...much as Kepesh may resemble Portnoy and Peter Tarnopol-the protagonist-victim in Roth's My Life as a Man-The Professor of Desire is not simply a rehash of the earlier books. Kepesh's monologue is a more humane and thoughtful handling of the subject that has fascinated and obsessed Roth in print for the past ten years: the woebegone, self-destructive tug of war between high aspirations and low lusts. Kepesh is another of Roth's Jewish centaurs, trying to keep his head in a cloud of pipe smoke while ignoring his pawing hooves...
Strip away all the topical trappings, however, and you'll find a Dixie rehash of Barney Miller, the program that just happens to precede this one on ABC's Thursday lineup. Carter Country is shrewdly produced too. The cast is good, and the one-liners attack all races and creeds alike.

...RESULT of BBC's liberality and Galbraith's acknowledged position as elder philosopher and general social critic, Galbraith has considerable latitude in his choice of subject matter.

If he meets someone he knows after a session he may stop him on the street to rehash it. His office is on Fifth Avenue, but his favorite headquarters is Elaine's Restaurant, Manhattan's top celebrity hangout. He often winds up his 15-hour days-usually early in the morning-at his fourth-floor walk-up bachelor's pad on Manhattan's East Side with a diet cola and a Stouffer's short-ribs...
...course, there are things one does not learn from the show. The part titled "The British Connection" is merely a rehash, laid forth in paintings, of the now outmoded picture of 18th century England as an Age of Elegance, populated by enlightened lords, benevolent squires and happy forelock-tugging peasants. The whole matter of slavery is discreetly omitted from Jefferson's American experience, although neither his wealth nor the leisure he needed for self-cultivation would have been possible without his slaves. (If the National Gallery wanted to be consistent in its policy of using great borrowed paintings...
