...Elliott Gould-"Star for an Uptight Age" [Sept. 7]? No, not really. Elliott Gould is far more a "Star in an Uptight Age" who helps us to feel less uptight for hours by bringing back the true essence of entertainment and thereby according us pleasure in a world so often so serious...

Simpson, Billy Graham, Mae West and Lawrence Welk...
