Quite possibly, both family and TV veterans are glad the despotic old bastard is six feet under... The old Trader Vic's location on Cosmo Place is now Le Colonial, a Vietnamese restaurant. I've never eaten there, but it's supposed to be yummy. Not to be nitpicky or anything, but Trader Vic is actually six feet above ground, not under -- he's in a wall crypt. --cindy
