...Papa Zelenko strums the balalaika: Mama Zelenko pounds out Bach on the piano. After Margie scores a hit in a Hunter College production of The Mikado, Marsha gets her a job as dramatic coach at a children's camp in the Adirondacks. Across the lake is an adult-resort camp named South Wind, and South Wind, Mama Morgenstern snorts, is nothing less than Sodom...
Herman found an out. A friend had landed a writing post at a resort camp, Copake, and Herman tagged along as his unpaid assistant. Copake was a less imposing facsimile of South Wind, the camp in Marjorie Morningstar, and Herman's was roughly the Wally Wronken post...
They stood and watched the police parachute-drop demonstration, U.S. Ambassador John E. Peurifoy and his two sons, Clinton, 14, and Daniel, 9. Then handsome Jack Peurifoy and the boys got into his robin's-egg-blue Ford Thunderbird and headed back to the Thai beach resort of Hua Hin, 85 miles southwest of Bangkok, for lunch.

Reason: he again failed to draw a full house. After first firing Cox because his act, a medley of warmed-over Peeperisms, left the patrons cold, the Dunes Hotel rehired him three days later on his promise that he would whip up a scintillating potpourri of brand-new Peeperisms. But on his second chance, Funnyman Cox chiefly tried for laughs in a masochistic...
