...anything but the Texas tycoon of fable; he scrambles his own eggs and is an amateur astronomer who orders Maclntyre to keep an eye out for unusual activity around the constellation Virgo as well as along the coveted coastline. Popping in and out of the picture are a ma rine biologist who turns out to have webbed toes, a Russian trawler officer who paddles in to play the stock market when the fish are running near a capitalist land mass, and a hotel manager who is also a shrewd accountant and a demon lover. The minister here abouts...
...Israelis to withdraw from Lebanon. Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon added a new element of tension to the situation when he declared last week in a newspaper interview that the Soviet Union and Israel should enter into negotiations.

Jean has tended the senile, incontinent mother for desolatingly lonely months; Rita has used the Ma Bell commercial method of reaching and touching by phone. Waves of passion rise between the two sisters like water spuming against a coastal reef, then subside in daughterly grief before the great silence: death. Suzanne Bertish's Jean is subcutaneously sensitive, and we feel the sand beneath her skin...
DIED. Jack Webb, 62, actor and alter ego of steely, deadpan Sergeant Joe Friday ("Just the facts, ma'am") on Dragnet; of heart disease; in West Hollywood, Calif.
