...comedy. At a M*A*S*H bash to say goodbye, the show's creators and stars were feted with a black-tie dinner in West Hollywood by CBS and the series' producer, 20th Century-Fox. Among M*A*S*H alumni, only Wayne Rogers, 49 (a.k.a. Trapper John McIntyre), turned up to share a homecoming hug with Alan Alda, 46, characteristically unshaven, but sporting a tux. Demobbing Day on the air for the current M*A*S*H regulars is Feb. 28, when, with the war over, the members of the 4077th return home to families...

"It was so simple," Irving remembers. " Yount was the first person to point out to me that anything I did except writing was going to be vaguely unsatisfying...
...Mountain Men concerns a trapper (Charlton Heston) who in a battle with a band of Blackfeet acquires an Indian maid (Victoria Racimo). For the rest of the film her Indian master (Stephen Macht) and Heston have at each other for possession of the lady, yet the struggle is not developed with much style.
