afraid somewhat soggy studio audience”

public relations director for the city, and was the founder of its annual St
Patrick’s Day Parade. Scanlon had

Mr. X: “My great-great-grandfather started the Mutiny on the
Bounty”
Parkin Christian is not only the direct descendant of Fletcher
Christian, but he still lives on Pitcairn Island, where Fletcher and other
mutineers hid out with their Tahitian captives after the 1779 incident. Despite more than a decade of unrest and
violence that followed, including the murder of Fletcher and other mutineers by
the Tahitians, Pitcairn became a peaceful and stable, if small, community. At the time of Parkin’s visit to the show,
152 people lived on Pitcairn. Today,
some fifty descendants of the original group remain on the island.
Special Guest Phil Silvers
Silvers has conspired with each panelist individually to react to
certain actions on his part. Each
panelist thinks they’re the only one in on the joke, when the joke is actually
being played on all four of them simultaneously. Silvers is promoting next week’s TV special
“Phil Silvers On Broadway,” which was produced by Allan Sherman.
