Darkness and a little family tennis made the doubles matches a bit more exciting, but not much. The Roberts sisters teamed up against another sister combo--this time a set of twins, Lynda and Julie Peterson. Undaunted, the Roberts ended the match quickly...
...asking audiences to ante up contributions at fund raisers. Her message: "I don't presume to tell Virginians about Virginia politics, but I do know Chuck Robb." Robb, 37, her lawyer son-in-law, is after the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. On nights when Daughter Lynda heads out campaigning alone with Chuck, Lady Bird also likes to play Miz Lillian's role: babysitting for the kids, Lucinda, 8, and Catherine...

It was a tug of war and other picnic sports at Pepperdine University in southern California, featuring stars such as ABC's Lynda (Wonder Woman) Carter, NBC's Ben (Gemini Man) Murphy and CBS's Telly (Kojak) Savalas. In all, 24 prime-time principals channeled their energies into swimming, running and biking-all for the sake of a Nov. 13 ABC special titled Battle of the Network Stars. The winner on the playing...
