...stripped of its jukebox and banners; only the lingering perfume of Major Margaret ("Hot Lips") Houlihan (Loretta Swit) will drive the ghost of Major Frank Burns (Larry Linville) into rages of ecstasy. And in the most famous barracks since Stalag 17-Hawkeye Pierce's Swamp-the cots, footlockers, stove, framed pictures and even the distillery are gone. The giggles and groans of Trapper John (Wayne Rogers) and B.J. Hunnicut (Mike Farrell) and Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) are now distant, poignant echoes...
...introduction to this sagebrush valedictory, Novelist Thomas McGuane catalogues the hallmarks of the fading West: "The dead windmills lost behind the high wire of a missile range, the stove-up old cowboy at the unemployment of fice, the interstate that plunges through the homesteads . . ."

...week, Joseph Cruz, 55, was living on New York City's posh Upper East Side. But while he paid no rent, perhaps he should have been charged some tolls. For Cruz had set up residence, complete with a salvaged bed, storage-crate furniture, a beer cooler and a stove made from an oil drum, smack in the middle of a 35-ft.-long traffic island on Manhattan's East River Drive. His presence immediately stopped a bit of traffic; passing motorists were enchanted by the sight of the eccentric tenant, protected from the elements only by the elevated...
