...annual salary of $180,000, plus perks that one insider puts at $40,000 a month. Gavin MacLeod (Love Boat), one of her many celebrity parishioners (others: Linda Gray, Lily Tomlin, Eydie Gorme), threw a big bash so she could meet nearly everyone who had ever graced his ABC show. Have it all, said Cole-Whittaker. If you're in an unhappy marriage, chuck it--as she herself has done four times. One of her key postulates: "Prosperity is your divine right...
...ratings. Despite A.D.'s stars (James Mason, Ava Gardner), spectacle and heavy pretelecast promotion, it attracted only 19.2% of the nation's TV viewers.

Responding to the network's shrewdly written (in Polish) request, Pope John Paul II gave NBC extraordinary, although not unprecedented, access to the Vatican as part of the show's week of live broadcasts from Rome. The Pope extended a personal welcome to the NBC crew...
...country's worst recessions in 50 years, seemed increasingly to be on the defensive. Yet, as ever, the more pressure exerted on the leadership, the deeper it dug in its heels, and the more it retreated into kragdadigheid, or a mailed-fist attitude. In an interview on ABC's Nightline program, Botha declared defiantly, "I am going to keep order in South Africa, and nobody is going to stop...
