dramatization of the elder
Wynn's discovery.
Their reason for calling was
above-and-beyond-the-call to
publicity.
keenan, explains it best:
While our play is autobio-
graphical (the story of how Ed
was almost yanked out of the
cast of Requiem for a Heavy
weight" in rehearsal in 1856
because he was so bad, it's
not the story of a domestic
conflict or squabble. The CHS
stories unfortunately gave that
impression. It's simply the
story of a difference of opinion
between two professionals"
CThe CHS release describes
THE Man in the Funny Suit"
as the true story Of smold-
ering father-Son conflict. :"
Ed went further:
"You take a criminal lawyer
and a corporation lawyer and
a civil suit lawyer-they're all
lawyers. but they're different
kinds. All my life, for 53i2
years, l had been a highly
stylized comedian. keenan, did
comedy but in dramas-these
are different lines of work"
That's right" said keenan,.
Every bit of comedy I did was
based on truth. all of the
comedy dad did was"
Highly contrived," Ed in
serted.

The senior Wynn (who will
be "a in November) had some
wise things to say about the
current low status of comedy.

sential thing for the content

foreign affairs for weeks has been
something that no intelligence
agency in the world can ever sup
ply. It's known as common sense"
1t is something with which the
average American Is abundantly
provided, but somehow it does not
seem to have trickled up to this
Administration. The only explana-
ton for the incredible series Of mis-
takes that makes sense to me Is
that in the panic Of preparing for
presidential election we have lost
our heads.
Just think back to what we have
done in recent weeks:
The President announces that
certain pressing domestic prob
lens might make it necessary to
absent himself from the summit"
conference, so he feels free to send
Nixon as his substitute. This was
an obvious build-up for the Nixon
for-President movement. But Khru-
shchev quickly said he would not
buy it and asserted, in typical
language, that it was like send
ing a goat to tend the cabbage
patch"
When called upon to explain
this obvious political gesture, the
President resorted to the flimsiest
Of explanations: Congress might
do something in his absence that
requires a veto, so he would have
to come home to study the situa-
ton. No one bothers to answer
that all the data and even the ex-
perts could be flown to Paris.
This was the beginning of our
downgrading of the summit meet
ing. Then came the U-2 affair,
with outright lies offered as the
first explanation, followed up by
what Madison Ave.-types liked to
call Operation Candor." Finally
we announce that we will continue
sending spy planes as long as the
Russians don't open their secrets
to us.
If someone of the geniuses in the
Administration had only applied
that simplest of tests-how would
we have reacted II Khrushchev had
made a similar announcement? p
it would have been self-evident
that we were making a grievous
tactical error.

But to delude ourselves into
