...zest for the better things in life, many of them Western. French wine is said to have flowed freely, and salads were served punctiliously after the main course, Continental-style. Other comrades may have patriotically downed vodka, but Andropov apparently preferred to sip Johnnie Walker Scotch. Sándor Kopácsi, a former Budapest chief of police who now lives in Toronto, was frequently on the Soviet Ambassador's guest list and recalls how Andropov used to borrow the police force's gypsy band. With a clear tenor voice, Andropov would join in song fests...
...stature but huge in hypochondria, and so full of pills that when he sneezes "people around me get cured." By happenstance, Henry extricates Sally Morgan, a coy maiden winsomely played by Beth Austin, from the maritally-minded clutches of Sheriff Bob (J. Kevin Scannell), a sage brush Keystone Kop.

With a pen dipped in corrosive sublimate, Sorel uncovers the Presidents from Harry Truman as a Keystone Kop to Jimmy Carter in the throes of a scatological tantrum. No one is safe from Sorel: he skewers Arabs and Zionists, harpoons Cardinal Cooke and Billy Graham, lampoons the Jerry Lewis telethon: "Maybe some day science will find a cure for Multiple No-Talent." Sorel's style is best...
