Lucille Ball, for example, is returning as a "free-spirited grandmother" who moves in with her daughter's family in ABC's Life with Lucy. Elliott Gould, Ellen Burstyn and Wilford Brimley are among the other stars who will be heading TV homes this season.

Undercutting U.S. policy while visiting a foreign country is "indefensible," said Elliott Abrams, Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American affairs. After Pinochet announced his intention to remain as President of Chile until 1997, Abrams argued that Helms might be "playing into the hands of the Communists" by supporting "an indefinite extension of military rule rather than a transition to democracy." Abrams said that he had approved Barnes' attendance at the funeral. State Department Spokesman Bernard Kalb pointedly described Barnes as "one of the most experienced...
