Dale Wasserman, 94
The man who adapted *One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and who wrote the book for *Man of La Mancha* died last week.
Eartha Kitt, too -- a lot of stage luminaries dying lately. As for Wasserman, the *New York Times* obit relates how cantankerous he was; how he lived as a hobo; and relates a great anecdote about how W.H. Auden miunderstood the ending of *La Mancha.*
