...destination unknown to her. Winzola McLendon, a friend of Martha's who stayed with her after John's departure, revealed that the couple were communicating only through their lawyers. As for Martha's allegedly disturbed state of mind, the lady spoke for herself. Appearing on NBC in her first television interview in two years, Martha insisted she was all right, declaring "I've never been committed to anything but... the good of my country...
Private eyes will peer around every corner of the schedule. There are two black sleuths, CBS'S James-Bonded superstud Shaft (played by Richard Roundtree, who created the role in the film of the same title), and NBC'S Tenafly, a harassed family man who is just another employee at an outfit called Hightower Investigations, Inc.

Just as DeLuise contends with his crotchety/lazy/dumb family relations...
...shows that do not line up in the lower-middle class seem to fall into the cutesy class, where sex is more explicitly winked at than in previous years. In last week's first episode of NBC's Diana, starring Diana Rigg as what the producers identify as a "fun-loving divorcee" (a somewhat more sophisticated Mary Tyler Moore?), Diana slept in the same bed with a drunken stranger. In NBC's The Girl with Something Extra, E.S.P. is the coyly reconcilable difference between Newlyweds Sally Field (the former Flying Nun) and John Davidson...
