...affably acerbic Klein is also a veteran of Chicago's much esteemed comedy training ground, Second City, where he worked with the likes of Fred Willard and David Steinberg. "David was mean. Inconsiderate. A pest and a twirp." (Klein seems to be reveling in the sheer delight of his venom, more than really meaning what he says...
Littlejohn's marker, a neat little flip just four minutes into the game, proved to be all that Yale needed, as tough defense on both sides turned the contest into a referee's delight--not much penetration in either direction.

Every time they run through Arrival's "Goin' Down to Laurel," the singer breaks into an exuberant, cowboy-booted shuffle. Music, including his own, is Forbert's obvious delight. A Meridian, Mississippi guitar teacher recalled him as "... an average player, but all fired up." In 1976, Forbert left home and a truck driving job to play Greenwich village coffeehouses...
