Happy Birthday Bob Newhart! As a kid, I used to watch the original Bob Newhart show (were he is a psychologist, not an innkeeper) with my parents. It was one of the few TV shows they watched. He was a kind of childhood hero of mine.
Some years later, I heard a radio interview with Stanley Fish, a well known literature professor, were Mr. Fish used one of Bob Newhart's early comedy routines, a phone call from Sir Walter Raleigh (Real Audio), to illustrate deconstructionism. It gave me a whole new appreciation for Mr. Newhart.
