Maybe I should develop some of these points more fully. Like the Firebird. Not only is it a cool car, but just check out the things he does with it. He's probably the best driver on television, and definitely the coolest. Every time I try to throw my Gremlin into a spin instead of doing a three-point turn it stalls.

QB VII was the first major novel. It ran seven or eight hours. It's interesting to watch how we have moved into areas of social significance. There is a television movie coming up called The Cracker Factory...
...think that came about because of the success of All in the Family. We put that show on with great reservations. We thought we'd be in deep trouble, not only because of objections to that kind of show but because [we feared] it just wouldn't develop a large audience. We were wrong on both counts, thank...
