Bud [yorkin] Was The Kindest And Dearest Man, And One Of The Most Talented Directors There Was.

Bud [yorkin] Broke Out Big When He Did 'the Fred Astaire Show' And Won Four Emmys. His Wife At The Time Suggested That We Team Up. We Got A Lot Of Press In Show Business Papers, And A Number Of Offers...we Eventually Signed With Paramount Pictures. But I Always Like To Say, His Was The Horse That We Rode In On. That Is My Favorite Recollection.

That's A Very Hard Thing To Help The Establishment Know. We're Still An Establishment That Thinks The Average Mentality Is Something Like 13 Years Of Age, That Never Forgot H.l. Mencken's Notion That Nobody Lost Money Underestimating The Intelligence Of The American People. That's The Horseshit The Establishment Has Always Lived With.

You Know, You Throw Rocks In The Lake And Scientists Will Tell You You're Raising The Level Of The Lake, But All You Get To See Is The Ripple.
