Bundled up in a double-breasted blue suit over a long-sleeved blue pullover despite humid Texas temperatures in the 90s, owlish Poet Thomas Stearns Eliot, 69, read his own verse to some 11,000 in Austin and Dallas, had some clipped words for the Waste Landish poets of the ''Beat Generation": "I have always felt about any form of existentialism the way James Thurber felt about the Civil War-I beg your pardon, the War Between the States-I expect to see it blow over. I don't see why a whole generation should...
...hands noodle out a few bars from Gershwin's Concerto in F; then the man in the crumpled suit says: "This is Oscar Levant speaking. It's an identification that I have to make because I suffer from amnesia." Twice a week, in a pint-sized studio at Hollywood's KCOP-TV, Levant snaps at his guests, snarls at the camera, squints at the "20 outpatients" of his audience, sneers at his sponsors, scowls at the world, sits at his piano, twitching, squirming, blinking, playing.

...airwave veteran who makes no claims to being an earth-shaking actor. He is a competent performer, a family man with two teenagers to send through college, a Long Island Sunday-school teacher and a prisoner of fate, zealously determined "to get out of that damned Video suit." As a last hope, he has resorted to disguise. He has landed a role in a forthcoming TV pilot film in which he will clap on a talcumed wig and, with his identity concealed, impersonate George Washington. Says reluctant Spaceman Hodge: "What is good enough for the Father of Our Country...
