Lear's salesman father, though a second-generation Russian Jew, was almost as much of a source for Archie as Alf Garnett was.

But he also delighted in lashing out at his own country, which he called "the laziest nation in the world; I foresee a generation which will never get out of bed. I advise as many English musicians as possible to leave the country." Married three times-the last time to his 27-year-old secretary, who made him "coo like the proverbial dove"-Sir Thomas always...
