...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. Enough is enough. Like an English pubkeeper at the closing hour, someone should shout...
...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.).

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...
