...script and rehearsing the changes. At 5 p.m. the rehearsal broke up; the Boston Globe arrived to talk to John Wood, the show's lead, who had stopped in Boston last year with Tom Stoppard's Travesties, and we settled down in the auditorium with a relaxed, casual Robert Moore. A few stagehands milled about the stage...
...survey is no casual exercise in abstract research. Palmdale sits atop the San Andreas Fault, the great crack that marks the boundary between two of the earth's shifting tectonic plates. Scientists fear that the ominous rise of the 83,000-sq.-km. (32,000-sq.-mi.) region, nicknamed the Palmdale Bulge, could be the first hint of a future major earthquake along that section of the fault, which lies only some 56 km. (35 miles) north of downtown Los Angeles...

Unlike the Norman Lear sitcoms on CBS, ABC's shows do not pretend to deal with topical issues, and their premises are brazenly retrograde. Happy Days copies Dobie Gillis; Three's Company recalls Petticoat Junction and Love That Bob. Laverne and Shirley's slapstick antics- usually built around wild schemes to earn money or meet men-are often indistinguishable from the adventures of Lucy...
