Kate Reid is the show's weak link as the middle sister Masha (the role originally played by Chekhov's own wife), bored with her marriage to a pedant and fated to be separated from the one man she comes to love. For one thing--and it may be ungallant to say so--Miss Reid can no longer pass for a young woman in her midtwenties. Masha is also the most complicated of the three sisters.

...long, electronic link with the earth started with tiny microphones carried inside the astronauts' space helmets. Their voices were fed from the mikes into a small, 3-ft.-sq. box directly behind them in the lunar module. Despite its deceptively simple appearance, the 100-lb. package was the heart of the LM's communications system. Known as a signal processor, it accepted the astronauts' voices as well as 900 other signals-telemetric data on heartbeats, for example, pressure readings in the cabin, data from the computers-and imposed them on a single "carrier" frequency...
...never "Doc"), and the spacecraft communicator, or "Capcom." White dots sliding across the surgeon's console screen indicate heart and respiration rate's of the astronauts. Capcom, always an astronaut himself, handles all communication with the crew, giving the men who are deep in space a direct link with one of their own.

...late to work. He also lives longer. Since the study began, 250 of its subjects have had heart attacks-nearly three out of four were "A" men. "The old Horatio Alger story," says Dr. Friedman, "is becoming the biggest killer in the U.S." The doctors cannot yet explain the link between stress and body chemistry, but they have observed that the cholesterol level of accountants under study rose as the April tax deadline approached and fell afterwards...
