...maybe Mr. Peepers. Cosby is supposed to play a high school coach, although in last week's premiere he got nowhere near a school, a gym or a teenager. Instead, he jogged what might have been a good five-minute Cosby monologue into a 30-minute yawn about mistaken identity and false arrest...

...Kirk's office, though he declined the insurgents' invitation to smoke a presidential cigar (a "sign that I was not taking their side"). A month later, Spender was roaming Paris, listening to another Polonius of the Old Left, Jean-Paul Sartre, at a Sorbonne rally and being mistaken by French student-rebels for the professor-prophet of revolution, Herbert Marcuse. To the young, alas, all white heads look alike...
