Died. W. Lee ("Pappy") O'Daniel, 79, Texas Governor (1939-41) and U.S. Senator (1941-49) whose raucous hill billy campaigns amused a generation of Texans; in Dallas. A flour salesman and radio singer, O'Daniel entered politics in 1938 by running for Governor on a platform that included the Ten Commandments and mother love; he stumped the state singing his theme song, Pass the Biscuits, Pappy - and won by a landslide.

Randy Parry (Belle Bottom) develops the indifferent drunken daughter's part well, but is overshadowed by the sensational obscene clowning of Ed Strong and Randy Guffey...
Portnoy's Complaint is cast in the form of a series of psychoanalytic sessions between the 33-year-old Alexander Portnoy and his psychiatrist. It is more a series of comic monologues than anything else; I think the best analogy is that of a raucous cantata. The book opens with a parody of a psychiatric dictionary: Portnoy's Complaint--after its pronunciation and origin is established--is defined as "a disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistisc impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often a perverse nature."
