...some ways Rainer executed an about-face, doubling back to the art of Martha Graham, the domineering matriarch that modern dance rebelled against for 20 years. Like Graham, Rainer settled on emotion as the content of her work, and on her own persona as its driving force. She writes...

NBC is countering with Serpico, based on the best-selling book and hit movie about a real-life New York cop. ABC has a conventional cop show, Most Wanted, starring the able but unexciting Robert Stack. A bigger gamble is ABC's opulently produced Charlie's Angels, in which three sexy women investigators-Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors and Jaclyn Smith...
