Because of that one undeniable truth, Seinfeld finds himself in the curious position of facing, at a relatively tender age (43), a sort of retirement. In this regard, you could say Jerry Seinfeld is the Bill Clinton of comedy, the boy wonder as lame duck, if only, that is, Seinfeld were more desperate to be loved. Instead, he is the same affable fellow with the slightly snarky finish that he plays on TV. "I've never had much interest in being liked," he offers. "And I think people like that. It's a relief. So many people want...
...smile. His younger daughter recalls her disco-theme wedding reception last summer, when her dad grabbed her cape and a friend's crown and headed out to the dance floor with a big Grove grin. There, in front of family and friends, was Andras Grof in a silver-lame cape and rhinestone tiara groving to Le Freak as around the world, Intel plants silently cranked away to his rhythm.

Most humorously...
...back to the Poconos in the 1950s, on a summer weekend when several characters encounter a new love or are reunited with an old one. It would be nice to describe this as a flimsy pretext for a batch of Simon gag lines, except that the gags are too lame even for Simon in a nostalgic haze. One character is a boorish Italian stud with a penchant for malapropisms (he calls Roman gladiators "gladiolas"), and the play's comic piece de resistance is, so help me, a bird's funeral. Simon, like Mamet, is content to trot out his characters...
