...create a sweet and believable character who does not need the script's occasional overkill in what the trade calls "heart" scenes. Samples: an oh-so-wistful, what's-life-all-about dialogue in a confessional in the first episode; a painfully prolonged avowal of friendship for Co-Star José Perez in another. The infectiously funny Perez, as one of Calucci's handful of oddball employees, is the show's second asset. He is a perfect foil for Coco's brand of gentle humor, and steals a star's share of the laughs...
Cosell apparently values his wit more than any other quality, and his book gives him a chance to display it in all its dismalness. For example, he recalls the time he and his "Monday Night Football" co-star, Don Meredith, were visiting the Detroit Lions' training camp. Near them was Bobby Williams, a black member of the team.

If Bobby has his way, he will simultaneously ring up some new proceeds and put down women's tennis. The match is the result of a challenge he made two years ago to Billie Jean King. "You insist that top women players provide a brand of tennis comparable...
...David Whiting, was found dead in Miles' motel room a month ago during the shooting of MGM's western, The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing. Pills and bottles were scattered around his body, and bruises and a bloody cut were found on his head. Miles and her co-star Burt Reynolds had originally declined to testify at the inquest. But Whiting's mother, Mrs. Louise Campbell of Washington, D.C., obtained a court order requiring their testimony...
