...February, Lorillard introduced Satin, a cigarette with a satin-paper filter tip. Market research indicated that women wanted a product that symbolized luxurious relaxation. Ted van de Kamp, a director with MCA Advertising, says studies showed women in the 1980s are looking for a cigarette that will let them "indulge themselves." Philip Morris put Virginia Slims on the market in 1968 with an image of the striving, independent woman and the slogan "You've come a long way, baby." Its share...
...Angels 'profits to Starsky and Hutch, a show that the producers owned a larger percentage of. Only slightly less elated were executives at ABC who had approved the transfer of funds and ABC President Elton Rule, 63, a close friend of the two producers. If Van De Kamp failed to make the criminal charges stick, he did provide the closest look out siders have ever had into the wheeling and dealing that goes on to make a TV series...
...Hollywood they were calling it Angelgate. It had everything a big production could want: TV stars, starmakers and money-lots and lots of money.

Since then the TV world has been waiting for the D.A. to pounce. Instead he issued an 81-page report that found the main culprits to be sloppy business practices and a kind of Alice-in-Wonderland bookkeeping...
Spelling and Goldberg say the money diverted to Starsky and Hutch was supposed to be returned to Charlie's Angels when S&H was canceled. And that, apparently, is what has been happening. All transactions were duly recorded, Van De Kamp notes, and there was none of the secrecy-"the badges of fraud"-that usually indicates criminality. Yet a few questions remained. Nowhere does the report explain, for example, Sunderland's statement that the exclusivity gimmick was a device to cheat the Wagners...
