  Congratulations on what must have been a very difficult endeavor,  Laura  - I don't think I'd be up to it.    
  In other more or less related news  - we're discussing James Baldwin and Eldridge Cleaver on another list and so a bit ago I was watching video clips of Carmichael,  Brown and Seale (Black Panthers) speak at a Free Huey rally.   Same year that Laugh-In came out - my god that was an incredible year -  1968  - from Khe Sahn to the Beatles White Album. 
  I was 20 years old and now I wonder that we weren't all crazy - maybe we were.

    I had the sobering experience of watching Laugh-In re-runs with my worldly and skeptical kids and trying to explain to them why it was considered so provocative and funny way back when.  "See, when they said 'look it up in your Funk and Wagnall's' ... "

  LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Dick Martin, the zany half of the 
  comedy team whose "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" 
  took television by storm in the 1960s, making stars of 
  Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin and creating such national 
  catch-phrases as "Sock it to me!" has died. He was 86.
