...collar even when unemployed so everyone will know he is in show biz. One is touched by the physical fact that his left wrist was permanently larger than the right from breaking repeated pratfalls.

As a young intellectual, John Lahr is eloquent, too, about his father's final sense that he did not understand the modern world around him.
