- 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

- deteriorated to gobbledygook. We have such `politicalspeak' that
- the language itself is satire."
