Woody Allen. Or Irwin Corey.

Woody Allen has always been beloved of intellectuals. 

And Irwin Corey has been hated.

Allen's mockery was always directed - apparently - at himself, and hence it was respectful.

Not so, Corey's.

I always liked Allen, who made me laugh.

But Corey nearly made me bust a gut.

He always had my vote for graduation speaker.

A propos, Saul Bellow's Herzog writes,

Dear Doktor Professor Heidegger, I should like to know what you mean by the expression, "the fall into the quotidian." When did this fall occur? Where were we standing when it happened?
