Above all, no attempt has been made to expand Murphy's character. Axel Foley is still a man who can instantly weave a seemingly impenetrable disguise out of an accent and a gush of words parodying everyone from a West Indian psychic to a building inspector. That it is good fun to watch him talk his way into and out of trouble, past authority figures both petty and grand, is beyond dispute. That he can assert his brilliance while retaining his character's lovability in these encounters is a little miracle of the performer's art. That he could move...
...meetings and memos shows that senior officials of the CIA's intelligence division and Pentagon planners were briefed at all stages of the discussion.

"He was a charmer," says Stafford. "He was mobile, smart, bounced around to all these different spots, and you couldn't get a handle...
Kesselman was one of Scorecard's most challenging cases. Inspector Stafford used the program to compile a list of the suspect's known aliases, addresses and friends, and zipped them to WANT teams in New Jersey, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Hawaii. Agents went out in force and ran down the list in a day or two. "If you put enough pressure on someone, it's going to go," reasoned Stafford...
