PEOPLE, Page 73Sketch Artists
By MICHAEL QUINN
The TV host who lists God among his dear, dear friends.
The rocket scientist reduced to infantile babbling by a
possessive mother. Everyone had a favorite "Mike and Elaine"
sketch last week when the legendary comics were feted at a
Manhattan benefit for the Museum of Television & Radio.
Filmmakers today, 30 years ago MIKE NICHOLS and ELAINE MAY meant
surgically precise social satire. Tom Brokaw recalled his
college days, when playing a Nichols and May record by
candlelight was the essence of hip. Now, says May, "language has
deteriorated to gobbledygook. We have such `politicalspeak' that
the language itself is satire."
