Others defend the performance of CBS's management team. "Wyman is doing what's necessary," says Edward Atorino, media analyst for Smith Barney. "He's taking the heat for doing exactly what (Capital Cities Chairman) Tom Murphy has been doing at ABC and getting a lot of applause for."

Ever since he dodged FBI surveillance in New Mexico last September, the ex-CIA officer and suspected spy Edward Lee Howard was expected to turn up in the Soviet Union. Last week he did just that, in print anyway, when a Soviet newspaper reported that Howard had been given political asylum.

For that aspiration, Miller has often been rebuked and advised to return to family melodrama.
