Accompanying him were an aide, a U.S. embassy official, eight newsmen and leftist attorneys Mark Lane and Charles Garry, who were representing the commune.

She has added comic dimensions to the character which never existed in either the "Superman" television series or in the comic books. Lois is at once the ardent feminist--"I'm not a girl," she declares, "I'm Today's Active Woman"--as well as the lovesick, horny girl who purrs the song "Oh, How I Wish I Weren't In Love With Superman...
