Alan Alda is My Hero P.2

General: [laughing at Hawkeye's joke] You kill me!
Hawkeye: What better praise for a surgeon?

Probably, Alan Alda reaches my heart, apart from his lovely autobiographies, which are both humorous and life-altering, for his soliloquey-episode in M*A*S*H, "Hawkeye" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzggcKX0GmA). It is amazing that one man can hold your attention so easily for such a long period of time. I mean, Hamlet pretty much lost me after "to be or not to be" but then, he was a bit of a whiner. Hamlet wasn't my favorite Shakespeare...
