      Maybe it's just me as a Yank and how I perceive his presence from afar; a distance of both a vast ocean and most of the North American continent. It seems to me that Mr. Bastable actually knew something of what he was speaking about and was imparting an education, unlike the dunces parading around the media field and demanding to be respected for their hackneyed vapidity/self-assesed comic value, in the years since his time.
