Edward Asner, who plays Lou, has been developing the character for seven seasons. On Mary Tyler Moore he first played his role as another gruff but lovable TV sitcom boss-like Lucy's Gale Gordon. By the time that series concluded last season, Asner had given Lou three dimensions: he was still a comic figure, but he was also a lonely, somewhat self-destructive man.

...does present a complex narrative with surprising clarity. The Washington settings, from the Oval Office to the Georgetown salons, lend a nice air of authenticity.

...space shuttle's historic test began at dawn, when a cherry picker lifted Pilot Fred Haise Jr., 43, a civilian, and Copilot Charles Gordon Fullerton, 40, an Air Force lieutenant colonel, aboard the craft. Two hours later, engines roaring, the 747 mother ship raced down the runway and rose into the air with the Enterprise clinging to its back like a mating insect. Accompanied by five silver T-38 chase planes that drifted around the pair like pilot fish escorting a shark, the odd couple climbed slowly to 8,100 meters (27,000 ft.). At that altitude...
