...wildly uneven. Except for Robert Vaughn's reptilian Haldeman/Ehrlichman and John Houseman's phlegmatic John Mitchell, all of the President's self-serving men are bland. The many familiar TV actresses in the cast are interchangeable, and so are the canned romantic subplots in which they appear. The series would have been smart to leave at least most of Washington's bedroom doors closed...
Though this subculture is predominantly black, many Hispanics and more than a few poor whites belong to the underclass. Among the most glaring subgroups: the Appalachian migrants to dilapidated neighborhoods of some cities, the Chicanos of the Los Angeles slums, the Puerto Ricans of Spanish Harlem. But the Hispanics appear to be moving ahead somewhat faster; 55% of the nation's blacks, v. 49% of the Spanish-speaking minorities, still live in the mostly depressed areas of central cities. The black concentration in the cities seems fated to increase because the birth rate among blacks is 51% higher than among...

...years or more, nightly network television news has been of a predictable muchness-earnest, responsible, muted. Behind the scenes, huge sums are involved in ratings rivalries, in promotional buildups of anchormen, in bouncing live pickups off satellites, in devising ever more elaborate news stage-sets-but what appear over the air are three lookalike, sedately animated versions of the New York Times. The professional news-gathering staffs of CBS, NBC and ABC have a caste solidarity. Their views generally prevail because the giant networks are concerned with prestige-and during most of the broadcast day, with game shows and trashy...
