An Kerr I thought was just a damn dood writer. Frequently disagreed with him as well but very articulate and often blisteringlyfunny. He was great at substantiating his position. I wrote a college paper on the demise of the Boulevard Comedy in relation to TV and read all of his play reviews in the 60's. If you can find it, read his opening paragraphs on a completely forgotten little thing called ONCE FOR THE ASKING. It is hilarious and creates such a vivid impression of what that evening in the theater must have been like.
