Comic relief is provided by a cast of four regulars, who make up a motley, multiracial sampling of the building's tenants: an Italian con man, a black superintendent, a fiery Puerto Rican and a jittery white liberal. "Quite on!" shouted the ersatz liberal in a demonstration of solidarity with Davis in last week's installment. "You know," he added, "I was the first to complain when they took Amos 'n' Andy off the air." It is a complaint likely to be echoed by a broader audience when the Melba Moore-Clifton Davis Show ends...

In the wake of the massacre at Tel Aviv airport two weeks ago, when three Japanese gunmen killed 24 people-among them 17 Puerto Rican pilgrims-Israel vowed revenge.

...even takes to intimidating Norah's two kids. Meanwhile, a beautiful model, a girl friend of Joel's, is found beheaded in her apartment. The killing, the po lice insist, bears an uncanny resemblance to mutilations performed the previous summer in Central Park by a Puerto Rican named Tonio Perez. Tonio was a close friend of Joel's, but Tonio, as it happens, is now dead...
