...Kleppe, head of the Small Business Administration, does not fit the cautious mold of the Washington bureaucrat. A self-made North Dakota business success (Glass Wax), he keeps a pair of six guns mounted on an office wall, wears electric blue shirts with dazzling horseshoe cufflinks, speaks bluntly −and is now taking some perhaps inevitable lumps. Kleppe's most recent troubles began when he went to Congress to ask for an expansion of SB A lending authority from $4.3 billion to $6.6 billion.

She lacks the remotest trace of that sweetly enveloping maternal musk with which Gertrude Berg so winningly invested her creation, Molly Goldberg, in the vastly popular radio and TV serials spanning the years 1929-1954. Alan Arkin has directed the show the way a bartender jiggles...
