Last week Ludwig van Beethoven was the center of one of the fastest-growing fan clubs in the nation...
...mannered, intelligent architect. Nine (Joseph Sweeney) is a cranky old pensioner, but smart. Ten (Ed Begley) runs a string of garages and spits like a battery syringe whenever the subject of race comes up. Twelve (Robert Webber) is an adman who can't distinguish the truth from a slogan...
