...Nation or K.K.K. in Jasper County," said Sheriff Billy Rowles. Mayor R.C. Horn reinforced the notion: "We don't show any animosity here. This town has been about loving each other. If it was different, I wouldn't be mayor." Residents of Jasper (pop. 7,500) loudly decried the murder; so did relatives of the suspects. Ronald King, whose son John William, 23, is in custody, wrote to a local TV station, "It hurts me deeply to know that a boy I raised... could find it in himself to take a life. The deed cannot be undone but I hope...
...hole in Brown's head looked an awful lot like a .45-caliber wound." How it got there he can't say, but pressure from "the White House, Joint Chiefs, Commerce and Transportation departments" surely headed off an autopsy. Is Clayman suggesting that the White House had Brown murdered and then engineered a plane crash that killed 34 other people to cover up the murder? "We never used the word murder," he says carefully.

The companions take a less-than-active role in providing Nikki with different types of sage advice, while the suspects do their very best to impede her investigation. The result is nothing less than formulaic. Scenes in which Professor...
...happened somewhere between the clunky premier episode (Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her) and her first classic routine, the Vitameatavegamin commercial, in which Lucy gets steadily soused as she keeps downing spoonfuls of the alcohol-laced potion she's trying to hawk on TV. (Watch the spasm that jolts her face when she gets her first taste of the foul brew; it could serve as a textbook for comics well into the next millennium.) I Love Lucy debuted on CBS in October 1951, but at first it looked little different from other domestic comedies that were starting...
