LARRY GELBART: THE GUARDIAN OBITUARY

My obituary of Larry Gelbart is in today's Guardian, you can link to it here. I've always liked the idea of comparing Alan Alda to Sid Caesar; one thing I might have mentioned is that Alda tempers Caesar's sense of anarchy with a likeability that Caesar never really had to worry about, but that is something crucial to the success of the TV Hawkeye. I also referred to Lee Harvey Oswald as President Kennedy's "supposed" assassin, but the supposed was edited out.
