...LIKE THE AUTUMN CHERRY tree, in full flower. Approaching her 20th anniversary at ABC, Barbara Walters has never seemed more splendid. In the past few months, she has landed interviews with Colin Powell, Christopher Reeve, Robert Packwood, Susan Smith's ex-husband, Hugh Grant's girlfriend and, on O.J.

...revolutionary. Jerry has been a revolutionary, a warrior, as long as I've known him. He battled for the American soul, out there on the edge of a dangerous frontier--battling the forces of the Grinch, the forces of darkness. It was a typical old flower-child battle for the forces of good and mercy and gentleness and mischief. You can't work that frontier without getting into some danger now and then. The dire wolf finally...
