The "Young Man from Boston" in the 10:00 p.m. documentary is none other than John F. Kennedy, of whom it might also be said that he was a Young Man in a Hurry.

Allan Sherman, whom we listened to last week, is all over the place today, appearing both on Today and Tonight to plug his autobiography, A Gift of Laughter. (He was also a guest on last night's Sullivan show, and for all I know there might be more.) Sadly, his career was now on the downside, which is truly unfortunate. He was a very funny man.

I never fail to be impressed by programs like Hullabaloo that are able to cram so many acts into a single half-hour. Lesley Gore sings "My Town, My Guy and Me"; I don't know if it was supposed to be ironic or not.

Ben Casey features a rare dramatic performance by Dick Clark, as a dedicated young doctor who returns from Africa with a mysterious ailment nobody seems able to diagnose. The episode has one of the more pretentious titles from an era in which pretentious titles were the norm: "Then I, and You, and All of Us Fell Down."

I enjoy checking out the local programs of the era when I can - Luci's Toyshop (9:00 a.m.) ran on WBNS from 1961 to 1972. when so many local kids' shows left the air, thanks to so many of the do-gooders trying to reform that kind of programming.
