Comic books provide inspiration for some of this year's collection. Mattel's think tank christened a green artificial limb, definitely a best buy at $3, "Hulk Hand." An identical red limb--Spiderman Hand--is available for the same money...
Meanwhile, to the great dismay of the Administration-and not a few Senators-the SALT II accord had become a hostage to the Soviet troops controversy. Complained a top White House official: "It's this horrible hulk that threatens SALT II. It's demoralizing." Not only has the dispute given SALT's opponents a chance to depict the Kremlin as an untrustworthy treaty partner, but the controversy has seriously damaged the effectiveness of one of SALT's most important backers, Senator Frank Church...
This isn't to say that the film is unflawed. There are moments when the film gets carried away with itself.

Unfortunately for NBC, its stockpile of good shows is so low that it cannot capitalize on such a strong lead-in; there is nothing for an encore. ABC also starts behind on Saturday, with the mindless Delta House, but the night is saved by Love Boat and Fantasy Island, both strong, fatuously cheerful shows. Sunday is also a downer for ABC, with...
