Just three weeks before Lenny had been hospitalized in Bridgeport, Conn., suffering from a shortness of breath; no diagnosis of his illness has been made public.

The children and servants perform their bits admirably...

A former NBC publicity director, she now presides over the nonprofit Children's Television Workshop, Inc., which produces 130 segments of Sesame Street and 130 of Electric Company each year. Elegant and outspoken, Mrs. Cooney has served on the President's Commission on Drug Abuse and was recently appointed to the media-monitoring National News Council.
