That at least is how the dramatic moment at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was envisaged by Broadway Playwright Neil Simon (The Odd Couple, Plaza Suite) and Comedians Tony Randall and Larry Blyden, who performed the skit before 19,000 cheering Eugene McCarthy fans in New York City's Madison Square Garden last week. As the star-fraught spectacular showed, politics this year has attracted an extraordinary input of pulchritude and intellect. In no other election have so many actors, singers, writers, poets, artists, professional athletes and assorted other celebrities signed up, given out and turned on for the candidates...
...COUPLE. An alimony-poor sportswriter (Walter Matthau) and his divorce-bound buddy (Jack Lemmon) are at each other's throats again in this almost literal translation of Neil Simon's Broadway hit.

"Better get out of there, Neil," barked Flight Control. Armstrong needed no prompting. He had already yanked the ejection ring and he parachuted to safety as the $2,100,000 craft dived...
