...different way is That's Life (Tuesday, 10-11 p.m.). In this free-spirited musical lark, another hapless hero, Robert Morse, plays opposite a real-life doll with the unlikely name of E.J.

And he has most vividly produced a true mock western: one in which blood flows with the same impact as real tomato soup suddenly gushing out of an Andy Warhol...
...people trooped through the Union, registered, ate vichyssoise, cold turkey, and tomato aspic salads, then trooped out again carrying immense bundles of Class of 1943 Paraphernalia: '43 wastebaskets, '43 combs, '43 razors, '43 lipstick, '43 keychains, '43 showercaps...
