Two Points

A reader who signs himself "Shill" writes, "Bill Cosby received a Ed.D. (Doctor of Education) not a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) in education. There is a big difference." Yes, there is. I stand corrected.

Reader Yacov Freedman doesn't think Ray Bolger lied about his age. He thinks Bolger misspoke; that the script he was performing said "forty-eight years" and he accidentally said "forty." This was the 48th annual Academy Awards ceremony so it had been 48 years since "it all started." Had Bolger said the correct number then his line about his age would have been accurate. Yacov is probably right.

Okay, I guess I didn't succeed in not blogging much today. I might as well post a video link…
