...city fathers may not appreciate the etymology lesson that opens CBS's new mini-series, Fresno. But Creator Barry Kemp (a writer-producer who has worked on Taxi and Newhart) could not help noticing that Fresno, the world's raisin capital, wound up last in a 1984 ranking of American cities according to quality of life. To be sure, the quality of life for the raisin-growing Kensington family has been drying up for years. The family patriarch was crushed to death 20 years ago in a dehydrator accident. Now his widow Charlotte (Carol Burnett) spends her time sipping Bloody...
...which several dozen younger Americans were declared the best and the brightest of their generation in a recent exhibition at New York City's International Design Center. Although the Architectural League of New York started the tradition, Interiors magazine was the 1986 sponsor, and Architect Andrew MacNair (who wound up on the list himself) oversaw the selection process. The last time a new 40 was named, in 1976, postmodernism was just revealing its jolly don's face to the world.

Early on, the Perelmans went to Hollywood, where a fellow scenarist, Dashiell Hammett, once noted, "Last night I ran into Sid . . . and wound up by doing a little pimping for him." Soon afterward, Hammett and Laura had a brief fling. It was, Herrmann speculates, "perhaps her way of punishing Sid for his numerous infidelities...
...Force Academy to acknowledge the 25th anniversary of Catch-22 would be to ask the author to come celebrate on campus. But wouldn't that be by definition insane? Never mind. When it actually wants to do something, the military just plows ahead. Which is how Joseph Heller wound up spending last weekend at the academy. Heller thought the idea not the least bit strange. "Catch-22 is no more antiwar or antimilitary than other novels," he says. "What it's critical of is dishonesty, personal corruption, ambition -- what any decent person would be critical of." Furthermore, the academy agrees...
