Melissa Suggests Maki"n·g Four O'Clock Cookies By Joseph and Marilyn R?derick It is a rare event when I stay up past the late news and watch one of the nightly TV shows, so I probably see . about five such shows a year. Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, and Dick Cavett reign supreme for the late night set, but for the life of me, I can'~ imagine why anyone would cause you can't really taste it. sit in front of his set watch- In fact they taste more like sugar cookies, only they are ing any of them. They much taller.

strike me as gigantic bores interspersed with a multitude of com-' mercials. This week we have Jane Fonda , on another crusade, Truman Capote plugging a new book, George Jessel plugging Israel, a sprinkling of women's lib representatives, and occasionally, but rarely, a truly interesting personality with nQthing to sell but entertaining conversation, Desperate Networks From my limited perspectiye of five shows a year, several features standout: there are very few conversationalists avail: able. for a national viewing audience, most viewers do not mind being imposed upon to listen to sales pitches, and the networks are desperate to fill up dead time. Overexposure has made the whole thing a bore and the up· coming TV season gives us little reason for hope. The night shows are still with us, including a couple' of afternoon talk shows, the same old series are presented to us with minor variations and a few new faces, the specials will appear again but will most likely be sporadic and casually presented, the news wiII continue to be spotty and the commercials will remain with us.: ad nauseam. The only recourse is to return to reading for another Winter and hope the children do not get addicted to some outrageous prQgram that you will have to deprive them of before the season is over.
If you get hungry when you're making them, this is a good recipe because it only takes about 20 minutes to make them and they bake in about 2 minutes. So before you know it they're ready for you to eat. Yumm, yum.
