Long John enjoyed Kojak for its simple, uncluttered black and white structure. No complexity, no troubling questions of historical perspectives or methodological approaches. Simple. Bad guys versus good guys. Black and white. Each episode opened with a violent crime. Kojak would be called in--the bald, wise-cracking New York cop specializing in homicide and a professional hater of a) crooks, b) rich crooks and c) the rich, who probably were crooks anyway or they wouldn't have so much money. Kojak would eventually solve the case in his alloted hour or so and dispatch the criminal by bullet...
Fanciers of McDonald's hamburgers, who are used to giving their orders to teenagers, must have been puzzled by the bald heads and bulky bodies behind the Golden Arches last Friday. No wonder. At a store in San Diego, Founder Ray Kroc, 74, handed over French fries to waiting customers; in Baltimore, McDonald's president, Edward Schmitt, 51, picked up a spatula to flip burgers.

There he counsels and often gives needed sanctuary to other colleagues in dissent. Tall, stoop-shouldered, quick to smile, his gray hair a fringe around his bald crown, Sakharov looks, in these conversations, more like a genial professor holding forth at a home seminar than a man in the process of defying the world's most powerful Communist state. Indeed, the odds of winning his challenge seem so impossible that he sometimes calls himself, with self-deprecating humor, Andrei Blazhenny-a Russian...
...attempt to repeat the success of Patton by island-hopping across the Pacific with the imperious five-star general. Gregory Peck, who plays the lead, studied old newsreels to catch MacArthur's flamboyance and even shaved the crown of his head to match the general's little bald spot...
