THE GULF WAR: The Home Front : Culture: Comedy

Imagine Gulf Crisis night in a New York COMEDY CLUB recently. A sample: Comedian John Stuart asks who but a New Yorker could find humor in the terrorist threat--”You mean WE have to watch out for random acts of violence?” Adds impressionist Jim Morris, “I have to have smart jokes--as opposed to dumb jokes--that hit their target, and hope I don’t bomb.”
