...title character, Hyman Kaplan (Tom Bosley), is likable even though he is an outrageous showoff. To him and to the other immigrants attending a night-school class in Americanization, the English language is a terrifying octopus at which they slash, tentacle by tentacle, in a melee of dialect comedy and amusing linguistic boners. Kaplan is in a one-man class by himself. If the teacher, an earnest young Ivy League graduate named Mr. Parkhill (Gary Krawford) rebukes him, Kaplan rebukes right back.

Last week he waited until 17 minutes before the filing deadline to notify Massachusetts State Democratic Chairman Lester Hyman that neither he nor any stand-in would oppose Eugene McCarthy in the April 30 presidential primary. Not only is the Massachusetts party organization confused and bitter as a result, but under the terms of a new state law, Senator McCarthy is also guaranteed all Massachusetts' 72 delegate votes on the first ballot at the convention...
...NUCLEAR SHIPS. McNamara adopted a go-slow approach, for which he was upbraided last week by the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy. The Committee urged the allocation of funds for a new submarine reactor proposed by Vice Admiral Hyman Rickover and the building of more nuclear surface ships...
