Book Pick from David Marshall James:  “Brief Encounters” by Dick Cavett”—Before DC landed in front of TV cameras, he wrote special material for comedians, and for “Tonight Show” host Jack Paar.  Although Cavett aspired to perform magic (as did fellow Nebraskan Johnny Carson) as well as stand-up comedy, he gained fame as an interviewer on multiple programs and networks during the late 1960s, throughout the ’70s, and beyond.
     The writing work proved a perfect fit, as Cavett has always had a “thing” for comedians, thus understanding their respective deliveries and what works best for whom.  This compendium of short pieces consists of Cavett-ian columns that first appeared in The New York Times.  Some selections focus on general topics, such as holidays and childhood remembrances of Lincoln, Nebraska, as well as his college years at Yale, including comparisons of then to now.  Nevertheless, the author glows most golden when covering his favorite “mighty mighties” from interviewing and showbiz connections:  Muhammad Ali, Jack Benny, Stan Laurel, Groucho Marx, and Jonathan Winters.  The telephone conversations with Marlene Dietrich are deliciously dishy. 
      Cavett’s extended interviews with such entertainment legends as Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn are frequently shown on Turner Classic Movies, while his guest-celebrity gigs on “The $25,000 Pyramid” (which he recounts in vivid detail) can be caught on the Game Show Network.  The book is ideal for pick-up armchair or restless-at-bedtime reading.  Or for, as the late Richard Dawson would put it, “the toidy.”
