Overview

Particularly amusing telephonic chat between actor Peter Ustinov, impresario Sol Hurok and Maryland's Governor Theodore McKeldin. This combative trio consider politics, culture and TV. Hurok and Ustinov both make good sense, with the latter being not only perceptive, but witty as he demolishes several ideas advanced by Governor McKeldin, who unintentionally proves Ustinov's contention that politicians, like the Russians, can be funny precisely because they have no sense of humor.
