...show is probably the best detective series on TV. Unfortunately, it is not quite good enough. Though Falk is a delight to watch in one of the medium's meatiest roles, the writers frequently fail to support him with plausible scripts or the final surprise that their formula demands. Beyond that, the producers have made the mistake this season of sometimes running the show for two hours rather than the usual hour-and-a-half. It is a burden that not even Falk can carry.

...MEATIEST part of the book, one that appears to break some new ground, is the penultimate piece on "The Need for NAPPI" (Negroes and Practical Politics, Inc.).

Unhappily, his neighbors back home in New Mexico considered McCanless as loco as a headless road runner. He has embarked on history's last Long Trail Drive, across macadam highways and through skyscraper-canyoned cities at the head of his herd-which consists of one aged cow with a plastic window in her side...

...specialize in coal-mining and transport equipment; Czechoslovakia in heavy electrical equipment). But most other COMECON integration attempts have failed because the satellites have learned to distrust each other's-and Moscow's-promises. As Gomulka once complained: "Everyone peels his own turnip." Six Competitors. The meatiest turnip is the Common Market. Satellite commerce with Western Europe (most of it with the Six) is the bloc's main source of hard currency, and in the case of Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia accounts for 30% of their trade. The Reds fear that this trade will be sharply...
