...Washington last month, he also assured Pastore's Senate Subcommittee on Communications that he would police his air waves with renewed vigilance. Despite the assurance-or perhaps because of it-the Smotherses' April 6 show was studded with gibes at Pastore, both from Tom and his guest, Dan Rowan of Laugh-In.

Two of last month's Tonight Show guest hosts, Bill Cosby and Jerry Lewis, made public apologies for ill-received wisecracks, which had nothing to do with sex or violence. At the N.A.B. convention, the industry's nervous mood was apotheosized by one Catholic priest who, in a luncheon invocation, prayed that God sympathize with "oppressed broadcasters...
Most of them honor memberships from out-of-state clubs, though. They will extend guest privileges if some kind of membership identification is shown. Naturally, it always helps to know a member...
