...first glance at the new television season suggests that the mewing pussycat trademark of Mary Tyler Moore's M.T.M. Enterprises Inc. could turn out to be the tiger of TV situation comedy. M.T.M. is responsible for three of the five new sitcoms on the tube: Rhoda, Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers and The Texas Wheelers. All three seem to have the potential to join Moore's own show (and The Odd Couple, when it is at its erratic best) as the tube's few regular offerings showing something like recognizable human behavior...
...prospect of that match in any location was enough to make promoters clamor. Only one seemed to have the inside track: Robert Arum, Ali's lawyer and the president of Top Rank, Inc., a closed-circuit TV company that has always telecast Ali's fights. To Arum's astonishment, he was quietly outmaneuvered by Don King. Since being paroled from prison in 1971, King had put together a small stable of fighters.

The nine actors and four musicians of The Proposition, a five-year-old improvisational group, have been on strike in Inman Square since September 10 when negotiations between representatives for both sides broke down...
Each actor currently makes around $105 per week--about $87 take-home pay--for what the group calls "unlimited working hours." Albert says he can afford only a $20-per-week pay increase, because, he says, Proposition Workshops, Inc., is a non-profit corporation that is operating on a deficit-spending budget...
