...whole 1960s (Remember Stern ? A Mother's Kisses ?), hasn't exactly been idle during his long layoff. He wrote The Lonely Guy's Book of Life, which not only advised single fellas how to cope but became a motion picture vehicle for Steve Martin. He did the screenplay for Stir Crazy and pitched in on the scenarios of Doctor Detroit and Splash. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that Bruce hasn't lost a step in the dialogue department. And the way he spins yarns is enough to make even nonreaders feel right at home. In fact...

...savings and loan associations that dot southern Ohio seldom stir up any & excitement in the banking community, much less a panic. Yet for a few tense days last week, a crisis involving Ohio's thrift institutions sent tremors of anxiety through the financial world. Governor Richard Celeste's emergency shutdown of 69 privately insured thrifts, which were threatened by customer runs, was the most widespread closure in the financial industry since President Roosevelt declared a one-week national bank holiday in 1933.
