...teaching philosophies and schemas, explaining that "the fantastic things you come up with, like Space Odyssey 1999, you can be sure will be voted down and sit on the top shelf in the archives." Rivers says she prefers to "move from where you are" and to work in sync with what will be accepted...
Teaching that raw talent to cohere into N.C.A.A. champions is John Wooden's contribution. Since coming to U.C.L.A. 25 years ago, Wooden has won 584 games and lost but 141.

...farce about the French Revolution that he produced and directed. With Lear it is Cold Turkey, a 1971 satire in which he directed his own script about an Iowa town that collectively kicks the smoking habit. Erratic but lively and intriguing, both works were just slightly out of sync with the shifting rhythms of public taste that Yorkin and Lear's TV shows have always caught so uncannily...
