...helicopter is the logical extension of all those charging and leaping cars that really yearn to fly. The longtime love affair between TV and the automobile is still revving. The Dukes of Hazzard, an endless demolition derby masquerading as a plot, features a 1969 Dodge Charger called General Lee whose owners minister to it as the Lone Ranger did to Silver. (Just as the cowboy could kiss his pony but not his gal, the new auto-cowboys make much of caressing the curves of their hoods.) The latest incarnation of the car as creature is NBC's Knight Rider...

The royal family was bound for the huge open ground of the Horse Guards Parade for the annual ceremony of the Trooping the Color in honor of the monarch's official birthday. Suddenly, as millions of television viewers looked on, six shots rang out. The Queen's horse reared...
