...descriptions of him as a media creature, even creation, were unavoidable. Sometimes Dundee even referred to him poetically as "prime time," and said the first sign of Leonard's greatness was "just the way he raised his arms and filled the screen."

The pollsters believe the change was "influenced in part by the spectacle of Israeli pilots flying American warplanes over Lebanon and making hash of Soviet-made planes...
