...weeks Rhoda Morgenstern became TV's favorite wisecracking overweight spinster, and Valerie Harper emerged as a winningly wacky comic actress. Before the season ended, she won the first of her three Emmy awards, for a show in which Mary fixed up a date for her with an old flame-who showed up with his wife. Said Rhoda: "I'd like to introduce you to my date, Mr. and Mrs. Armand Linton...
Small wonder then that Matucci feels badly used by his superiors. His most entertaining manipulator is the Salamander himself-an old, immensely rich fairy Godfather. Like the legendary salamander who lives in flame, he has survived the fires of illegitimacy and Mussolini's Fascism with his lizard's skin unscathed. The Salamander does for West's story what the wolf does for the tale of Red Riding Hood.

The Soviet Union and India became the first countries to recognize the new government last week. In Washington, the State Department said that it had recognition under consideration...
Then it was Koslov's turn. After a slow flight over the runway, the TU-144 started an even more awesome zoom climb, afterburners streaking yellow flame and turbofans thundering. "My God," said U.S. Test Pilot Bob Hoover, "I don't see how he can do it!" At 3,000 ft., Koslov began flattening his climb. The plane's needle nose pointed downward, then the craft went into an arrowhead plunge as the pilot struggled to regain control. The stress was too great. At 2,000 ft., the left wing ripped off first, followed by the tail...
