**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Julianna Margulies GOOD WIFE CHAOS --- I finally watched the three Good Wife episodes culminating in the loss of Josh Charles; the show’s Will Gardner. First, I've been particularly struck by the nuances of all the shows this season; terrifically well written and acted, so these three fit seamlessly in and though some have argued that the writer’s painted themselves into a corner and just had to have a resolution like this, it turns out that this had been in the planning stages for almost a year.

They'll get a Special Merit Award, cooked up in a backroom maneuver. Also in the better-late-than-never category are: Linda Ronstadt, Hall & Oates, and Cat Stevens. KISS also made the cut this year, as did Peter Gabriel. Nirvana made it on their first year of eligibility. Also being inducted, are the original managers of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, respectively Brian Epstein and Andrew Loog Oldham. (How about Nat Weiss and Sid Bernstein?) Notably absent yet again are dozens of producers who made hit records and created the sounds of stars in the 60’s and 70’s including Phil Ramone, Ri...
