...
