ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today your broad and enthusi-
astic outlook will add the nec-
essary impetus to help advance
your self-interests. Obstacles
won’t intimidate you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You could be rather lucky
today and profit in some man-
ner from situations not entirely
of your own making. Focus on
joint ventures.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your
influence is likely to be strong-
er than usual today, whether
you're dealing with groups or
persons on a one-to-one basis.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Substantial rewards could be
in store today provided you
keep your objectives realistic.

get it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Friendly
competition serves to bring out\
your finer qualities today. You'll
want to win, but if you lose
you’ll do so with grace.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Joint ventures look favorable
today, but try to work with the
resources of others. You won’t
be selfish doing so, just prag-
matic.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Oth-
ers may be in a better position
to do things for you today than
you're able to accomplish on
your own. You’ll gain their sup-
port by being cooperative.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If
you are involved In something
today that’s financially mean-
ingful, stick with it until you
succeed even if you must burn
the midnight oil.

By FRED ROTHENBERG
AP Television Writer
■ NEW YORK (AP) - You don’t
have to be the life of the party to
get your jokes on “Saturday
■ Night Live.” You just have to
write funny material and hand it
■ to a cast member who gets paid to
■ put the lampshade on his head.
“People have the image of
■ Morey Amsterdam cracking
'jokes on a couch on the old ‘Dick
Van Dyke Show,’” said Kevin
I Kelton, a writer for NBC’s
■ “Saturday Night Live.” “Nine out
of 10 comedy writers I kriow are
| not the funniest people I know.”
B Kelton, 27, could win a Ted Kop-
pel lookalike contest. Slightly.
I built with short-cropped brown
I hair, fie favors corduroys and
flannels as work outfits. His NBC
office is neat. The major props
are a typewriter, a thesaurus and
I a rubber globe he bounces off the
I walls.
Kelton belies the image, Teft-
, over from the original “Saturday
Night Live” troupe that included
Dan Aykroyd and the late John
Belushi, that “SNL” script ses-
sions were conducted like
marijuana-enhanced seances.
“We’re not the hippies people
think we are,” said Kelton.
The work week for a show
begins Monday, when the host —
last week Flip Wilson — meets the
staff and makes suggestion.
“Usually we listen, nod politely
and ignore everthing they say,”
said Kelton.
The exception was when Bran-
don Tartikoff, president of NBC
Entertainment, was host. “We
didn’t ignore Brandon — he’s
everybody’s boss,” said Kelton.
“He knew he wasn’t a performer,
so he asked us not to lock him into
things he couldn’t do. He also en-
couraged us to be rough on him —
otherwise it would look like we
were coddling him.”
After the meeting, the host goes
door to door, and the writers pitch
their ideas. The rest of Monday
and Tuesday are devoted to
writing. On Wednesday, the pro-
ducers select the show’s basic
lineup, and everybody gets
together to read the first draft.
Kelton said there’s no weekly
quota for the eight staff writers,
who all have individual contracts
lasting a minimum of 13 episodes.
“If you submit one piece each
week and it gets on, that’s fine. If
you submit 10 pieces and none
gets on, then you’re not doing the
job.”
Writing a good piece for Eddie
Murphy, the show’s most popular
performer, improves Kelton’s
chances. He created a Mr. Robin-
son sketch, in which Murphy,
playing a hip version of children’s
program host Fred Rogers, is
given a surprise by a girlfriend.
It’s a baby. His.
Kelton finds less network in-
terference t
“The censor who works with us is
a reasonable man. We both find
the same things tolerable, but we
have different senses of humor.
The only taboo is religion. We lose
sponsors every time we alienate a
religious group.”

When your first chance is
an even 50 percent and your
second chance a small extra
that you can attempt while
still reserving your main * s
chance, you can’t afford to
ignore that extra one.
West opened the king of
sipades and continued with
tne jack after South ducked.
East followed with the trey
and deuce. Their carding
was to.play next-to-top on. a
king lead, so South knew
that East was dealt exactly
three-spades- -and that the
suit was going to breaF5-3."
A successful club finesse
.....would give him--nine-quick
tricks; an immediate losing
club finesse would leave him
down one.
Then there was that extra
chance. South chose to work
ort diamonds first. If the
queen dropped doubleton he
would have his game with-
out benefit of chibs. If the
queen dropped singleton he
would have to try a second-
round finesse for the 10
which would fail if some
genius defender false-carded
with Q-IO doubleton. All it
risked was an extra 50
points, so South banged
down the ace and king of

begins with Mai Brooks and Anne 32 scourge
Hancroft singing “Sweet Georgia 33 Author of

release is the least insane of the

the most enjoyable.
The source is the 1942 Ernst
Lubiltsch comedy in which Jack
