...four??all-too-brief seasons (30 episodes in all), Bob Odenkirk, below left, and David Cross were the Wright brothers of experimental TV comedy, and Mr. Show was their Kitty Hawk. The loosely themed episodes run the end of one skit into the beginning of the next, sparking provocative ideas off one another like a chain-smoker's cigarettes. Taking full advantage of its HBO-ensured freedom, the episodes are hilarious and offensive on numerous levels.

...will not be easy to win any or all of the upcoming tournaments. Golfdom's perennial Big Four???Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Billy Casper?are still potent, and the sport has a host of other aggressive young stars (see box) who in any given week can run off with the big money. Clearly, though, no other golfer is about to match Trevino's record in 1971. At 31, he is in his prime?and is working through the hottest streak of his career. In addition to finishing among the top five money winners in nine...
