His articles appear in magazines ranging from the Ladies' Home Journal to TV Guide, and his features flicker on the tube from Today to Tonight, expressing, all in one, the horn-rimmed wisdom of the scholar, the sophistication of balding middle age-and the omniscient satisfaction of the eternal Quiz Kid.
