The senselessly repetitious contradictory phraseology was the height--or depth--of idiocy. The plethora of adjectival expressions left more than understandability to be desired. His writing (sic) brought to mind an analogical phrase: You are mentally incapable of recognizing the line between legitimate persiflage and objectionable familiarity; Bernheimer should confine his repartee to affirmation or negative monosyllable. So, Buddy, say, "Yes, it's good" or "No, it ain't!" EDWARD POLA Redlands This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
