...were simple: Helen Harris had tickets to a Denver Bronco football game. She went to a suburban shopping mall to catch a bus to Mile High Stadium. The bus never came, and Mrs. Harris was forced to return to her home and watch the game on TV. Clearly a heinous crime, Denver Judge John Sanchez acknowledged. He awarded Mrs. Harris $44.70 in damages from the bus company...
...promised little more than a New York version of blood, sweat and tears. Koch emphasized the need for further budget cutting and restraint on the once insatiable municipal unions. He reminded voters that even in bygone days when it was less fashionable, he had favored capital punishment for certain heinous crimes. To offset his loner image, he was usually accompanied during the campaign by Bess Myerson, 53, a former Miss America (1945) and a New York City commissioner of consumer affairs...

Herman, discounts the argument that the experiments were heinous: scientists were teaching the mammals to understand two-word sentences by means of computer beeps, and the dolphins were on the verge of learning three-word sentences.

Hakan Serner plays Beck' partner, a worried, weary little man who does most of the legwork. The foils are provided by Kollberg (Sven Wollter) and Larsson (Thomas Hellberg), two handsome young cops who cordially and sarcastically detest each other, but who manage to wrap up the case in the end. One is wealthy and arrogant, the other working-class, bright...
