Art Buchwald dead
The death of Art Buchwald, the hotshot political columnist who peaked in the '60s and'70s, was announced yesterday by his son. Buchwald's humor was never, as I recall, terribly savage or incendiary -- he worked and played within the established boundaries -- but in his better moments he displayed a delicious wit.

And while many will remember Buchwald's battles witih Paramount regarding payment for script-doctoring on Coming to America, let's not forget that Buchwald also wrote the (scant) dialogue for Jacques Tati's masterpiece Playtime.
