...relationship before their first exchange, and the relationship provides one of the few emotional landmarks in a wilderness of obscure Renaissance jokes. In other cases Lachow resorts to more familiar conceits of costume and mannerism: one oaf appears with a crew cut, a white-robed sidekick follows a black-robed curate and so forth...
...Patrolman Ed Johnson is considered one of the kids on the beat. His sidekick, Orville Sorenson, is 73. Roy Rogers and Gabby Hayes they are not, but they are close. Along with 275 other volunteers, they make up the Sun City posse, a real, live law-enforcement group that combats the elements of crime in its little piece of the new West-a suburban retirement community outside Phoenix.

He realizes the outrage of bidding against a rival reporter for photos of carnage, but he does it anyway. He is genuinely disturbed when he realizes the execution of a family has been staged specifically...
...problems, Lousma and his sidekick, Air Force Colonel C. Gordon Fullerton, 45, a space rookie, tackled their assignments with gusto, so much in fact that they suffered from fatigue during the first few days. But they bounced back after getting extra sleep and rearranging their work schedule. Their biggest challenge was operating a Canadian-built, remote-controlled arm that reached 50 ft. outside the shuttle. When the TV camera at the far end of the arm malfunctioned, the astronauts skillfully used binoculars to guide the giant limb, even getting it to lift an experimental package out of Columbia...
