The Crisis Game, a docudrama produced by ABC News' Nightline and broadcast for four nights running, was an extraordinary TV hybrid. Ten former high Government officials, acting the unscripted parts of a President and his National Security Council, coped with an imaginary U.S.-Soviet crisis set in 1985: Ayatullah Khomeini's death, Iranian civil war and Red Army battalions pouring across the Soviet border to join local Communist forces...
