Harvard Lampoon honors Fallon JIMMY FALLON GOT the royal treatment at Harvard. The “Tonight Show” host and “Saturday Night Live” alum was honored Saturday by the Harvard Fallon Lampoon, the country’s oldest continuously published humor magazine. The magazine awarded Fallon its Elmer Award for Excellence in Humor. The comedian was crowned “Emperor of Comedy” and paraded through Harvard Square in a Roman chariot. The parade started by the Inn at Harvard and ended at the steps of the
magazine’s headquarters, Lampoon Castle, where he was presented with a trophy and an 85-cent check. It’s just the seventh time the undergraduate organization says it has bestowed the honor. Previous recipients include Jay Leno, John Cleese and Robin Williams. The 41-year-old Fallon took over “The Tonight Show” from Leno last year.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS PENINSULA POLL SATURDAY’S QUESTION: How much money do you expect to spend on gifts this holiday season?
Passings By The Associated Press
JEROME KASS, 78, who wrote the Tony-nominated book for the 1978 Broadway musical “Ballroom,” which was adapted from his own Emmy-nominated teleplay about older people who salve their loneliness on the dance floor, died Thursday at his home in Manhattan. The cause was prostate cancer, said his wife, the writer Delia Ephron. Mr. Kass was the Mr. Kass author of a handful of Off Broadway stage works, and among his other television credits is the miniseries “Evergreen” (1985), which was based on a bestselling novel by Belva Plain and, starring Lesley Ann Warren, follows a halfcentury or so in the New York life of a Jewish immigrant from Poland. His best known work was “Queen of the Stardust Ballroom” (1975), an adventurous melodrama focusing on, as John J. O’Connor wrote in his New York Times review, “people who are generally ignored by the conspicuous-consumer pursuits of television programming.” Jerome Allan Kass was born in Chicago on April 21, 1937, and grew up in the Bronx in a family that might be described as colorful. His father, Sidney, was in the costume jewelry business and was also an avid gambler, especially fond of the racetrack, to which Jerome’s mother, the former Celia Gorman, often accompanied him. She ran a collectibles shop and later, in her 60s, worked for Off Track Bet-
ting. In an interview, Mr. Kass’s sister, Gail Kass, recalled that after her mother took the job she said: “It’s extraordinary to be on the right side of the window for a change.”
________ BENY J. PRIMM, 87, a doctor who started some of New York City’s first methadone clinics to treat heroin addicts in the 1960s and who, during the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, became a nationally prominent advocate for changing public health policy toward intravenous drug users, died Oct. 16 in New Rochelle, N.Y. His daughter, Annelle Primm, confirmed the death. Dr. Primm was treating trauma cases at Harlem Hospital in the early 1960s when he became aware of the havoc that drug addiction was causing. “As an anesthesiologist, I saw young people in the E.R., their bodies riddled with bullet and knife wounds,” he wrote in his 2014 memoir, “The Healer: A Doctor’s Crusade Against Addiction and AIDS,” written with John S. Friedman. “I knew that behind this devastation was the

scourge of drugs, and I made a promise to myself that I would work to stop these black Mr. Primm kids from going down.” In 1969, he founded the Addiction Research and Treatment Corporation, which opened a methadone clinic in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn and, within a few years, a half-dozen treatment centers in Brooklyn and Manhattan. He became recognized as an authority on heroin addiction and its treatment.
