...seeing artificial eye nearly popped out of his head. Who could blame him? Jaime looked smashing, and as Steve's blood pressure climbed, so did the show's ratings. Explains willowy Lindsay Wagner, who plays Jaime: "Viewers tuned in to see whether passion could flow between two people who were part Timex."

...seems clear that all of them talked--except St. Clair, who, as a result, comes across as a pain in the neck and only a second-rate hot-shot. Haig, who now denies everything, was the real motive force: he was the chief of staff and so controlled the flow of paper and visitors, he was a crucial link to Kissinger, he was the only person who seemed to know what everyone else was supposed to be doing when the crunch came...
