...giants as Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito, then 68, and India's Jawaharlal Nehru, 70. Castro has now survived for 20 years as Cuba's "maximum leader." He is also riding a wave of international prestige as chairman of the nonaligned nations, whose conference he was host for-and dominated-in Havana last month...
...bulbs in millions of homes. In Edison's words: "There was no precedent for such a thing, and nowhere in the world could we purchase these parts. It was necessary to invent everything: dynamos, regulators, meters, switches, fuses, fixtures, underground conductors with their necessary connecting boxes, and a host of other detail parts, even down to insulating tape."

Actually, it's a lot like watching Olivier host Saturday Night Live. Worse, Borowitz and his court set to cutting scenes for length (still leaving a two hour leviathan, without intermission) they cut a few of Clemenson's funnier sketches, including an exuberant parody of Harry Reasoner. The show suffers...
