[Groop]To Mark (OT)

Amen! Preach on, brother!

If you get a chance, read Harpo Speaks!, Harpo's autobography. It's 
back in print and is wonderful! There are some great stories about 
Alexander Wolcott and the Algonquin Round Table. George S. Kaufman, 
who was a writer on many of the Marx brothers movies was also the 
writer with Moss Hart of The Man Who Came to Dinner and You Can't 
Take it with You.

Enough of my plug.
