THE GALLERY CONVENTION
By George Mandel
The Republican and Democratic conventions are over and election time is here.
Do you know whom you want for President? Many of us don't. So we sent our writer
around to get opinions from Mel Brooks, Art Buchwald, Charlie Daniels, Lionel
Hampton, Joseph Heller, Norman Lear, Mario Puzo, and Gay Talese and we ended up
with a most unusual convention
of our own.
