Fantastic! Groucho was one of the greatest comedians who's ever lived. Cavett was a great interviewer because he understood his job was to prompt, not participate.

No swear words is not necessarily a good thing as you are operating with less than 100 percent of the linguistic tool box, When the context of the story requires something stronger and using milder language lessens the impact or authenticity and ultimately makes the joke less funny.

I come from the old “analog” world, and don’t feel I fit into this “digital” and “smart phone” world. I’m sooo glad that I’m old enough to have shared the world with these master builders of American culture! In the late 50’s and thru to the late 70’s, these first generation Hollywood/TV people chiseled bare stone into a culture/society that dominated the globe. The “American century” is drawing to a close, if it’s not already over. The centre of influence has shifted from North America/Europe, to the “Far East”. It’s become embarrassing to compare American infrastructure with the public services and transportation in a place like Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, etc! RIP, Groucho! I will never, ever forget you and your brothers! You bring me as much joy now, as you did when I was a little boy at the beginning of the 60’s. Peace

+typhoon We all had carefree childhoods and had a crush on our teachers. But that has nothing to do with how society is in general. During the first half of the 20th century there were two huge global wars, Korean war, Vietnam war, and millions of people got killed. there was the depression, revolutions, and chaos all over the world. Not to mention how they scared people during the cold war, and there were considerable number of violent crimes back then. I don't think back then society was in a 'better' condition than now. The only better thing back then had was that there wasn't any overpopulation problem as we have today, maybe because people kept killing each other in the wars and there were no antibiotics. But there are too many damn narcissistic asshole people now a days, so there are too many more criminals and crazies too. More people so more violence. But people back then were highly violent too, not to mention how students bullied each other. Women couldn't vote or even own a property. Another good thing in the past was that they didn't have all these electronic devices, so people were not monitored by the gov so much as we're being watched from all directions. But the history of mankind is filled with millions of violence. Human being is a violent beast, even much more violent than animals.
