by Herb Gardner | August 9-26, 2012A comic chestnut from the 1960s!

Murray Burns believes in living life fully, even if that means going to the movies instead of looking for a job. Unfortunately,

his eccentric, carefree nature makes him a questionable role model while raising his twelve-year-old nephew in New York City.
