...brisk young Nixon men. The brusquely efficient cop. The precise and credible-sounding veteran of the CIA and FBI. All contented with their anonymity only a year ago, they now slipped one by one into a central seat facing seven U.S. Senators ranged along a green-felt-covered table. They braced as the red signal lights of the television cameras blinked on - and then they be came instant principals in a fateful na tional drama in which the political survival of the President is at stake...
...Brezhnev's promotion of Andropov, 59, some Western diplomats saw it as a signal to political ideologues that detente will not be permitted to weaken party strength or orthodoxy. Then again, Brezhnev may simply have felt that it was better, in a major shakeup, to have the top cop inside the tent instead of outside it. The elevation of Romanov, 50, was interpreted as a reward for a dutiful party boss, who becomes a "candidate" member of the Politburo with no voting rights...
...very staff of life for the beleaguered citizens of smog-shrouded, dangerously overcrowded New York City in the year 2022, where there are nearly 200 murders a day and only a rich man can afford cigarettes.

Since the citizenry so painfully rejected his previous efforts at salvation, it develops that this second attempt is actually a form of punishment for their earlier transgressions. Heavy stuff, and never more ludicrously so than when he forces them to literally paint their...
...touch, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, a sanitized TV version of the racy 1969 movie. Thursday night will be given over entirely to fast action, with Kung Fu and The Streets of San Francisco, two current series, and TOMA, which will star Tony Musante as a cop who "relies on his wits and imaginative disguises" to bring the varlets to justice. Every fourth week ABC will even give the viewer science fiction cops and robbers. In Cyborg, Lee Majors will play a test pilot whose body is rebuilt after a crash to make him a superman-and a super crimefighter...
