I was lucky enough to work with him for a year, and would happily have done so for another decade. (Alas, our show was at CBS which even in 2006 had numbskulls in high places.)
Happy belated birthday as well to Marion Ross, who recently turned 97.

Of course, then they should just step aside, but they don't want to do that either. Easier to tell yourself it's not that bad.

And, of course, their resentment of all those Yale folks not immediately recognizing their brilliance drives their hate. Adolescent resentment all the way down.
