Pelelman, advising him, with humor, on how to sell more copies of his book. In part: "…I suggest you go on the Johnny Carson Show, the Merv Griffin Show, the Jack Douglas Show….It's not very pleasant work, revealing yourself publicly…you may become a great actor. With a white wig and a pillow under your vest, there's no reason why you couldn't play King Lear….and remember: this advice hurts me more than it does you. This is what parents state to their children when they're slugging them with a hairbrush." Fine.
