Their Majesties' almost treasonous appeal will be apparent in coming months as millions of Americans switch TV dials from Sonny and Cher to Sonja and Harald and Liz and Phil spectaculars. The royals have always been polished performers. They have, after all, been in the magic business for a long, long time, and their claim to the copyright on Camelot is, in many ways, as enduring as it ever was. Democracies have long since learned they can live comfortably either with them or without them. But the mystique of nationhood is as elusive of definition as ever, and wherever Kings...
...perennial third in the battle for audiences, has long been the most serious about it. In 1974, ABC Evening News Executive Producer Av Westin began a quiet evaluation of a number of female candidates, among them Walters, 44; Stahl, 33; Brown, 35, now stationed in London, and Liz Trotta, 39, correspondent for New York's WNBC-TV.

Altman skillfully portrays the long-suffering secretary who manages Garry's business affairs while Marre captures the combination of grace, warmth, and level-headedness that makes Liz a perfect complement to Garry's irresponsibility. Philip Kraft turns in a hilarious character bit as Roland Maule, affecting nervous and eccentric mannerisms that convincingly delineate his madness. But Susan Schwartz is miscast as the seductive and elegantly attractive Joanna; she is just too abrasive and overtly aggressive. Joanna...
