Alan Alda, who made himself a few million dollars by re-playing
the Korean War with a laughtrack, has found another way to make
some bucks with even less effort.  Alan has sold his soul to
Atari, and will be hawking (!) their wares in television spots.
According to this morning's paper, he has already insisted in
a few changes to remove any sexism from the ads.  How noble.
At least he will be able to pander with a pure heart.  I guess
he couldn't line up a contract with Mrs. Smith's All-American
Deep-dish Quiche Pies.
