...that Ray acted alone--is just too flaky. I've never understood how a bumbling petty crook like Ray, who was once nabbed by police as he re-entered the window of a business he had just robbed to steal a few more items, could singlehandedly evade a police dragnet in Memphis, Tennessee, drive a conspicuous white Mustang all the way to Atlanta, then get out of the country and journey as far as Portugal before finally being apprehended in London.

That's not all the news from the New York dragnet. On June 20, a man cinematically know as the "Zodiac Killer" was finally apprehended after years of preying on the citizens of New York.

...frustrating that in the first two seasons TNG writers came and went like Tribbles as Roddenberry assiduously rewrote nearly every script to conform to his notion of futuristic collegiality and his distaste for warfare. He had written for such popular shows as Dragnet and Have Gun Will Travel, and candidly envisioned the original Star Trek series as a "Wagon Train to the stars." In his quintessentially '60s view, the final frontier may have been full of hostile Klingons and dangerous Romulans, but they were generally susceptible to a pep talk -- only occasionally augmented by a punch in the nose -- from...
